In the Iranian Presidential Elections, the first stage of which is on June 12, main opponents are current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and former Prime Minister Mir-Hossein Mousavi, the latter supported by reformers and, what is quite important, by the youth up to 30 years old, who form 60% of the country's population.

The vital point is whether the country will be able to join the world-wide system of values, which it has been refusing for 30 years already.

The successive meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Prague once again was unproductive. Such was, at least, the impression of the statements, which as always, were filled with on-duty, non-committal phrases. In a word, no "breakthrough" occurred.

On April 11, the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC) begins to celebrate the Easter, one of the six patronal festivals. From sunset till late night all the churches of the Armenian Apostolic Church serve Liturgy that marks the end of Lent and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The celebration of the dead and resurrected god dates back to the ancient Egyptian religion, when the Egyptians celebrated the death and resurrection of God Osiris. Present Christian Easter takes its origin from the Old Testament. The old Jews celebrated the Passover (Pesach) as the holiday of exodus of Jews from Egypt.

The alarm has already sounded for a number of employment agencies: employers' offers are decreasing in ratio with the increasing labor supply.
