 US Embassy in Yerevan, characterized <mask> as being "regarded by outside observers - and many Armenians - as an unpolished, poorly educated and parochial figure, a crass nouveau riche whose brand of dirty-money politics, abuse of state "administrative resources", and cunning opportunism is in the worst tradition of recent Armenian politics", as "an oily, machine politician ... at the center of a purposeful effort to abuse agencies and offices of local government to arm-twist every vote he possibly can for the prime minister", the "chief operating officer of the dirtiest and most coercive tactics of Serzh Sargsian's presidential election campaign", and "an unsophisticated thug" whose "instincts are not progressive". Also in 2008, US Ambassador to Armenia Marie Yovanovitch described Abrahamian as a politician who uses his political power to promote his business interests.He has also been reported as owning more than two dozen companies, including three sand mines on the Araks river; 1,500 hectares of grape fields in Artashat; more than 10 gas stations outside Yerevan; one third of "Ararat Cement"; casinos; petrol stations; and a $7 million summer home in the Crimea.

Criminal Prosecution

After the change of power in Armenia - in which opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan became Prime Minister - a large-scale fight against corruption was announced. A number of criminal cases were initiated against many former top officials, including the former president Robert Kocharian and the late Prime Minister <mask> <mask>. At the end of August 2018, the late Prime Minister <mask> <mask>, his brother Henrik (who was arrested on August 8, 2008 on charges of illegal possession of

(a company which operates a sand pit in the village of Noramarg, Ararat region of Armenia) high-ranking officials demanded 60% of shares with registration of these shares given to two individuals in 2008.30% of the shares were registered in the name of <mask> <mask>'s brother Henrik (Jonik), who later sold his shares. At the same time, the Avazaatik company was involved in lawsuits initiated by the former head of Noramagh Sarkis Galstyan, who was seeking to terminate a contract between the Noramagha community and the company. This case involved five hectares of agricultural land within the administrative territory of the community. In 2012, the Avazaatik company was granted permission to develop a quarry in the Noramarg community. Henrik (Jonik) <mask> was arrested after a search of a former factory in the territory located in the village of Mkhchyan discovered a large number of weapons and ammunition, including 3 light machine guns, 7 machine guns AK-74, 2 SVD sniper rifles, 3 different types of rifles, 2 pistols and a large number of bullets of different caliber. This factory was de facto owned by the former Prime Minister <mask> <mask>, registered in the name of Ambik Gevorgyan, and was the framework in the case for dispersing demonstrations on March 1, 2008. In June 2019, the Special Investigative Service of Armenia reported that the preliminary investigation in the criminal case against <mask> <mask>, based on the sale of 15 land plots in Dilijan communities (land plots with an area of 15 thousand sq.m and 57 thousand sq.m on Babajanyan Street, and plots along Saralanja street with an area of 731, 761, 701 and 720 sq.m): Mkhchyan (land plots with an area of 8.9 hectares, 9.1 hectares, 8 hectares, 9 hectares, 5.6 hectares, 7.2 hectares and industrial territory with a total area of 4092 sq.m) and

Income

At the end of 2013, the total income for <mask> <mask> and his wife Juliet exceeded $6 million. Earlier, he declared the income was from the sale of agricultural products from 2011 to 2013 in the amount of 125 million AMD (about $290,000.00).

<mask> (February 12, 1923 – September 1, 2015) was an American public historian best known for his work as the Chief Historian of the United States Atomic Energy Commission. Biography
<mask> was born in Toledo, Ohio, in 1923. In 1941, he attended Dartmouth College, but after the attack on Pearl Harbor he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps doing work related to meteorology. With a number of other privates he attended Bowdoin College for a year, focusing on science. In June 1944, he did work relating to using radar to track weather balloons, and eventually the military sent him to Harvard University to study in the electronics school. In early 1945, he was sent to Western China as a radiosonde operator, sending meteorological information by radio to U.S. forces, which used them in planning bombing raids on Japan. After the war, <mask> attended graduate school in history at the University of Chicago, though he never completed his undergraduate degree.He received his master's degree in 1948 and his PhD in 1952, writing his thesis on Lewis Cass, a nineteenth-century Michigan politician. While he was completing his dissertation, <mask> accepted a position as an intelligence specialist in the United States Air Force, examining open literature on factories in the Soviet Union. Hewlett found the job tedious and in 1952 leaped at the chance to be a program analyst in the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), compiling classified progress reports from all of the many branches of the AEC for the Commissioners. <mask> later said that this job gave him a good general overview of the AEC and how it worked. In 1957, <mask> was contacted in order to find a historian to write an official history of the AEC, a pet project by Commissioner Lewis Strauss. Hewlett was unable to find any academic historians interested, however, in part because science and technology were generally not considered an interesting subject of historical

