Tabibito's South Caucasus Travelogue: Lake Sevan and Yerevan Be sure that the bus or marshrutka runs to the lakeshore near the churches and not just to the city of Sevan! Lake Sevan behind the churches with its mysterious blue water surface and the high mountain range in the background complete the beautiful setting. There we are - in the middle of nowhere, no street signs, no clue where the lake could be and something that looks like a small city on the left. www.tabibito.de /caucasus/etag7.html   (1370 words)

U.N. Oil-for-Food Figure Benon Sevan Flees U.S. Sevan returned to his family home in the city of Nicosia in early June, and though he insists he will return to New York, he has refused to give any date. Benon V. Sevan, former director of the scandal-plagued Oil-for-Food Program, has left his home in New York and is now in his native Cyprus, say U.N. officials. It was not clear why the Annan staffer took that course of action despite several letters released by Sevan that apparently committed the world body to assist in paying some legal expenses. www.newsmax.com /archives/articles/2005/7/6/100231.shtml   (1370 words)

Notes From Hairenik: Up in Vanadzor The name was changed back to Vanadzor after independence, although the city is mainly known as Kirovakan, and people from the city are referred to as “Kirovakantsi.” There are two ways to get there from Yerevan: by way of Aparan, which is shorter, or through Dilijan via Sevan.
