Bloggers discussed various YouTube videos depicting the brawl between photojournalist Gagik Shamshyan and Bryusov University’s Security. Some tried to prove the photojournalist provoked the fight, others claimed the opposite, while some just bragged about – “Երկիրը երկիր չի” (It’s all ‘couse the country’s f**ed up!).
The disagreement between the radical opposition movement Armenian national congress and the only opposition party represented in Armenia’s parliament – “Heritage” attracted some attention as well.
Many others centered on the possibility that the US President Barac Obama might actually fulfil his campaign pledge and use the term Armenian Genocide in the traditional April 24th address.
On a more real-life development, along with ‘regular’ online media, the Armenian bloggers this week were invited to meet Inga and Anush Arshakyans, the twin sister-singers, who will represent Armenia at the Eurovision 2009. Bloggers Tigran Kocharyan (better known as Pigh) and Ani Qaramyan (coordinator of the online PR campaign of Armenian Eurovision contestants, who also maintains their official blogs in English and Russian) told us more about the meeting of bloggers and singers in the course of an interview for the 40th episode of the Armenian Blogosphere Podcast.
The podcast itself (which is also a radio program broadcast on Radio Hay on Saturday and Monday mornings, remember?) centered more on Feedom Figter’s two posts about the Armenian economy.
In the first of the two posts Feedom Figter tells about the 22 year-old Italian pornstar Laura Perego, who stripped out of her black overcoat in Milan’s stock exchange in sign of protest against the financial crisis. In the two posts the Freedom Fighter protests against “dumb economists” and puts together a national rescue plan.
