For many months already  the situation around Syria is among the headlines of all mass media around the  world. There is hardly a single news agency in the world that does not project  news about the violence in Syria. Indeed, the intensity of hostilities in Syria  has been growing steadily and lately reached such a point that even eclipsed  the international tensions around the Iranian nuclear program. In fact, the  tension around the Iranian nuclear program is steadily decreasing throughout  the last several months. Of course, it is not to say that it is forgotten or  ignored completely, but it definitely does not attract so much attention as it  did months ago. 

Education and  books have always been essential in every Armenian’s life. According to witnesses,  wherever possive, the survivors of Armenian Genocide would take with them  books, rather than other possessions. Thus they rescued hundreds of manuscripts  and with this, the Armenian script. It is not an accident that Arabs dubbed  Armenia a “land of books”, because when theyconquered Armenia, they saw  thousands of books, and witnessed the love of people towards these books.

This question disturbs Iran and especially its neighbors for several months already. The magnitude of the issue at some point even eclipsed the crackdown in Syria. Now, whether the attack on Iran is inevitable is a mater of harsh debate. If attacked, will Iran survive or not, is a matter of an even harsher debate. Indeed, given the fact that Iran is far more powerful than Libya or Iraq were before their ruling regimes were toppled, and that Iran apparently has been developing its military industrial complex ever since to counter such a scenario, it represents quite a "tough cookie." As a matter of fact, a far tougher one than it may seem from the first glance. Thus, it remains to be seen whether the situation deteriorates to the point of war.
