/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The idea of forming a specialized portal appeared
in May 2002, when Grigory Akopov, a Rostov regional representative of
the Yerkramas newspaper, and well-known local lore specialist Georgy
Bagdykov decided to perpetuate the memory of the once nice city of
Nakhichevan-on-Don, which is not part of the Proletarsky region of
Rostov-on-Don region, reported the Yerkramas newspaper of Armenians
of Russia. Now there are no signs in Rostov reminding that a large
Armenian city existed in the Russian Empire over two hundred years
ago. From the moment of the birth of the site the main sections were
Nakhichevan News (here news about the life of the Armenian Diaspora
on Don are published), Historical Excursus (historical facts about
the life of the Don Armenians are gathered here), new ones were added
~V Russian-Armenian Phrase-Book, Nakhichevan Humor, Nakhichevan Faces
and others appeared. Today the portal is the largest ethnic Internet
project of Rostov region. Nakhichevan-on-Don portal won the second
place in City nomination at the New Reality competition of Internet
projects, excelling the information portal of the Rostov-on-Don
Administration. In May 2005 the Nakhichevan-on-Don information portal
became partner of the Yandex News, becoming available to its visitors,
as well as tens of large Internet projects and some printed media.
