Il suono dell’anima armena di Anush Naroyan L’Armenia è un paese antico: la sua cultura, così come le sue tradizioni, vantano una storia millenaria. Basterebbe evocare alcuni nomi: il monte Ararat, il lago Sevan… Già presente sulla mappa babilonese del V secolo a.C., il nome “Arminia” è menzionato per la prima volta dal re persiano Dario I (522 –…

África, un continente de gran extensión (30.272 922 km² aprox.) y cuyos pueblos –que consta, en la actualidad, de 54 naciones – ha tenido una historia digamos sombría, desde el punto de…
