Of Kurdish descent, there is a sizeable community of Yezidis in Armenia, and a smaller one in Georgia. On his Oneworld Blog, Onnik provides interviews, photos, and background information on the problems facing the minority in both Caucasian countries. Among a set of new contributors on Blogrel is Observer, who in his latest post discusses new data by the World Economic Forum on Economic Competitiveness in the Armenian context. Ara on Martini or Bust!!! has some questions about the recent death of a political activist - whereas the authorities give a ‘broken hip’ as the reason. Kyrgyzstan: PC blogger Trent Milam has a list with things the Kyrgyz people love, among them Mike Tyson, the donkey from Shrek, and everything ‘Useful for the Health’. Ceilingfan, an Englishman travelling in Kyrgyzstan, has an amusing post on how not to ride on a Bishkek marshrutka, a local minibus. A recent New York Times article about a giant swastika near Naryn made of trees prompted Ennis on Sepia Mutiny to argue that it might not be a piece of forestry by German POWs but ’stranded Buddhist time travellers who were trying to signal their spacecraft’. On neweurasia, Yulia posts about lie detectors to clean up Kyrgyz bureaucracy and a new incident on Bishkek’s airport involving an American aircraft, whereas Ben posted some photos of a recent trip to Sary-Moghul, a village in Kyrgyzstan’s remote Alay-valley. Mirsulzhan Namazaliev, youth activist from Bishkek, has recently started his English blog, besides his Russian Livejournal.
