Russia’s Putin most powerful man in the world: Forbes

November 4, 2015 By administrator

9465eaff-eccb-4eed-bcef-d6d3e41e806fRussian President Vladimir Putin has been chosen as the world’s most powerful person for the third time in a row by Forbes magazine.

Putin bested US President Barack Obama, who came in third place after German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the most powerful woman in the world, said the American magazine’s seventh annual list of the world’s most powerful people published on Wednesday.

“Putin continues to prove he’s one of the few men in the world powerful enough to do what he wants,” the magazine said.

According to the article, Putin’s domestic approval rating rose to 89 percent, the highest level over the last six years.

Obama became the first incumbent US president not listed in the top two rankings. “As Obama enters the final year of his presidency, it’s clear his influence is shrinking, and it’s a bigger struggle than ever to get things done,” Forbes said.

Out of the 73 people on the 2015 list, Pope Francis was fourth and Chinese President Xi Jinping came in fifth, a two-stage drop from last year.

To compile the list, Forbes took into consideration the candidates’ financial resources, their power in multiple spheres over a large number of people, and if they actively used their power.

Armenia best country for business in CIS: Forbes

December 18, 2014 By administrator

186346Armenia was ranked 56th in Forbes’ new Best Countries for Business – 2014 list, leaving behind its CIS neighbors – Azerbaijan was placed 60th, Russia 91st, Moldova 75th, Ukraine 88th, Kyrgyzstan 101st.

Among the regional states, Georgia took the 47th spot, Turkey – 50th, Iran – 132nd.

According to Forbes, Armenia has improved its position in the “monetary freedom” and “tax burden” criteria.

The neighboring Azerbaijan is estimated to have worsened its position in the “personal freedoms” criteria. “Azerbaijan has had a limited progress only in the market-oriented economic reforms. Corruption in the private sector and structural economic weaknesses remain an obstacle to growth, especially in the non-energy sector,” Forbes said.

United States was placed 18th in the ranking, with Denmark named the best country for business in 2014, followed by Hong Kong and New Zealand.

Forbes names Armenian Genocide Museum must-see place

May 21, 2014 By administrator

May 21, 2014 – 15:48 AMT

179098Forbes magazine has included the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute (AGMI) in the list of 9 must-see memorial museums of the world.

The AGMI opened in 1995, concurrently commemorating the eightieth anniversary of this crime against humanity perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire.

The two-storey construction is built directly into the side of a hill so as not to detract from the imposing presence of the Genocide Monument nearby. The first floor of the Museum is subterranean and houses the administrative, engineering and technical maintenance offices as well as Komitas Hall, which seats 170 people. It also hosts the storage rooms for museum artifacts and scientific objects, as well as a library and a reading hall. The Museum exhibit is located on the second floor in a space just over 1000 square meters.

As AGMI director Hayk Demoyan said earlier this year, the opening of the new premises will take place in April 2015. “We will expand the territory and introduce new designer solutions and technologies applied in the best museums of the world,” he said.

The Forbes list also includes the Holocaust History Museum (Yad Vashem) in Jerusalem, Museum of Maritime Disasters in Crimea, Ukrainian National Chornobyl Museum in Kyiv, Gulag History Museum in Moscow, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Titanic Belfast Museum, Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, as well as the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York.
