This may be stupid question, but as foreigner I am curious. What happened to flats, houses of people who fled from Artsakh after Azerbaijan takeover? Did Azeris in essence "nationalize" it? Did they distributed it for free to their own population?

Due to how Azeris are, I don't expect them to give anything to Armenian refugees as counter value for their property, neither I expect that they leave the flats or houses vacant. Has Armenian or any other government helped said refugees or not settling in the Armenia?

Thanks

45,000 taxi drivers are generating receipts and paying taxes now, after a new law went into effect in September

45,000 taxi drivers are using centralized platforms that calculate and generate receipts for them.

110 individuals, not using centralized platforms and not working for any company, have registered and are using the government's tax app to insert the fare manually after each ride. They have generated 3,000 digital receipts worth ֏3M since September.

Some individual drivers are not as savvy with phone apps so they want a more simplified approach: send me a bill, I go to the bank and pay it, and I receive the right to drive a full month [without further payments].

GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL: This has been a successful project so far. 45,000 people, who were completely "invisible" to the tax agency in the past, are currently registered through platforms and will pay taxes for the rides totaling ֏12B so far.

Turkey wants a trade route through Armenia as an alternative to Georgia-Azerbaijan link

The minister of infrastructure of Turkey said the route through Armenia is an "alternative" version of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, and that it will increase the cargo capacity.

He said the new link will pass through Caspian, Azerbaijan, Armenia or Iran, then Nakhijevan and Turkey.

He said whether it will pass through Armenia or Iran depends on Azerbaijan's negotiations. "In the case of Iran, there was a lot of progress in the beginning. There is development on the Armenian side as well. It will become clear in the near future. [Turkey wants to] connect to Azerbaijan and the Turkic world through the shortest route."

On the other hand, Georgia would see a 10% economic decline in the first year, or in the worst-case scenario - 18%. This would lead to an economic collapse. //

Kadyrov's foe survives an assassination attempt in Moscow, days after Kadyrov revealed an alleged plot to assassinate him after a dispute that began with the attempted takeover of a large Russian business

Context in October 10 news.

Several shots were fired at Sherip Alikhadzhiev yesterday. He was hospitalized and survived.

He was an ally of Ramzan Kadyrov's late father Ahmad Kadyrov, and a former government official in Chechnya. After Ahmad's death, he became a government official in the neighboring republic of Ingushetia, while the new president of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, called him a "criminal".

It is unclear whether the assassination attempt was related to the recent surge in inter-ethnic tensions between the Chechen and Ingush peoples, who have a long history of feuding, following a failed Chechen-led raid on the Moscow headquarters of Russia’s biggest online retailer Wildberries, in which two Ingush security guards were killed

A 300-year-old gravestone commemorating a woman who was mauled to death by a tiger has been restored.

Hannah Twynnoy was living in Malmesbury in the 18th Century when the animal, thought to have been part of a travelling menagerie housed in a pub yard, escaped and attacked her.

Her gruesome death, aged just 33, has attracted visitors to her grave in the grounds of Malmesbury Abbey ever since.

The inscription on her headstone had become so illegible that, prompted by a local campaign, masonry restorers were brought in to spruce it up.

Hannah Twynnoy was working as a servant in the White Lion Inn when she died on 23 October 1703.

Believed to be the first person to be killed by a tiger in England, the exact nature of her death is unknown as nothing was written about it until about 100 years later.

However, according to local history, the pub accommodated wild beasts for exhibition, one of which was a tiger.

Despite being told regularly not to tease the animals, it is believed that Hannah taunted the tiger, which lunged at her, pulled its fixing from the wall and "tore her to pieces".

I'm hyped for this fight, and have seen a few other comments wanting a prediction thread so here we go?

The overwhelming opinion is that this is a 50/50 fight, but some people feel strongly one way or the other. If this fight is lopsided, there will be a Hall of Shame. Copy-pasting format...

Predictions should be in the following format:

  • Beterbiev KO 1

Then leave one line empty before typing your essay about the meaning of life. If you just add your prediction in a wall of text, I'm not going to include it in Sunday's follow up.

Good luck. And remember, your prediction could get mocked. Love you all.
