ARMENIAN ART AT THE BEIJING BIENNALE 2015

It is impossible to determine the place of memory: it lives as an infinitely developing phenomenon, which is as important as the story. – Pierre Nora
In September and October 2015 in Beijing, on the 6th International Art Biennale the Armenian modern art and history was presented, where the rod was the Armenian Genocide. The exhibition presents unique works of Armenian artists from Armenia, Artsakh and the Diaspora, among them: Hrair Sarkissian (London), Alain Sayeh (Cambridge), Mikael Ohanjanian (Florence), Karen Mirzoyan (Yerevan), etc.

The most fanatical Islamic country in the world, the absolute monarchy of Saudi Arabia, where state-official religion is Wahhabism – a radical branch of Sunni Islam, as of 15 December, 2015 created an Islamic political and military coalition. The aim proclaimed is the joint fight against DAISH or ISIL or “Islamic state”. The new coalition includes 34 Islamic states. The operational headquarters will be located in the capital, Riyadh, which in addition to anti-terrorism activities will also be engaged in coordination with international agencies and other countries.

STRONG-WILLED

Major Aram Arshakyan, captain Sergey Hakobyan and Guay Sirakanyan serve on the front line, carry out combat duty. Their youth passes in the trenches. They have become accustomed to the stress on the contact line, shots, sniper activity. And talking about the likelihood of a new war they say, “There was no peace, as such, on the front line.”

THE BEST EVIDENCE OF THE WORK PERFORMED

From 7 to 12 December, in the unit, operating under the command of Colonel A. Petrosyan, final exams of training courses for junior commanders were held. The commander is pleased with the results of examinations, noting that the subdivision headed by him 6 years in a row has good results.

HOMELAND IS OUR REFERENCE POINT

Mkrtich Gevorgyan, who serves in a training military unit acting under the command of Colonel A. Petrosyan, is one of the best soldiers of the military unit. “He is an exemplary, multilaterally developed young man”, – Captain Hamayak Ashotyan so characterizes his subordinate.

DEVOTEES

Returning from battle reference points on the way, we stopped in the backup division, which provides rear support to the combat points. Here the service of soldiers reminded me the work of Nobel Prize winner Meterling “Life of Bees.” Here everyone was busy with their own business. Their main job is to provide water, food to their comrades who are fighting on the reference points.

FRONT LINE: OUR HOUSE ON THE BORDER

How many years the most dangerous sections of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border guard contract servicemen. It is common to say that contractors are more vigilant and confidently carry out their service, make more mature decisions.
On one of the reference points of the northeastern regions of the republic it is the position of Sr. Sergeant Artashes Bayramyan, who had already stood out for his professional qualities.
