🇦🇲 Armenia launches one of the world’s most advanced AI data centers Armenia has officially joined the ranks of countries with their own artificial intelligence infrastructure. #EleveightAI has announced the launch of the #SouthCaucasus’ first AI Factory in the town of Gagarin, powered by #NVIDIA Blackwell B300 chips — one of the world’s most advanced architectures for generative AI. The project is now valued at up to $120 million for the first phase, significantly above the previously reported $70 million. The facility is designed to scale up to 35 MW of computing capacity and is considered supercomputing-class infrastructure. According to the company, Armenia has the potential to become a new global hub for #AI computing — an alternative location to the United States and Western #Europe. Among the advantages cited are lower energy costs, the availability of technical talent, and the region’s growing international connectivity. Eleveight AI CEO Arman Aleksanyan stated that the goal of the project is to transform Armenia from a consumer of AI into a country where AI is developed, trained, and deployed. The company is also considering future expansion into #CentralAsia'n and European markets. Twenty percent of the center’s computing capacity will be provided free of charge to Armenian universities, research institutions, and non-profit organizations. The project is already being described as part of a broader strategy to turn #Armenia into a regional technology and AI hub. As part of that strategy, another AI data center — developed by FireBird — is expected to launch in #Hrazdan, with planned investments of $500 million in the first phase and $4 billion in the second. NVIDIA Blackwell B300 chips are considered among the most advanced AI processors in the world and are designed for generative AI, supercomputing, and high-performance computing workloads. Access to such technology is subject to #US export-control regulations and is granted under strict licensing and compliance requirements. #IT #technology #MiddleEast #EU

🇦🇲🇦🇿Ilham #Aliyev refused to attend the informal #CIS summit in St. Petersburg. After watching this video, one can assume why the main promoter of #Armenophobia in #Azerbaijan chose to keep a low profile. #ArmenianHistory #ArmenianCulture #Armenia #Russia #SouthCaucasus #Urartu

🇦🇲🇷🇺🇦🇿“I recognized Nagorno-Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan after you had recognized it twice,” Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol #Pashinyan said to Russian President Vladimir Putin at the #Kremlin. The Armenian prime minister has voiced this idea multiple times in recent years, but this is the first time he has stated it directly to #Putin during the public part of a meeting. The point is that Russia acted as a guarantor/mediator/party in the November 9, 2020 trilateral statement. Moreover, Russia was an ally of #Armenia. Seven days after the signing of the statement and the freezing of the war, Putin made a statement recognizing #NagornoKarabakh as part of Azerbaijan. A few weeks later, he made a similar statement again. Taking into account #Russia’s status in the context of the conflict and its allied relations with Armenia, it became clear in Yerevan that Armenia had been left alone on the issue of #Artsakh. This, along with subsequent incursions by Azerbaijan into Armenia (and the lack of response from the #CSTO), forced Armenia to agree to the Prague Agreement of October 6, 2022. Under this agreement, Armenia effectively recognized Nagorno-Karabakh as part of #Azerbaijan. #SouthCaucasus #MiddleEast

🥁🇦🇲A video from the corporate party of #Armenia’s ruling party, #CivilContract, is gaining popularity online. This is largely due to the promotion of the image of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol #Pashinyan. He now plays the drum kit at quite a decent level. #SouthCaucasus #MiddleEast

The term "#Zangezur Corridor" contradicts the Washington agreements, said the Prime Minister of #Armenia. At the #SCO+ summit, #Pashinyan responded to the speech of Azerbaijani #dictator Ilham #Aliyev: "I want to inform our partners that, in particular, the vocabulary used by the President of #Azerbaijan is not perceived by us in the logic we agreed upon in Washington, especially since within the framework of these agreements the Republic of Armenia and the United States of America are implementing a communication investment program called 'Trump’s Path to International Peace and Prosperity'. This project stems from the '#Crossroads_of_Peace' project, the implementation of which is noted in the bilateral Armenian-American agreements", Pashinyan said. #USA #Trump #TRIPP
