'''Manvel Saribekyan''' (born February 27, 1990) was a Armenian civilian from the village of Tutujur, who was detained on September 11, 2010 near the border of [[Armenia]] and [[Azerbaijan]] who later died. According to [[Armenians]], he was a civilian intentionally captured by the Azerbaijanis, while Azerbaijanis say they captured a spy, who later committed suicide.<ref name=Iwpr>{{cite news|title=While Azerbaijan says it captured a spy who committed suicide, Armenians say he was a shepherd and was deliberately killed.|url=http://iwpr.net/report-news/tensions-rise-after-armenian-dies-azeri-custody|accessdate=15 May 2012}}</ref>

==Background==
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) headed the return of Saribekyan’s body to Armenia. The Armenian side also released the Azeri citizen Eldar Tagiev.

Menq (Menk) is an Agricultural Mutual Assistance Association for the residents of [[Kashatagh]], [[Karabakh]], founded and run by [[Tigran Kyureghyan]].

==Information in English==
The following information was translated from the Menq website, but some of it is a dated. Today the organization is much more focused on beehives and beekeeping assistance, since the government is now helping residents with loans for animal purchases.

===Index page===
Welcome Guests

"Menk" is an Agricultural Mutual Assistance Association. We have made very important progress over the past years, by helping residents of the Kashatagh region obtain animals, beehives and equipment necessary in order to provide a sustainable income for their families. One of our recent projects, called Apaga (meaning future) has been a purely charitable effort which Menk has undertaken using its own means. The Apaga project distributed over 1.3 million drams ($3,500) worth of assistance to villagers in the northern Kashatagh region. Our other projects involve finding outside investors to help finance beehives or animals which are given to families, who then slowly pay back the loan. When the loan is paid back, the investor has the option of taking the money back or reinvesting it with the same or a new family. Animals and hives are only given to families who can be trained by other members or experienced neighbors in the methods necessary to keep them healthy. This is necessary to protect the investment.

At the same time, Menk is facing issues related to return of some investments to their investors. We believe these issues can best be mitigated with additional investments and by shifting investments to other projects. Menk's investors agree with this approach.

We at Menk Agricultural Mutual Assistance Association believe that we can successfully implement our programs and increase our membership residing in the Kashatagh, but only with the financial assistance of those who are concerned with the fate of Kashatagh.

So we call on you to help Menk to help us in whatever capacity you can, even be it to simply join and pay your membership dues. Annual membership fees are currently set at 12,000 AMD ($30), which all members of our mutual assistance organization pay.

If you are interested in learning more about Menk and our programs, I am always ready to explain all of our projects and provide complete background and financial information on our work so far. I am also ready to show you our work in Kashatagh in person whenever you come to visit our region, and welcome your participation in our association.

Tigran Kyureghyan
President of Menk Agricultural Mutual Assistance Association

===Estafet===

Estafet is a Menk program, whereby a member receives something, and after a set amount of time they must transfer the same thing to a new member.

With the Estafet program we give cows and calfs to families. Two years later the recipient family must present their investor with their cow and it's newborn. If the recipient does so and has kept to the agreement, he can at this time request an extension of the contract. He can also purchase these animals from the investor outright, or transfer them to a new member to the program. All of the milk produce in the interim is the property of the family that is keeping the cow.

Estafet was Menk's very first program, and has been running successfully since 2002. It is slowly being phased out since the local government has begun a virtually identical animal loan program.

===Parz Estafet===

Barz Estafet is a program started in 2003. The recipient of a calf or pig has to transfer the same amount of goods they recieve to a new recipient after a set time period without adding anything in addition (like interest or additional animals). This program primarily gives familes a calf or pig, rather than the more expensive adult cows, in order to minimize the expense of the program.

===Voske Tslik===

Voske Tslik (or golden calf) is a program Menk began in 2003 and has been operating successsfully ever since. This program sees the purchase of male and female calfs by Menk. Menk then gives these calfs to their members to care for throughout the year. The caregivers are paid 2,000 dram ($5) a month per calf during grazing season for their care, plus an additional 2,000 dram in the winter for feed. In addition to this, the caregiver receives a 25% share of the profit from the sale of the cow or bull when Menk sells the animal.

===Kari Meghr===

Kari Meghr, meaning Honey from Stone, is a program that Menk has been successfully running since 2004. This program invests in the beekeepers of Kashatagh. In return for each beehive a family receives, they must give the investor 5kg of honey, or its equivalent cash value. Kari Meghr is Menk's most իրացվելի program, և միության ծախսերը կատարելու համար հիմնական աղբյուրը. "ՄԵՆՔ" միություն honey ծրագրի ընթացքն առ 01.01.2009.

World-Renowned Armenian Micro Sculptor Passes Away

April 17, 2012 | 14:59

YEREVAN. - Armenia's Honored Art Worker, great arts and craftsman,
and unrivaled master of miniature sculpting Eduard Ghazaryan died on
Monday at the age of 89, the Culture Ministry informs.