texts: study at the time. Because of his history backgrounds, <mask> himself was offered the job, which he happily accepted, and became the first official historian of the AEC.<mask> sought out another public historian, Kent Roberts <mask>, who was the Chief Historian of the United States Army. <mask> encouraged <mask> to establish an independent review board of academic historians who would serve as a buffer between <mask> and the government bureaucrats who would inevitably object to certain portrayals of past U.S. government activities. Though he faced some initial resistance to the establishment of the Atomic Energy Commission's Historical Advisory Committee, it was eventually approved by Strauss himself on the recommendation of one of Strauss's favorite academic historians. Part of <mask>'s work in writing the AEC history was acquiring historical AEC records before they were destroyed, encouraging local AEC agencies and branches to think about their records in a historical manner, and marking historical records for depositing at the National Archives. <mask> later recounted an incident in which he was called, as Chief Historian, to witness to opening of an old wartime filing cabinet found under a stairwell of an AEC building. After the locksmith had opened the cabinet, <mask> reached in and the first document he pulled out was a letter signed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The cabinet turned out to be the wartime correspondence files of Vannevar Bush and James B. Conant, and is currently considered one of the most important collections of documents relating to Manhattan Project history.After going over thousands of secret and formerly secret records, <mask> eventually produced his first volume of the official history, covering the time period of the Manhattan Project through the formation of the AEC. The New World, 1939-1946 was published in 1962, and was a runner-up for the 1963 Pulitzer Prize. <mask> continued his work

For both of these books, <mask> was awarded the Distinguished Employee Award by the AEC, the highest employee award given by the agency. According to a later interview with <mask>, he had difficulty in getting the final book cleared for publication by the United States Navy, because Admiral Hyman G. Rickover refused to allow it to be published unless <mask> agreed to write an official history of the Nuclear Navy as well. Though irritated at the misuse of security clearances, <mask> agreed and produced Nuclear Navy, 1946-1962 in 1974. Despite his initial irritation, <mask> enjoyed working on the project as he was given unfettered access to any related files on account of having Rickover's personal backing.After the AEC was dismantled in 1974, <mask> became the Chief Historian of its successor organization, the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA). When ERDA itself was dismantled in 1977, his position was transferred to its successor, the Department of Energy. When the Three Mile Island accident occurred in 1979, <mask> was asked to write a history of the event as it was unfolding. <mask> was by then hoping to retire, however, and two other historians were recommended for the job, Philip L. Cantelon and Robert C. Williams. After the success by Cantelon and Williams in contracting themselves to the DOE, <mask>, Cantelon, Williams, and Rodney P. Carlisle, then a visiting researcher at the DOE, together founded a private company devoted to writing commissioned official histories of government agencies, individuals, or private companies, named History Associates Incorporated and based in Rockville, Maryland. <mask> later said that only one time he attempted to be involved in AEC/DOE policymaking, writing up a history of the AEC's policies in handling nuclear

 waste, which he later said did not always portray the agency in a positive light. The document, completed in 1978, was essentially mothballed by the DOE and never followed up on.<mask> officially retired from government work in 1980 while he was still working on his third volume of AEC history. Because of institutional changes, <mask> had difficulty getting the work approved for public release. Finally published in 1989 as Atoms for Peace and War, 1953-1961, the book won the Richard W. Leopold Prize from the Organization of American Historians as the best book of the year on a U.S. federal government agency. He died September 1, 2015 at Maplewood Park Place, a senior living community in Bethesda, Maryland. <mask> is today recognized as one of the most influential federal historians in the United States, and was a founding member of both the Society for History in the Federal Government and the National Council on Public History.

