Situated along the route of the Great Silk Road, it has fallen within the orbit of a number of empires and come into contact with many cultural influences throughout its history. OVERVIEW FACTS LEADERS MEDIA One of the earliest Christian civilizations, its first churches were founded in the fourth century. It later spent centuries largely under Turkic or Persian control and its rich cultural and architectural heritage combines elements from different traditions. The Armenian language is part of the Indo-European family but its alphabet is unique. An independent Republic of Armenia was proclaimed at the end of the first world war but was short-lived, lasting only until the beginning of the 1920s when the Bolsheviks incorporated it into the Soviet Union. When that empire in turn collapsed in 1991, Armenia regained independence but experienced political and economic trauma. In the mid-1990s the government embarked on an economic reform programme which brought greater stability and some growth. However, unemployment and poverty remain widespread.

Armenia Latest Newsline Real lives Background ... New: UNICEF Armenia website Real lives Armenia's disintegration blackens outlook for its children 19 March 2001 Post-earthquake, post-war, and post-Soviet Armenia is a country beset by aftershock: Its citizens are leaving in droves, and its children are bearing the brunt of failure. Naira Avetisyan's memory of the Armenian earthquake: "I will never forget the smell of sugar mixed with blood. All these horribly injured people on the helicopters, covered with coagulating sweet liquid, the streets filled with sugar." It was midnight, 7 December 1988, the first night of many airlifts to come, and as a young medical intern Naira was airlifting casualties in military helicopters from the ruined town of Spitak for treatment in the capital. "Many just died during the flight. We had no drugs. There was nothing left in the town, nothing apart from bodies and grieving people." The once prosperous manufacturing town of Spitak was at the epicentre of an earthquake that killed 25,000 people in this southern Caucasian country a dozen years ago. Around 16,000 people perished in Spitak as flimsy Soviet apartment buildings caved in on one another and the town's sugar processing plant imploded in a cloud of white icing sugar and concrete slabs. Today, the rebuilt quarters of Armenian towns are reminiscent of the help that poured into the country at the time - the Italian, French, and Uzbek quarters, the Czech School, the Italian hospital, the British Lord Byron School. The world gave generously to pull people from the rubble, to clear the shattered buildings and to rebuild houses.

Home Assistance Programs (Armenian Version) Announcements ... Contacts Armenia Report on Supporting Human Rights Armenia The Government's human rights record remained poor; although there were some improvements in a few areas, serious problems remained. Armenia's Government held presidential and parliamentary elections in 2003. President Robert Kocharian was re-elected in a controversial vote that was marred by numerous serious irregularities; as a result, the election did not meet international standards. Some members of the security services committed human rights abuses. There were reports of arbitrary arrest and detention, and lengthy pretrial detention remained a problem. Prison reform efforts were under way, but prison conditions remained generally poor. Judges were subject to pressure from the executive branch and some were corrupt. There were some limits on freedom of the media, assembly, association and religion. Societal violence against women was a problem. Trafficking in persons was a problem that the Government took some steps to address. The U.S. human rights and democracy strategy continues to focus on fundamental issues, including the need for elections that meet international standards, the development of a vibrant civil society, respect for human rights and the rule of law, reform of the judiciary, respect for freedom of the media, assembly and religion, increased government transparency, and anti-trafficking efforts. U.S. assistance to support this strategy in Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 totaled approximately $22.4 million, of which about $12.2 million was allocated for U.S.-based training and exchange programs.

