'Will I ever get married?' – Azerbaijan's Covid-19 wedding ban
Azerbaijan has banned public events, including weddings, starting March 14, 2020.
Weddings have already been banned in the past 10 months. Now, many couples have no choice but to wait for the day when they can get married.
Schools reopen in Azerbaijan, but not for everyone
Full-time, in-person education in schools will resume in Azerbaijan on February 1.
So far, this will only apply to primary school students. But what about high school and university students? Can university students hope for lower tuition fees?

Why Azerbaijan is Unfit to Rule over the Armenians of Artsakh
Corrupt, sadistic, and run by a hereditary dictatorship, Azerbaijan is unfit to rule over others, least of all the Armenian Christians of Artsakh.
Yet that iniquity could materialize due to the recent 44-day war by Azerbaijan, Turkey, and terrorist
Hatis Back: Armenian basketball team mark comeback with a Euro League win
In round two of the women’s basketball European League on Thursday, the Yerevan club Hatis beat Chevakata (Vologda, Russia) 103-99. This was the event Armenian basketball fans have waited for – for nearly 20 years.
Attending the game in a packed Mika hall, veteran basketball fans must have remembered full crowds that Soviet-era Hatis, then based in Abovyan, would attract.
That legendary team included players not only from Armenia, but also from Russia and Ukraine. In 1989 Haits won the USSR Cup and that success in basketball was equal to Ararat’s victories in Soviet soccer competitions.
Hatis, brought to life again out of non-existence this year, started off ambitiously, with its players and Georgian-Armenian coach not concealing their desire to score victories rather than just take part in international games.
They view progressing to the playoff stage of the Euro League as the minimum task for this season.
Active efforts to recruit players had been made for several months, resulting in a team that besides a few Armenian players also includes players from Serbia, Croatia, Georgia, Ukraine and even the United States and Jamaica. At the helm of Hatis is a Georgian-Armenian, Gia (Georgiy) Ghazanchian.
Specialists say that the financial crisis may have helped Hatis and the Armenian domestic championship to look more attractive for players from other European leagues. Some basketball teams in Europe have been disbanded over the past year because of financial difficulties caused by the global recession. An invitation to play in Armenia became a life-line and an opportunity to participate in a European club tournament for many of the recruited players.
ARMENIA: PREPARING FOR TURKISH TRADE
As Turkey and Armenia ponder ratification of a pact that would reopen their mutual border, Armenian customs officials are preparing for an influx of Turkish goods.
Thee chairman of the Armenian parliament’s Committee for National Revenues, Armen Alaverdian, said during a legislative session November 5 that customs checkpoints are preparing to handle goods exported from Turkey, the Kavkazsky Uzel news website reported on November 5.
Current trade turnover between Turkey and Armenia amounts to some $100 million, according to data from the Armenian-Turkish Business Development Council.
Given the lack of direct trade routes, goods must travel via Georgia or Iran. Armenian economic analysts said the reopening of the Armenian-Turkish border could generate as much as an additional $500 million in revenue for Armenia’s treasury, Kavkazsky Uzel reported.

Sport: Armenia soccer youths in mature play against Estonia, Ireland
A Danish coach’s Armenia provided a surprisingly positive finish to an otherwise failed soccer season as they battled bravely and successfully against visiting Estonia and Ireland.
Flemming Serritslev’s Under-21 charges were a whisker away from scoring a deserved victory over Estonian coevals in the Saturday game at Republican Stadium, but after scoring once and missing a lot of good chances to materialize their advantage on the pitch they conceded a goal in stoppage time and had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Armenia’s junior team looked mighty three days later against Ireland. In that game, Serritslev’s youngsters scored their first victory in the current campaign 4-1, with Henrik Mkhitaryan managing a hat-trick.
Thus, with four points (in six games) Armenia has managed to unseat Ireland from the fifth spot in the six-nation qualifying group that also includes Switzerland, Turkey and Georgia.
Armeniaa next travel to Ireland for the second leg in early March.
Meanwhile, European soccer’s governing body, UEFA, has announced the composition of six pools of nations for the Euro-2012 qualifying stage draw that will take place on February 7 to form nine qualifying groups. Armenia is in the fifth pool, along with Montenegro, Albania, Estonia, Georgia, Moldova, Iceland, Kazakhstan and Lichtenstein. Azerbaijan is put in the last sixth pool.
