Although much of Armenia has been engrossed in its own domestic political developments, this week's American congressional elections have relevance for Armenia's relations with the superpower.

A tour in Karabakh begins with the "grandma and the grandpa" sculpture located on the slope of the hill, the visit card of Karabakh. The Ghazanchetsots Church in Shushi, Gandzasar, Dadivank monasteries, the Kachaghakaberd (a first century fortres., believed to be a Christian monument, although Christianity was adopted as a state religion in 301 A.D.) and the Sarsang reservoir are just a few sites that serve up the beauty of Karabakh (referred to by its ancient name, Artsakh, by many). And the rich nature of the locale seems even more beautiful as the hospitable people in this place welcome the visitors with warmth in their smiling eyes.
