As Armenia gears up to host this year’s Starmus global science festival, guest speakers and performers are already arriving in town. In the run-up to the festival, participants are holding workshops and master classes, including one on astrophotography, which CivilNet’s team went to see. The festival will take place on September 5-10, culminating in a concert led by Queen guitarist Brian May and System of a Down’s Serj Tankian.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