<mask> (; 7 May 1981 – 24 March 2015) was a German contralto who performed internationally in opera and in concerts. Radner studied at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf, Germany. Both Stern magazine and Munich's Abendzeitung described her as an "extremely talented interpreter of Wagner's music". Possessing the "rare pitch of a true alto", she frequently appeared as Erda in Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen at the Leipzig Opera, Schwertleite in Die Walküre at the Teatro Comunale di Firenze with Zubin Mehta, and in Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (Resurrection) conducted by Antonio Pappano in Rome and Milan. Her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 2012 in Götterdämmerung was part of that company's documentary Wagner's Dream. Early life and education (1981–2000)
<mask> was born in Düsseldorf and had a brother, Bozidar, and a sister, Anna.Her father <mask> and his wife had immigrated from Austria and started a trading company. They were not particularly interested in music. During long drives to Austria, <mask> would sing for hours. At school she was a "rather unobtrusive, popular student" who enjoyed music lessons but found mathematics difficult. Her talent for singing remained unnoticed at school, but when she was 14, her parents introduced her to voice teacher Angelo Melzani, who told her, "I will get you into opera." As a teen she took part in the Rhenish Carnival and the Largest Fair on the Rhine (). Her father remembered her calling him excitedly after winning first prize in a beer-tent karaoke competition.She attended St. Ursula Gymnasium in Düsseldorf, finishing in 2000. Vocal education (2000–2008)
Radner pursued German studies for one semester, but left because she disliked it. She started training in an import–export business and had the best grades at the vocational school, but felt that it did not suit her. She applied to the Robert Schumann Hochschule

Radner's father obtained additional voice lessons for her with Jeannette Zarou in Düsseldorf, and later with mezzo-soprano Marga Schiml, both of whom are experts in early music and Lieder. They recognized that she was really a contralto.Radner's mother died in 2003 after a long illness. Almost a year later, Radner earned her diploma. In the 2006 Bundeswettbewerb Gesang Berlin, she won the €3,000 third prize in the concert category and a scholarship from the Richard Wagner Society in Bayreuth to attend the 2007 Bayreuth Festival. In the concert division of the 2007 Cantilena Singing Competition, she placed second out of 120 vocalists from 19 countries. In 2008 she played Cornelia in Handel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto at the Theater Hagen. It was to be her only engagement as an ensemble member at a theatre. She decided that it was "not her world", not because it was no fun, but because she wanted to earn more, and she went independent.Radner was still a student in 2008 when she made her first public appearance under Zubin Mehta at the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia in Valencia, singing Martin y Soler's oratorio Philitaei a Jonatha disperse. She gave a recital in June 2008. In August 2008 Radner performed the title role in Handel's Solomon at the Bregenzer Festspiele. Local newspapers praised her as "outshining" the other, more established British soloists (Vorarlberger Nachrichten, 19 August 2008) and as possessing the "rare pitch of a true alto, having an impressive charisma and great musicality" (Vorarlberger Neue Tageszeitung, 20 August 2008). In 2009 she performed in a new production of Parsifal under Lorin Maazel in Valencia and in Arthur Honegger's Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher under the direction of Antonio Pappano at

 life

Scottish mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill summarized "<mask>er, my beloved friend" in The Guardian: "She was the most generous-spirited person I have ever met. Hysterical laughter, an obsession with all things Burberry, unadulterated passion for Bayern Munich and the warmest of hugs were things you could always be guaranteed of when you were with her. Her son and partner were her whole life." Further down Cargill qualified the latter, in that "Music was <mask>'s entire life until she met her partner and they had their son." The authors of an article in the German weekly Stern echoed this sentiment when they wrote that "Radner was a happy mother. Radner had a side, that many internationally successful opera stars are not privy to: her own family." Stern described photos of her private life, published one week prior in Bild, showing the young woman embraced by her partner Sascha Schenk in the soccer stadium with a scarf of FC Bayern Munich, and him holding their infant son, who is sitting on a motorbike.Stern wrote that "privately Radner was able to simply be <mask>, the wife of insurance specialist Sascha S."

According to Opernnetz "Radner had moved with [Schenk] to Wuppertal-Kronenberg." Bild wrote "They lived in Mettmann. She was travelling a lot professionally, while he looked after his insurance clients in Wuppertal." <mask> and Schenk had one son, Felix, born on 12 September 2013. Death

Radner died on 24 March 2015, along with her husband Sascha Schenk, their 18-month-old son Felix, and her colleague Oleg Bryjak, when Germanwings Flight 9525 crashed near Prads-Haute-Bléone, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France. The First Officer had a history of depression, barricaded himself into the cockpit, and deliberately crashed the plane into the mountains.

<mask> (Rotterdam, 16 November 1926 - Paris, 31 May 1996) was a Dutch composer. He occasionally experimented with microtonality. Life and career
Taught by Henk Badings, Olivier Messiaen and others, and in his youth influenced by Béla Bartók, De Leeuw was a teacher at the University of Amsterdam and later professor of composition and electronic music at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam from 1959 to 1986, at which institute he served as director from 1971–73. For his notable students,

"When I was quite young I once accidentally tuned in on a radio broadcast from an Arabian station.

