 15 janvier 2019, le magazine les Nouvelles d’Arménie, mensuel d’actualité s’adressant principalement aux lecteurs francophones d’origine arménienne remettait ses premiers Trophées littéraires.

Parmi les quatre catégories de prix, le Trophée du récit dessiné a été décerné à Contes ordinaires d’une société résignée par l’auteur turc Ersin Karabulut édité chez Fluide Glacial.

Par cette distinction, le jury entend à la fois une œuvre originale, porteuse d’un message universel par un maître de la narration graphique en résistance à la dérive autoritaire en Turquie. Pour cela, il passe notamment outre l’antagonisme autour du génocide des Arméniens de 1915 que l’état turc refuse de reconnaître.

Il faut bien des artistes comme Ersin Karabulut pour dépasser cet état de fait et commencer à tracer les premières lignes entre les peuples.

Said NA Speaker Ararat Mirzoyan said during the National Assembly (NA) session: “If I had to choose between two candidates in equal, I’d give preference to a female candidate.

Will prices for services of APPA company rise in Armenia? – Demonstration in front of government (video)

A group of citizens protesting in front of the government building against the rise in prices for services of APPA company. Sargis Yengoyan, the participant of the demontration, noted that it was officially stated that it would not go up, but he is not so sure.

“We have negotiated with the leadership of the Central Bank. We were at a round table with insurance directors, as well as with the director of the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. We have been given promises that have not been fulfilled yet. Negotiations revealed that the situation will gradually deteriorate, and the prices for the services of APPA company will rise in Armenia.”

According to the demonstrator, the problem is that APPA company previously signed contracts with their programs with a small commission. And now they use the French ASWA program.

“These days we have ASWA program, which requires a very big commission for its service. It takes 1-1.5 billion AMD for annual service. Meanwhile, we have an official note that our old Lite Insurance is ready to do it with just 18 million drams.”

Heads of auto insurance companies said they probably would increase the prices, but, according to Sargis Engoyan, if they say probably, it means they will.

The demonstrators demanded a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan, which did not take place, but officials from government met with the protesters. The demonstrators expressed their concern, and the government officials proposed to submit a written version of the problem to the Government.
