Yerevan finishing establishment of FEZ on Iranian border



TEHRAN- Armenian Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan announced that
Armenia is completing the establishment of a free economic zone on the
border with Iran, ARKA news agency quoted him addressing the opening
of the second Eurasian Partnership international forum in Yerevan.

"In the near future, we are completing the establishment of a free
economic zone on the border with Iran and will sign an agreement with
the Iranian side on the special work regime at the border," he said.

"Today Armenia can serve as a good platform for the countries of the
Eurasian Economic Union and Iran to boost their trade and economic
relations," he added.

Earlier in mid-August, in a meeting between Iranian President's
Advisor Akbar Torkan and Armenian Minister of Economic Development and
Investments Suren Karayan, the two sides mulled over expansion of
cooperation on both sides' free trade zones (FTZs).

In the meeting, Torkan named Armenia Iran's bridge for transporting
and exporting goods to Europe, underlining the capability of Iranian
contractors in developing free trade zones in Armenia, in case the
required infrastructure is provided by the country's government.

The Armenian minister, for his part, said that his government has
always paid a specific attention to its economic and trade relations
with Iran, adding that by manufacturing a wide range of products in
their own free trade zones and exporting them to Europe, Iran and
Armenia can renovate the region's economic relations.

Chinese American actress and theatre director Tisa Chang shared, "We are proud to collaborate with Joyce Van Dyke to bring the world premiere of Daybreak to diverse groups in New York City with a prestigious award of $30,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Former employees of Nairit again demand rerun of the plant (video)

Former employees of “Nairit” plant started termless sit-down strike outside the Government building. Their demand remains unchanged- rerun of the plant. “There are investors, who want to do audit, sign a memorandum, but the Government does no action,” Anahit Manukyan, former employee of “Nairit”, chemist, engineer told “A1+”.

The fire in “Nairit” plant at the beginning of the week is commented in different ways by the former employees. “Constant evaporation can lead to it and the substance could burn from a simple spark. I don’t think that it was done intentionally,” says Anahit Manukyan.

“I think that here is something intentional; first they want to solve that issue at once showing “Nairit”’s inability to operate without understanding that chemical industry is a constant process and the whole staff is alert as a soldier in the posts. Those containers were under direct sunrays for a long time and nothing happened,” noted former employee of “Nairit” Tamara Mirazizyan.

If “Nairit” plant continues to be neglected, former employees don’t rule out even more dangerous situations, especially when, according to their details, starting from 2009 the plant has been plundered periodically.

While the former employees of “Nairit” were holding a protest action, the Minister of Emergency Situations went out of the Government building. According to the former employees, after numerous dismissals the MES is responsible for the security of “Nairit”.

Davit Tonoyan didn’t rule out that the human factor may have been the reason for the fire in “Nairit”. So it is possible that the incident on August 28 may be the result of negligence.

PanARMENIAN.Net – Armenia's Levon Aronian reached a quick draw with Peter Svidler of Russia at the penultimate round of the Sinquefield Cup and retained his top position alongside two other grandmasters.

Currently, half the field can still win the tournament. Sergey Karjakin (Russia) is now tied for fourth place with Magnus Carlsen (Norway), half a point below Aronian, Vishy Anand (India) and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (France).

The Armenian will face Carlsen in the final round of the tournament.

If all games end in draws on the last day, or if the three current leaders all win their games, there will be no playoff.

An exhibition dedicated to the 200th anniversary of prominent Russian-Armenian seascape artist Hovhannes (Ivan) Aivazovsky is set to launch at the National Gallery of Armenia on 15 September, the Gallery administration told Panorama.am.

Earlier, speaking to Panorama.am, Arman Tsaturyan, Director of the National Gallery of Armenia, unveiled plans to organize great events dedicated to the artist’s 200th birthday anniversary, expecting increased interest by both the society and the media outlets.

“We intend to exhibit those works by Aivazovsky which have not been displayed previously. Thus, the exhibition features not only the paintings on permanent display, but also the works kept at the funds of the National Gallery of Armenia,” the director said, adding that  due to the efforts of Armenia’s Minister of Culture Armen Amiryan and the museum famous painting “Chaos” by Hovhannes Aivazovsky kept at Mkhitarian Congregation in Venice has been transferred to Armenia to enter into the exhibition

To note, the 200th birthday anniversary of the prominent marine artist was put on UNESCO Anniversaries 2017.

Ivan (Hovhannes) Aivazovsky (born July 29, 1817 – died May 5, 1900), also known as Haivazovskiy, was a Russian painter of Armenian descent, most famous for his seascapes, which constitute more than half of his paintings. Aivazovskiy was born to a poor Armenian family in the city of Theodosia in the Crimea.

At the age of twenty, he graduates from the Art Academy of St. Petersburg with a gold medal. He goes to Italy to continue his studies and returns as an internationally acclaimed seascape painter. Neither financial security nor life in Palace interests him. He returns to his native land, builds a workplace on the seashore and, until the last days of his life, dedicates himself to the work that he loves. He participates in exhibitions all over the world.
