Azerbaijani Embassy to Russia sends note of protest to Russian Foreign Ministry regarding invitation of Karabakh separatists to Moscow
April, 2008The Institute of the CIS states, led by K.Zatulin, first deputy chairman of the Committee of the Russian Parliament on the affairs of the CIS and contacts with compatriots, held an international conference "Following Kosovo: commonwealth of unrecognized states on the way to recognition" in Moscow on March 28, 2008. The conference was attended by representatives of the illegal regime, functioning in the occupied lands of Azerbaijan and it was held with participation of the government officials of Russia. Due to this fact, the Azerbaijani Embassy to Russia undertook due measures and sent a note of protest to the Russian Foreign Ministry on April 4 of 2008. The document drew attention to the constant illegal actions of Zatulin, who is the representative of the legislative power under the Constitution and is also the first deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee, dealing with the issues of the CIS and reads that such actions are inadmissible. The embassy states openly that invitation of the representatives of the Russian Foreign Ministry and Moscow authorities do not comply with the relations of strategic cooperation, established between the two countries and reflected in the concluded contracts and other political and legal documents. The note requests the Russian Foreign Ministry to explain the conduction of the said conference and states inadmissibility of repetition of such cases in the future.

Russian Owner Pledges More Investments In Armenian Phone Network
The Russian owner of the national telecommunication company ArmenTel said on Monday that it will invest $74 million this year in the ongoing modernization of its fixed-line and mobile phone networks in Armenia. The VimpelCom operator claims to have made about $90 million worth of such investments in the course of last year. Senior VimpelCom executives said the additional investments are aimed, among other things, at reversing ArmenTel’s declining share in Armenia’s market for wireless service. The decline began immediately after the abolition of ArmenTel’s legal monopoly on mobile telephony and the launch of the country’s second wireless network, VivaCell, in 2005. Less than one third of an estimated 2 million Armenian mobile phone users are currently subscribed to the ArmenTel network. VivaCell, which is owned by another Russian telecom giant, MTS, claims to have attracted 400,000 subscribers during the past seven months alone. According to Dmitry Pleskonos, a VimpelCom vice-chairman, ArmenTel’s market share stood at about 40 percent a year ago. Pleskonos blamed the drop on the ongoing upgrading of the ArmenTel network, which causes periodical disruptions in phone connection, and VivaCell’s aggressive marketing strategy. “We did not react sufficiently to the activity displayed by our business competitors,” he told a news conference in Yerevan. Pleskonos and other VimpelCom executives spoke to journalists as ArmenTel officially renamed its wireless division Beeline, the brand name of the VimpelCom networks in Russia and several other former Soviet republics. The name change appears to be part of the company’s strategy of improving the reputation of its Armenian subsidiary. ArmenTel earned notoriety for the poor quality and high cost of service under its previous, Greek parent company, OTE. The latter’s failure to invest in and expand the wireless network meant that Armenia had less than 300,000 mobile phone users as recently as three years ago. The service became accessible and affordable for the average Armenian only after the abolition of the ArmenTel monopoly. VimpelCom has been grappling with ArmenTel’s negative image ever since paid about $500 million to buy the company from OTE in late 2006. Pleskonos said the renaming of the cellphone network will also boost the quality of its service.

Dear reader,
New blog commentaries will henceforth be posted on an irregular basis. The comment board however will continue to be moderated on a regular basis. You are therefore welcome to post your comments and ideas.
I have come to see the Russian nation as the last front on earth against the scourges of Westernization, Americanization, Globalism, Zionism, Islamic extremism and pan-Turkism. I have also come to see Russia as the last hope humanity has for the preservation of classical western/European civilization, ethnic cultures, Apostolic Christianity and the concept of traditional nation-state. Needless to say, an alliance with Russia is Armenia's only hope for survival in a dangerous place like the south Caucasus. These sobering realizations compelled me to create this blog in 2010. This blog quickly became one of the very few voices in the vastness of Cyberia that dared to preach about the dangers of Globalism and the Anglo-American-Jewish alliance, and the only voice emphasizing the crucial importance of Armenia's close ties to the Russian nation. Today, no man and no political party is capable of driving a wedge between Armenia and Russia. Anglo-American-Jewish and Turkish agenda in Armenia will not succeed. I feel satisfied knowing that at least on a subatomic level I have had a hand in this outcome.
To limit clutter in the comments section, I kindly ask all participants of this blog to please keep comments coherent and strictly relevant to the featured topic of discussion. Moreover, please realize that when there are several "anonymous" visitors posting comments simultaneously, it becomes very confusing (not to mention annoying) trying to figure out who is who and who said what. Therefore, if you are here to engage in conversation, make an observation, express an idea or simply insult me, I ask you to at least use a moniker to identify yourself. Moreover, please appreciate the fact that I have put an enormous amount of information into this blog. In my opinion, most of my blog commentaries and articles, some going back ten-plus years, are in varying degrees relevant to this day and will remain so for a long time to come. Commentaries and articles found in this blog can therefore be revisited by longtime readers and new comers alike. I therefore ask the reader to treat this blog as a historical record and a depository of important information relating to Eurasian geopolitics, Russian-Armenian relations and humanity's historic fight against the evils of Globalism and Westernization.
Thank you as always for reading.