Ghazaryan displayed his first creations, which were invisible to naked
eye, in the capital Yerevan in 1947. And all through his long career,
he created around 1,000 unique micro sculptures.

Eduard Ghazaryan was also a talented musician and a master and
innovating violinist.

In 1983 alone, Ghazaryan's name was mentioned nine times in the
Russian Divo Book of Records.

The Americans who visited the great master's exhibition in Los Angeles
had called the event the "Eighth Wonder of the World."

Also, Ghazaryan had created a musical "automatic weapon" which did
not kill, but rather had around forty musical instruments of different
nations installed on it.

In 2006, the International Biographical Centre of Cambridge, England,
had declared Eduard Ghazaryan as one of the most brilliant people of
all time, and had awarded him with the "Living Legend" Gold Medal.

-In August of 1983, an exciting thing happened; a small group of young Armenians met to discuss the idea of creating a "new" Armenian organization. Before echoes of "oh no...another Armenian organization" could be heard, those involved determined that their new group would indeed be different. The envisioned organization was to progressively respond to the complicated carerr, educational, cultural, and social concerns of Armenians in America today.

The envisioned organization was to progressively respond to the complicated career, educational, cultural, and social concerns of Armenians in America today.
 As the idea developed, the concept of "networking" Armenians through a computer data base gradually emerged as the primary feature which would distinguish this new organization from other Armenian groups. The focus of this networking service, and of the organization itself, was to be the seemingly unlikely relationship between Armenian identity and career/professional development.
@@ Line 8: / Line 9: @@
 The originators of this "networking" organization had all previously been involved with the Armenian community and with other Armenian organizations. Based on their experiences, this gorup of dedicated individuals perceived Armenians in American society today as being torn between the desire to be an "Armenian", ie., enjoying and preserving their rich cultural heritage, and the pressures of everyday life in American society, ie., the desires felt by naturally industrious individuals to succeed, to seek higher education, professional status, career advancement and to develop as mature, accomplished individuals.
-The "Network" was envisioned as a means of reconciling these potentially conflicting desires. Through the use of a computer data base containing biographical information on Armenians from all walks of the professional, educational, cultural, and business worlds, this new group would institutionalize a formal means by which Armenians could achieve their personal goals in American society by seeking assistance from other Armenians. As a result individuals could accomplish professional or career goals while developing and strengthening the ties between members of the Armenian "community".

-To understand what the Network is really about, it may be helpful to think of it as an invisible thread running through the Armenian community, binding its members together in a close-knit, highly communciative and highly productive group. Alternatively, the Network can be seen as a greenhouse, providing the nurturing conditions which will allow Armenians as individuals, and as community as a whole, to reach their full potential in American society, while at the same time nourishing the rich cultural heritage which brings all Armenians together.

It was established in New York, New York in 1984.

		+	== History ==
		+
		+
		+	In August of 1983, an exciting thing happened; a small group of young Armenians met to discuss the idea of creating a "new" Armenian organization. Before echoes of "oh no...another Armenian organization" could be heard, those involved determined that their new group would indeed be different. The envisioned organization was to progressively respond to the complicated carerr, educational, cultural, and social concerns of Armenians in America today.
		+
		+	As the idea developed, the concept of "networking" Armenians through a computer data base gradually emerged as the primary feature which would distinguish this new organization from other Armenian groups. The focus of this networking service, and of the organization itself, was to be the seemingly unlikely relationship between Armenian identity and career/professional development.
		+
		+	The originators of this "networking" organization had all previously been involved with the Armenian community and with other Armenian organizations. Based on their experiences, this gorup of dedicated individuals perceived Armenians in American society today as being torn between the desire to be an "Armenian", ie., enjoying and preserving their rich cultural heritage, and the pressures of everyday life in American society, ie., the desires felt by naturally industrious individuals to succeed, to seek higher education, professional status, career advancement and to develop as mature, accomplished individuals.
		+
		+	The "Network" was envisioned as a means of reconciling these potentially conflicting desires. Through the use of a computer data base containing biographical information on Armenians from all walks of the professional, educational, cultural, and business worlds, this new group would institutionalize a formal means by which Armenians could achieve their personal goals in American society by seeking assistance from other Armenians. As a result individuals could accomplish professional or career goals while developing and strengthening the ties between members of the Armenian "community".
		+
		+	To understand what the Network is really about, it may be helpful to think of it as an invisible thread running through the Armenian community, binding its members together in a close-knit, highly communciative and highly productive group. Alternatively, the Network can be seen as a greenhouse, providing the nurturing conditions which will allow Armenians as individuals, and as community as a whole, to reach their full potential in American society, while at the same time nourishing the rich cultural heritage which brings all Armenians together.