This manifested itself in his work for Western instruments by the occasional use of microtonality, as in his String Quartet No. 2 (1964), as well as in compositional plans;  Gending (1975) for Javanese gamelan is a rare foray into writing for non-western instruments.In 1956 <mask> <mask> was awarded the Prix Italia for his radiophonic oratorio Job. He wrote three operas, all to his own libretti, including a television opera Alceste (1963, after Euripides), the one-act De Droom ("the Dream", 1963), and finally Antigone (1989–1991, after Sophocles). In 2005 his 1964 book on twentieth-century music was published in English translation as Music of the Twentieth Century: A Study of Its Elements and Structure (Amsterdam: University Press, 1995), also in Swedish and German. Olivier Messiaen wrote about his later works: '<mask> <mask>w's music is essentially diatonic. He uses modes, melodic lines, counterpoints, chords, but it all remains diatonic. Hardly any discords. The colour white, or just a shade bluish, sometimes a golden light is added.Treatment of the 12 voices in his work about the “Cantique des Cantiques” [Song of Songs] also remains diatonic, both in his pianissimo and forte. His work on part of “l’Apocalypse” [The Book of Revelation] provides a new timbral element with staccato of the horn and the clarinet. Plainsong is introduced in his “Psaumes pour la Messe des Morts” [Psalms

There are even bunches of chords with the use of modes. But the spirit always remains diatonic in a static way that is very close to the type of oriental music which penetrates the listener and gets him into a semi-oneiric state, the state of a waking dream.' <mask> <mask>w wrote about 160 compositions, spanning the whole range from solo pieces to complete operas, but it is the vocal and, more specifically, the choral works which reveal most clearly what he was striving to obtain: a conjunction of the essence of past and present, a link between Eastern and Western thought, and the result was a unique purity of expression.

1994 Olympic champion Alexei Urmanov once praised <mask>'s skating skills by saying, "All his skating techniques are outstanding beyond all competitors and need no further improvement." Skating Skills
<mask>'s skating skills are described as skating which is ahead of the evolution of skating that many skaters have cultivated over the years. 2016 World Champion Eric Radford once described <mask> as the "Skater's skaters", whose skating technique is seen by athletes around the world as the standard of performance. He is considered by many as the "King of Skating Skills" with his high–level skating skills, which was considered as the training fruit of Osborne Colson, his first coach. 1992 Olympic champion Viktor Petrenko also said: "You can see why <mask>'s PCS is so high by counting the number of crossovers he makes during his performance, which is a clear indication that his components are at the highest level." <mask>'s high–altitude skating skills are very famous, along with the aesthetics of his programs. <mask>'s ability to control his movements on the ice is extremely smooth, and is often described as movements on the edges of the skate blade instead of the entire blade like the way of moving on ice commonly seen in other skaters.The ability to control speed on the ice allows <mask> to accelerate and gain momentum in a short time to achieve the speed needed, so that he can perform quads in short approach, while a lot other

texts: athletes often have to slide a longer distance around the rink to gain momentum when performing quads. In terms of harmony, <mask>'s programs are also often choreographed with good connection between the jumps. Another unique feature of his skating technique is the one–foot skating technique throughout half the length of the ice rink, and the ability to perform curvilinear movements with large and complex orbits. This masterful one–foot skating technique was demonstrated at the 2011 World Figure Skating Championships in Moscow, with a step sequence performed entirely on one foot and received +2 GOE from the ISU judging panel. <mask> has a signature with his unique skating style thanks to his soft knees, deep knee bends as well as the use on the edges of the blades to achieve his ideal skating speed. Since a young age, he has been appreciated for his smooth skating technique, large ice coverage and ability to engage in acting in competition as well as the artistry of the programs. He is also known for his highly choreographed programs, his skillful edges transitions with ideal deep edges, and highly flexible and complex step sequences.<mask> is thereby considered one of the pioneers of the modern era of men's figure skating with strong programs in both technique and artistry. Since the age of 15, <mask> has received a level 4 for the step sequence. His excellent steps and transitions are considered as a textbook for ISU judges. Speaking about <mask>'s skating technique, coach Marina Zoueva once said that: "<mask> is primarily a performer, not a jumper. He lives by movement on ice, which is probably why he returned to sports. Watching him skate is happiness for a coach". Commenting
