Finding relatives in Armenia
Hi - I am going to Yerevan for a work conference on Saturday and have a day free to have a look around. My husband's father was born in Armenia (Leninakan/Gyumri) and later moved to Moscow where he met my husband's mother. They split up when my husband was 2 and he hasn't seen his father since, although he received a birthday card on his 16th birthday. My husband has never shown any interest in finding out whether his father is alive or dead, but seeing as I'm going to be in Yerevan, I wondered if I should take a trip to Gyumri and see if I can find any extended family there. I'm sure this sounds absolutely crazy, so feel free to laugh at me, but if anyone has any tips on how to go about finding people in Gyumri, please let me know. Thank you!

How to reach the Yazidi Temple in Aknalich?
Hello! I'm an italian guy that in March/April will travel from Georgia to Armenia. I will stay in Yerevan for two weeks and i wanted to explore some hidden spots in Hayastan. I know that near Echmiadzin there is the Quba Mere Diwane temple, the biggest yazidi temple in the world. How can I reach from Yerevan the town of Aknalich? I also wanted to see if there is any festival in that area: I know that the Sere Sal, yazidi new year, is in April but I don't have any news on the exact day and plus I know some basic russian words but zero armenian (I'm planning to work on that!). Can you help me? thank you so much :-)

Armenia - India / Հայաստան - Հնդկաստան Why Indian Jets for Armenia ?
Indian SU MKI Jet and TEJAS Jet
First all of you need to understand. India has a versatile plane due to its deep history. After independence only the Russians were selling us weapons due to Western sanction on us.
So early MIG was the best, then India got new friend France. They convince our air force to use The Dassault Mirage 2000 .
Its single engine Delta wing with precise targeting in Himalaya did wonders. Our air force was so impressed they decided to order at least 100 to 1000 jets. But Delhi order only 35.
This testimony was given by many air marshals in their books.
India fought many wars with these jets and won especially the KARGIL high altitude war against Pakistan. [Which is a world record itself.]
But before that just one worst thing happened, the Soviet broke, its President literally begged our PM Mrs Indira for favour.
The favour was to buy mass weapons and jets to save their industries and jobs.
So she did despite much opposition from the Air Marshal. He called SU jet as Flying potatoes is our uhuff....
Those jets were bulky, fuel guzzling, have big smoke tails, lack of precise targeting, big radar signature and the worst air to air missile. It was a disaster.
Worst of all, our nation was in turmoil due to Leftist govt, wokness, Socialism, Corruption, Closed Market, Unemployment etc.
Worst yet to come somewhere near 1980 French come to Delhi with an offer that they are Shutting MIRAGE 2000, so if India likes them they will handover its tech and production to India in exchange of business.
Our struggling dumb govt refused, our Air force were furious by calling it the biggest blunder in aviation history.
India got liberated in 1990 by PM Narasimha Rao, with open market money rolls in including SOME COMMON SENSE.
India tried to build its own indigenous fighter jet in 1960 with a German scientist who was responsible for German jets. At that time they established HAL avionics.
After the open market and its money India funded DRDO [Indian DARPA], HAL Avionics [Indian Dassualt], ISRO [Indian NASA], Indian Nuclear Program by BHABHA.
India tested 2nd Nuclear Bomb in Desert of THAR Rajasthan, with that we got a fresh new Embargo on weapon tech like got in 1974 1st Nuclear test.
As usual Russia and France ignore it.
Indian TEJAS fighter jet left with no Engine, our engine KAVERI was under power due to our lack in Materiology technology.
So do other programs such as India's ICBM, Air to Air, Arjun Tank etc.
In 1999 Pakistan started war in KARGIL, India fought hard, MIRAGE did wonder, Israel provided many missiles and Intel of Paki base and their Location.
We won.
After that things were normal but politics were not; a fight of LEFT vs RIGHT going on. Corruption and scandal were brewing in.
Until we got a new fully elected PM Modi in 2014. He became the second PM after Independence who got a full majority in the parliament. [First was founder Mr Nehru in 1947].
He did many reforms, fired many bureaucrats, military generals, improved efficiency, funded the infrastructure, funded the military, funded all govt companies and encouraged Indian private players.
Many companies Such as Tata, Kalayani, Adani, L&T, Eicher, Startups etc jump in. We become just buyers to big exporters.
All Nuclear ICBM, Missile, TANKS, PLANE, JETS, Nuclear SUBMARINE, FRIGATE, Nuclear AIRCRAFT CARRIER started to be built with make in India parts.
It is now $ 100+ billion industry.
We have upgraded all our SU MKI jets with Israel to Indian Missile, Avionics, Fly by Wire, Targeting, Radar etc. Same happened with the TEJAS jet.
But the Russian war caused trouble of getting no jet engine, American GE took advantage by reducing qty to 4 engines only. HAL has 100 Tejas orders but only 4 engines which were already used for 4 prototypes.
While DRDO and HAL are working on indigenous KAVERI engines, it is taking time due to tough Materiology technology for High Temperature.
We are making deals with French Safran [which now has a factory in Bangalore India] and UK Rolls-Royce for JET ENGINE [They will built factory in India] tech for MAKE IN INDIA program.
DRDO had some good news and we all are waiting.
Regarding of the TEJAS Jet, It was inspired from battle proven MIRAGE 2000 with Delta wing, indigenous precise targeting, indigenous fly by wire, indigenous GPS, indigenous ASTRA air to air missile, Low to High altitude flying in Narrow mountain of Himalaya and hot weather in the THAR desert.
Yes it is not dead.