Tables Armenia: Reopening Metsamor By Kseniya Yershova and Mary Wells October 1996 Revised April 1997 In the 1960s, the Soviet leadership decided to meet the growing energy needs of the copper and aluminum production industry in Armenia by building a nuclear power plant.[1] Unit 1, a VVER reactor that did not possess a seismic resistance system, became operational in 1976. Unit 2, which went on-line in 1979, was designed to withstand an earthquake registering up to 8 on the Richter scale.[2] In the 1980s, a strong environmentalist movement developed in Armenia under the leadership of Hachik Stamultyan. The movement successfully campaigned to close several environmentally hazardous manufacturing facilities and insisted on shutting down the Metsamor nuclear power plant.[3] In September 1988, the Armenian government promised to close the plant by 1991. The devastating 7 December 1988 earthquake, followed by an order from the Central Committee of the Communist Party, finalized the decision to shut the reactors down, although the reactors themselves were undamaged by the quake. Unit 1 was shut down on 25 February 1989, and Unit 2 on 18 March 1989. SHUT DOWN / UNIT 2 RESTART FOREIGN ASSISTANCE For eighteen months in 1994-95, every piece of equipment was thoroughly inspected.[16] During that period, more than 500 tons of equipment were airlifted (to avoid Azerbaijani roadblocks) to the plant and more than 800 upgrades were carried out.[8]

The project will support the implementation of the Government’s Urban Heating Strategy for multi-unit apartment buildings and will improve heating in urban schools. The development objective of this four-year project is to increase the use of clean, efficient, safe and affordable heating technologies in urban schools and multi-unit apartment buildings. The project will achieve this objective by removing barriers and creating market conditions for the commercial provision of heating services; providing long-term financing to service providers and consumers for their investments in heat supply systems and energy efficiency measures; building the capacity of local financial institutions in financing heat supply and energy efficient systems to ensure sustainability after project closing; promoting efficient and safe boilers, heaters, and equipment to meter and control fuel and heat consumption; and stimulating the creation and effective functioning of self-regulating community organizations.

Press Release: Announcement by the Government of Armenia, OTE and Armentel November 25, 2004 Source: OTE On November 25 2004, after a period of intensive negotiations, the Government of Armenia, OTE and Armentel settled all outstanding disputes between them. The settlement package includes the mutual dismissal of an arbitration proceeding between the Government and OTE in London, the issuance of a second GSM license as well as an amended license to Armentel with rationalized build-out obligations. The Government, OTE and Armentel agreed to a compromise from their respective positions, in order to replace a costly and confrontational relationship, with one which is founded on cooperation and the efficiency of the regulatory and business environment, which will lead to the offering of consumer-oriented services. As a result, the Armenian consumer will benefit from an enhanced competitive offering of telecommunication services rendered. On the other hand, Armentel will function under an equitable regulatory framework, which will enable the implementation of high-quality services based on rapidly evolving technologies. With the support of the Armentel customers and the stabilization of the regulatory and business environment for the investor, this new chapter in the field of telecommunications will significantly contribute to the growth of the economy of the Republic of Armenia, and the prosperity of the population.

Home Increasing Government Building Energy Efficiency Office in Armenia combines high comfort level with cost-effective technical solutions USAID funded an energy efficiency demonstration project in the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) building during April-December 2003. The new PURC office is an excellent example of energy efficiency. This project showcases for Armenia a new approach to creating an environmentally safe and comfortable work space while minimizing energy costs. For instance, using natural gas heating will cost nearly a quarter as much as using electricity in Armenia. The expected annual savings due to increasing energy efficiency estimated to be $9,000. Before In Armenia, utility expenses comprise a large share of the tight budget at state and municipal institutions. Therefore, when the reconstruction of the PURC building began, one of the major tasks was to propose an energy efficient system that would provide an appropriate comfort level in the office at a relatively low cost. The PURC wanted a system installed that would serve as a model for others in Armenia.

History E Trade The Soviet Union’s central planning distorted Armenia’s trading relationships, making it highly dependent upon exchanges with other republics in the USSR. Realigning trade patterns was not possible for several years after independence. Political instability in Georgia and a closed border with Azerbaijan precluded most trade with former Soviet republics. Turkey shut its borders in sympathy with Azerbaijan, closing Armenia’s best outlet to western countries. To the south Iran became an increasingly important trading partner, even though Iran itself was isolated from many countries. The gradual return to stability in the region is brightening the prospects of Armenia, which is geographically positioned to become an important center for regional trade.
