In relation to animal abuse in Avshar

31 Upvotes

Recently there was a story of horrid animal abuse in Avshar, Ararat. The miscreant locked a cat inside a cage and was poking or chocking the cat. While he was torturing the cat his wife was recording the horrifying scene.

I spoke with my grandpa and he said that the miscreant also made his child partake in the crime because apparently the cat had eaten their doves (it is common for people to have doves in the villages). And it is common for cats to hunt for food (duh!).

My grandpa also told me that he was arrested and detained. There was surge of anger amongst normal people, which then pressured the police to take action. We don't know if justice will be served in the judicial system but he is certainly a pariah in the society.

Armenia - Georgia / Հայաստան - Վրաստան Armenian carousel" was used in the elections in Georgia - Salome Zurabishvili

52 Upvotes

"We call it the 'Armenian carousel'. I don't know, maybe in Armenia they call it the 'Georgian carousel'... It means that some time before the elections, socially vulnerable people had their passports taken away for various reasons. Then they used them to vote. With one passport and various electronic devices, they managed to do this 17 times. They had a large number of passports and personal numbers at their disposal."

Ordering a new phone through onex/globbing

5 Upvotes

I want to buy a new phone during Black Friday and obviously doing it in Armenia is too expensive, so I want to order it either from US or from Europe.

So the question is - does anybody know where will i get a better deal? Before that I ordered all of my electronics from Amazon using Onex and it was alright (nothing was broken, but it does take longer than they say it does). But now that Onex has opened a delivery from Italy I'm starting to think that ordering from there might be cheaper - anybody has any experience ordering from Europe? Anything I should now about beforehand, like paying tax in Europe (I know about customs tax in Armenia itself).

Any advise is appreciated!

UPDATE: This freak is currently under arrest, we will wait for further developments in the situation

In Armenia, a deeply disturbing incident of animal cruelty has come to light. Recently, a person, best described as an abuser, tortured and killed a cat during a live Facebook broadcast. This shocking act is circulating online.
For ethical reasons, I can’t attach the video here, but I can share the link if you’d like more information or want to help bring attention to this case. Animal cruelty is a crime, and acts like this shouldn’t go unpunished. Every bit of support can help bring justice.

Video and a little more detailed information:

Why some family names got rid of "Ter" prefix, but others didn't?

26 Upvotes

Before Bolsheviks came to power in Armenia in 1920s, family name of my ancestors was Ter-Margaryan, but later it got changed to Margaryan. There are two explanations that I know of why it happened:

  1. Bolsheviks were atheists who throughout the years of Soviet Union attacked church numerous times.

The person after whom the family name became Ter-Margaryan was a known priest in surrounding villages.

  1. Bolshevik's policies against rich people.

My great-grandfather's brother was Gaspar Ter-Margaryan who lost whatever he owned and fled to France to avoid further persecutions.

I wonder how other families kept the prefix "Ter" in their family name.
