Colorado State House...
... passed a bill to require Armenian and Jewish Genocide studies in the High School curriculum. ANCA sent a note of gratitude to their partner organizations for helping to lobby for the bill.
http://asbarez.com/194570/colorado-house-passes-bill-on-holocaust-armenian-genocide-education/ BHK leader Dodi Gago
...sharply criticized the Pashinyan administration with various accusations about "political persecutions", "failure to keep their promises to people" and said 100% of govt members must resign. He urged a consolidation against Pashinyan and will hold discussions with other parties.
Pashinyan's office responded saying Dodi Gago is making desperate comments because he knows his past tax evasions, illegal property dealings, voter fraud, etc. are being actively investigated, so he sensed danger and decided to go on offense.
High Tech Minister indirectly called Gago an illiterate man who calls others inexperienced.
Context: Two of Gago's top company directors are facing felony charges. The most famous money laundering case involving UCOM-owner is about Gago's director allegedly bribing HHK regime to allow Gago to evade taxes/laws. https://youtu.be/EolAGj-6tOc https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/189622 https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/189624 http://www.panarmenian.net/arm/news/281759/ Russian outlet publishes cigarette smuggling "fake news"
Context: HHK-linked businessmen allegedly smuggled cigarettes to Russia and got caught. Serj's fugitive son-in-law published a conspiracy theory blaming the smuggling on Pashinyan family. Today a Russian website vestivrn.ru published a story claiming
another smuggling incident occurred and promoted fugitive Minasyan's accusations against Pashinyan.
Armenian IRS contacted its Russian colleagues for info and says this story was fake news.

This time his target is Healthcare Minister Torosyan. /s
Anti-vaxx Facebook user shared a photo of Torosyan with "Gavi Alliance" logo on the background.
"Torosyan is a member of Gavi Alliance funded by Bill Gates. It vaccinates kids in poor countries. We won't let you [Torosyan] vaccinate us and our kids. You must resign," wrote the anti-vaxx activist. It reached news sites like armday.am
What is Gavi Alliance? It vaccinates half of the world's kids, including 760mln poor kids who couldn't afford to buy it. They do so by working with vaccine companies to reduce the price for poor countries.
Bill Gates essentially pays the bill for poor kids. I REPEAT. Bill Gates is not shoving expensive vaccines in kids' throats to make money. It's the opposite.
Up until 2019 Armenia was considered poor, so it qualified for Gavi's hepatitis, diphtheria etc. vaccines.
In 2019 Armenia crossed the GDP-per-capita limit and now pays the full price. (no pun intended)
Minister Torosyan became Gavi board member in July-2019 after Armenia was already excluded form handouts.

The chief of general staff of armed forces Lt. Gen Artak Davtyan is in hot water for organizing his son's wedding during COVID.
The army man, however, says they followed the regulations to limit the number of attendees and keep them apart. Hraparak outlet, however, claims there were hundreds of cars outside.
Pashinyan's chief of staff denied rumors by Roboserj outlets claiming that he, too, was involved with the wedding. The official asked the outlets to retract the "misinformation."

COVID messed up stats for some illnesses. 100 fewer people died from cancer this year. A cancer patient, who was "soon going to die from cancer", ended up dying from COVID. COVID essentially "stole" the statistic from cancer.
Armenia is among the countries that records these deaths as being from COVID, and not cancer. These deaths account for ~40% of all cases.

https://www.armtimes.com/hy/article/189645 Healthcare system on the edge / Patients die without bed
Pashinyan reports: We believe there could be 100,000 [mostly undetected] infections in Armenia.
Despite recently adding 2,000 suitable beds and building a new facility, 200 COVID patients are currently waiting for a free bed. 3 of them died while waiting.
132 beds will be ready soon. St. Gregory hospital is building a new reanimation facility. Erebuni hospital will follow suit.
At first, we decided to introduce a widespread lockdown, but our studies concluded that it won't be effective because people don't respect quarantine orders either way.
The last few days have shown us that even if we shut down certain public places, people will take their parties home and still get infected; the only thing we would achieve is a worse economy.
The moment we believe the public will take the situation seriously and is ready to comply, we'll immediately introduce a lockdown.
We are in a critical state. The line to Hell has been crossed. Everyone must understand that they can die from COVID without making it to a hospital bed.
Hospital chief reports: While the cases were mild in March, nowadays we get more serious and critical cases. Many patients delay seeking medical treatment/diagnosis. Doctors need your help. Wash your hands, wear a mask, keep a social distance.
Policeman reports: We patrol roads and sidewalks. Many times the youth unnecessarily rebels and refuses to follow police instructions about masks. We'd rather not to give tickets. Respect safety.

