Herbert Maurer, writer and interpreter from Austria, paid a visit to Armenia. He was in a group with Austrian jazzmen Christoff Chezh, Peter Herbert and Fabian Rucker, whose visit to Armenia was supported by the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A few days ago it was announced that an agreement was reached between the RA government and GeoTeam company (and Lidian International, 100% shareholder of the company) to place a stack washing and refining cauldron in Amulsar.
