Re: The 100th Anniversary - and Events to Mark it
I remember his first appearance on the scene in London during the days of the independence euphoria.
He was also very motivational personality, in the patriotic sense.
London embassy was the first Armenian embassy post soviet collapse and independence which also contributed to that euphoria.
We also found out ( proudly) that he is an astrophysicist.
Star gazer to you and me.
Some habits die hard.
PS.
I wish we understood that personal friendship gets you nowhere in politics beyond a polite hello and a smile.
The British or any mature and professional government do not give any value to an individual friendship.
Their whole political infrastructure, civil servants, pursues its national interests.
The politicians are the articulators of those policies not the decision makers but the executioners.
If the political establishment find themselves in a contradictory situation like in this case they will push forward the Royalty, Church leaders or any other entity of protocol to create excitement like “ isn’t it exciting that Prince Charles attended church with our President. “ or " we got couple of paragraphs in so and so paper ..."
Please give me some space I am going to puke.