They can't fly, so they stay and explore their homeland.
Every year, thousands of Armenians visit Lori's Stepanavan Dendropark nature area to witness the pollination of pine trees. Nearby hotels and restaurants boom.
Many foreigners reserve a room before visiting. This year the reservations were canceled due to COVID. Local tourism is also down.
Nevertheless, the nearby "Sochut" recreation center is happy with the current tourist numbers. It's 100% booked. Last week the Dendropark attendance was so high the govt had to throttle it after seeing the long unprotected queue lines.
Not everyone is doing as well. Grig House Eco Resort says they're 80% full, while Tej Ler is <30% capacity.
Lori Tourism Development chief says their research shows that many of these local tourists were supposed to fly abroad but couldn't, so they visited Lori instead.

https://factor.am/257204.html roads connecting Artsakh with Armenia
Two main roads are connecting Artsakh to Armenia. The central 90km road connects Goris, Armenia to Stepanakert, Artsakh. It was built after independence with the help of diasporan donations.
Diasporan donations in 2013 allowed the govt to build the second 114km road, this one in the north. It connects Vardenis, Armenia to Martakert, Artsakh.
In late-2018 the govt announced plans to build the 3rd road to connect south-central Artsakh (Hadrut region) to Armenia's Goris region. The construction begins this year. The road will allow southern Artsakh to develop faster.
President Arayik said they're negotiating with an energy firm ArtsakhEnergo to revamp the electric grid in this region by 2022.

Entrepreneur Hayk Mkrtchyan got bored during the lockdown and created a new card game "Droshapolis". People have always asked him to have a board game involving flags. "I'm bad at geography so it motivated me," said Hayk.
2 players are necessary. It's family-friendly. The game has several difficulty levels controlled by the number of cards.
195 cards contain each country's capital and other famous info, but not the ones you commonly find in school books.
The group was able to print the cards once the lockdown was lifted. The first batch had to be recalled because it contained a wrong info due to an error on a computer file.
In 10 days they sold enough sets to cover the 2mln production cost.
The creator will ask the Education Ministry to license the cards as a supplementary product. If approved, geography teachers can use it during classes.

Complete freedom of navigation and passage by day and by night under any flag and with any kind of cargo, without any formalities, or tax, or charge whatever (subject, however, to international sanitary provisions) unless for services directly rendered, such as pilotage, light, towage or other similar charges, and without prejudice to the rights exercised in this respect by the services and undertakings now operating under concessions granted by the Turkish Government.
To facilitate the collection of these dues, merchant vessels passing the Straits will communicate to stations appointed by the Turkish Government their name, nationality, tonnage and destination.
Pilotage remains optional.
(b) In Time of War, Turkey being Neutral.
Complete freedom of navigation and passage by day and by night under the same conditions as above.

