I am quite impressed with Aravot Newspaper who printed the article this morning about the event at Pablavok, the one Raffi mentioned. Being a regular at Pablavok, I was there that night. I am still quite shocked and hurt and bewildered by the entire experience.

We were having an amazing time. Charles Aznavour was there with our President Robert Kocharian. Constantine Orbelian, Jivan Gasparian, Nune Yesayan and so many others. I was sitting with my friend Arthur and we were enjoying all the musical talent. Nune sang while Jivan played, Orbelian played a beautiful piece etc. etc. etc.

Then I hear someone screaming. It was a British man screaming "Animals, you are a bunch of animals", "What kind of a country is this?". The jazz bar turned upside down and we started to leave. On our way out we heard a man had been found dead in the bathroom which security had dragged him into for greeting the President in an informal manner. Although we did not see it, we could hear everything going on and the tables surrounding the incident were filled with Diasporan Armenians who I believe saw everything.

Raffi is right, at first it was announced as heart failure on the television stations. It is very sad. Everyone is very angered and worried. They are dissapointed and want answers. I am quite angered and upset myself. I cannot believe what happened, and I will never forget it. It has not left my mind since the incident. Again, l ask for your good energy to be with Boghos Boghosian, the deceased.
