Lake Sevan

And let's also, I want to also, I mean, we can go on, but I also do want to mention one thing.

Former foreign minister of Azerbaijan, Zulfiqarov, Hashim posted a picture of him swimming in Lake Sevan, and he actually used very rude words.

I think he used the word gaziol, meaning goat.

Hey, goat, stop swimming in our lake.

I want to thank our two new members of the HFCC, CJSC Noatis and AR Radio Intercontinental, who have collaborated between themselves and with Red Telecom to organize this conference, which is taking place for the first time here in Armenia.

During this week, we'll have the opportunity to see some very interesting sites here in Yerevan and Lake Savan area.

And on Friday, we hope you'll join us all, all of us for the excursion that Naradas and AR Radio Intercontinental are sponsoring for us to a historic broadcast site once used for jamming shortwave transmissions during the Cold War.

but now used to transmit shortwave programs for a variety of organizations to various target areas and medium wave.

That's because 156 riders from 10 countries are participating in the Tour of Armenia, a multi-day bicycle race that kicked off today in the Armenian town of Kavar.

The race will feature four stages over four days, covering more than 300 miles across the shores of Lake Sevan and through the hills of Lory and Tavush provinces, before finishing in Yerevan on Sunday.
