    What's truly incredible and tangentially related with Russo-Armenian relations that at the very end of the forum at the end of the Q & A session a robust woman with an Eastern European accent asks the panel if Russia is not weak because it has sent Armenians to speak on its behalf to which the panel was left pretty much speechless and in disbelief over the woman's expressed racism.

    Between childhood, boyhood,
    adolescence
    & manhood (maturity) there
    should be sharp lines drawn w/
    Tests, deaths, feats, rites
    stories, songs & judgements
