Re: Life in Armenia

Hi everyone, for those in Southern California, here is a great cause that doesn't cost you anything and can help someone in armenia by making the winter a little easier for them.

Re: Life in Armenia

Does anyone have any information on the One Armenia charity project. Its a new organization that started last year and aims to fund a project in Armenia every month. Its stated purpose is to supposedly provide an alternative to existing Armenian fundraisers by being extremely transparent. I am the head of a organization that has to a charity that a larger organization (All-ASA) will sponsor, and I have been asked to consider One Armenia.

A nice clip from the movie "Here" upon entering Yerevan - and great song in background!

Re: Life in Armenia

Can you shed some light on what you have in mind regarding him and Armenia?

Iharke. Sa karog e linel skal teg.

I know that the Azerbaijanis like him because of his experience with oil in the South Caucasus. But an interesting exchange took place during the committeehearing for his appointment:

Sen. Robert Menendez: "I don’t expect you to answer any differently than I have had previous nominees before this committee do, but I have to ask you whether or not you contest any of the facts what transpired in 1915 as it relates to 1.5 million Armenians who were brutally massacred and marched to their deaths in the waning days of the Ottoman Empire?”
Morningstar - “No, I do not.”

Later on, he promised that he would look into khachkar destruction in Jugha.

Ideally, the US wouldn't have an ambassador to Azerbaijan because that would limit their relationship. But Morningstar does sound that bad. Is US Armenian lobby trying as hard to block this guy as they did with Bryza?

Re: Life in Armenia

Like Mos, I personally dislike the uniform design. I think it's ugly especially if they are going to wear those pants with the weirdly-coloured/patterned top. But I loved the video, I hope the police they showed in the video are representative of the entire police force. When I was in Armenia last year, the police were friendly and helpful and on the road, we weren't asked for a bribe a single time. Much, much improvement in Armenia in this field. As for the PR in the video, I think it's great too! I loved their interactions with the Iranian-looking tourists )))

I like our Soviet police uniform better. It's more police like and kind of regal. If I was criminal I wouldn't take these police seriously by looking at uniform haha

Re: Life in Armenia

Wasn't sure which thread to put this question under, but it could affect life in Armenia:

Opinions on Richard Morningstar?

Can you shed some light on what you have in mind regarding him and Armenia?
