Any work in Armenia done through the Internet is suffering damage
since August 4 because of a broken fibre optic cable passing though
the territory of Georgia. Two times since the breakdown Armenia
completely had no Internet connection.

Monopoly-holding ArmenTel provides a very unstable connection via
satellite and does not promise any change for at least one more week
assuring that repair is under way to fix the broken cable on the
bottom of the Black Sea. ArmenTel is currently providing only 5%
access to the Internet. The satellite’s connection capacity is 2
megabits. Cursing this no-way-out situation, experts also blame the
authorities along with the ArmenTel.

“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