Pilotage remains optional.
(c) In Time of War, Turkey being a Belligerent.
Freedom of navigation for neutral vessels and neutral non-military aircraft, if the vessel or aircraft in question does not assist the enemy, particularly by carrying contraband, troops or enemy nationals. Turkey will have the right to visit and search such vessels and aircraft, and for this purpose aircraft are to alight on the ground or on the sea in such areas as are specified and prepared for this purpose by Turkey. The rights of Turkey to apply to enemy vessels the measures allowed by international law are not affected.
Turkey will have full power to take such measures as she may consider necessary to prevent enemy vessels from using the Straits. These measures, however, are not to be of such a nature as to prevent the free passage of neutral vessels, and Turkey agrees to provide such vessels with either the necessary instruction or pilots for the above purpose.
- Warships, induding Fleet Auxiliaries, Troopships, Aircraft Carriers and Military Aircraft.
(a) In Time of Peace.
Complete freedom of passage by day and by night under any flag, without any formalities, or tax, or charge whatever, but subject to the following restrictions as to the total force:
The maximum force which any one Power may send through the Straits into the Black Sea is not to be greater than that of the most powerful fleet of the littoral Powers of the Black Sea existing in that sea at the time of passage; but with the proviso that the Powers reserve to themselves the right to send into the Black Sea, at all times and under all circumstances, a force of not more than three ships, of which no individual ship shall exceed 10,000 tons.
Turkey has no responsibility in regard to the number of war vessels which pass through the Straits.
In order to enable the above rule to be observed, the Straits Commission provided for in Article 10 will, on the 1st January and the 1st July of each year, enquire of each Black Sea littoral Power the number of each of the following classes of vessel which such Power possesses in the Black Sea: Battle-ships, battle-cruisers, aircraft-carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, or other types of vessels as well as naval aircraft; distinguishing between the ships which are in active commission and the ships with reduced complements, the ships in reserve and the ships undergoing repairs or alterations.
The Straits Commission will then inform the Powers concerned that the strongest naval force in the Black Sea comprises: Battleships, battle-cruisers, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, aircraft and units of other types which may exist. The Straits Commission will also immediately inform the Powers concerned when, owing to the passage into or out of the Black Sea of any ship of the strongest Black Sea force, any alteration in tha[sic] force has taken place.
The naval force that may be sent through the Straits into the Black Sea will be calculated on the number and type of the ships of war in active commission only.
(b) In Time of War, Turkey being Neutral.
Complete freedom of passage by day and by night under any flag, without any formalities, or tax, or charge whatever, under the same limitations as in paragraph 2 (a),
However, these limitations will not be applicable to any belligerent Power to the prejudice of its belligerent rights in the Black Sea.
The rights and duties of Turkey as a neutral Power cannot authorise her to take any measures liable to interfere with navigation through the Straits, the waters of which, and the air above which, must remain entirely free in time of war, Turkey being neutral, just as in time of peace.
Warships and military aircraft of belligerents will be forbidden to make any capture, to exercise the right of visit and search, or to carry out any other hostile act in the Straits
As regards revictualling and carrying out repairs, war vessels will be subject to the terms of the Thirteenth Hague Convention of 1907, dealing with maritime neutrality.
Military aircraft will receive in the Straits similar treatment to that accorded under the Thirteenth Hague Convention of 1907 to warships, pending the conclusion of an international Convention establishing the rules of neutrality for aircraft.
(c) In Time of War, Turkey being Belligerent.
Complete freedom of passage for neutral warships, without any formalities, or tax, or charge whatever, but under the same limitations as in paragraph 2 (a).
The measures taken by Turkey to prevent enemy ships and aircraft from using the Straits are not to be of such a nature as to prevent the free passage of neutral ships and aircraft, and Turkey agrees to provide the said ships and aircraft with either the necessary instructions or pilots for the above purpose.
Neutral military aircraft will make the passage of the Straits at their own risk and peril, and will submit to investigation as to their character. For this purpose aircraft are to alight on the ground or on the sea in such areas as are specified and prepared for this purpose by Turkey.
- (a) The passage of the Straits by submarines of Powers at peace with Turkey must be made on the surface.
(b) The officer in command of a foreign naval force, whether coming from the Mediterranean or the Black Sea, will communicate, without being compelled to stop, to a signal station at the entrance to the Dardanelles or the Bosphorus, the number and the names of vessels under his orders which are entering the Straits.
These signal stations shall be notified from time to time by Turkey; until such signal stations are notified, the freedom of passage for foreign war vessels in the Straits shall not thereby be prejudiced, nor shall their entry into the Straits be for this reason delayed.
(c) The right of military and non-military aircraft to fly over the Straits, under the conditions laid down in the present rules, necessitates for aircraft:
(i) Freedom to fly over a strip of territory of five kilometres on each side of the narrow parts of the Straits;
(ii) Liberty, in the event of a forced landing, to alight on the coast or on the sea in the territorial waters of Turkey.
- Limitation of Time of Transit for Warships. In no event shall warships in transit through the Straits, except in the event of damage or peril of the sea, remain therein beyond the time which is necessary for them to effect their passage, including the time of anchorage during the night if necessary for safety of navigation.
- Stay in the Ports of the Straits and of the Black Sea.
(a) Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of this Annex apply to the passage of vessels, warships and aircraft through and over the Straits and do not affect the right of Turkey to make such regulations as she may consider necessary regarding the number of men-of-war and military aircraft of any one Power which may visit Turkish ports or aerodromes at one time, and the duration of their stay.
(b) Littoral Powers of the Black Sea will also have a similar right as regards their ports and aerodromes.
(c) The light-vessels which the Powers at present represented on the European Commission of the Danube maintain as stationnaires at the mouths of that river as far up as Galatz will be regarded as additional to the men-of-war referred to in paragraph 2, and may be replaced in case of need.
- Special Provisions relating to Sanitary Protection.
Warships which have on board cases of plague, cholera or typhus, or which have had such cases on board during the last seven days, and warships which have left an infected port within less than five times 24 hours must pass through the Straits in quarantine and apply by the means on board such prophylactic measures as are necessary to prevent any possibility of the Straits being infected.
The same rule shall apply to merchant ships having a doctor on board and passing straight through the Straits without calling at a port or breaking bulk.
Merchant ships not having a doctor on board shall be obliged to comply with the international sanitary regulations before entering the Straits, even if they are not to call at a port therein.
