What is Navasartian?

[clubbin714]

Hello my friends.

I was recently discussing Independence day with a business associate of mine when the topic of the Navasartian games was brought up. Apparently this is some sort of an Armenian Olympics held each year in Los Angeles. Does anyone know what it is like and what sports are available to participate in? Thanks in advance.

Navasartian is an annual event organized by Homenetmen (Hye Marmnagrtagan Entanoor Miootyoon or Armenian General Athletic Union)... it has 19 chaptes in the western united states region. and more chapters throughout the world. basically, the athletic teams practice throughout the year to show us what they've got during the Navasartian Games by competing against each other.
the sports include Basketball, volleyball, soccer, swimming, chess, tennis track n field and ping pong.
and since armos like kef and food, it's turned into a festival where every 4th of july the closing ceremonies of the games last 4 days, all kindsa armo singers entertain thousands of people, and booths of food and goodies make good money 8)
too bad you're a kinda late for this year.
the games open during the first week of May and the closing ceremonies' last day was sunday the 6th.
if you need more info lemme know :P

Excellent post jahannam. You have answered all my questions. I will start making preparations to compete in next years events immediately. I predict a first place finish for myself in chess and the 100m freestyle swimming events.

If there are any chapters in Orange County I would like to join them. sSsflamesSs I never knew you were so athletic. I figured you to be the type of women raising a family & spending your days in the kitchen.

Clubbin714, you couldn't be more wrong. Not only am I very athletic, but I am also very independent...meaning, no, I would not like to one day become a housewife. I have more of a career in mind (not to say that family is not at the top of my list). :P

oh god, jahannam will you just STOP. why did you have to throw in what chapter you like (whispers* ARARAT IS THE BEST ONE) its not like i would say which one is the best.

and hey clubbin if you are going to join any of the chapters join ararat, i guarantee you will have a lot more fun. it has triple the amount of people in any other chapter so you can meet a lot of people and its generally a lot funner. in basketball alone they have over 1000 athletes, some chapters barely have 100 athletes for all the sports
