BLACK CHRISTMAS IN ARGENTINA

State of siege, plundered supermarkets, social chaos and more...


How can i begin??? I´ve telling about the agony of our economy...well...its dead!!! On December 19th the Argentinean population got tired, stood up and went to tell the government to leave. The low and part of the middle class went to plunder supermarkets. The police started a brutal suppression against the claimers. Lots of thieves took advantage of those who were just plundering for food. They stole not only the basic food to eat but wine, champagne, electric equipments, etc. At night all Argentineans were waiting for the speech of our (I think EX)-president Fernando De la Rua. At 10 p.m. he talked "via TV" to the crowd. The speech was awful, unfriendly, ambiguous. In conclusion, a SHAME!!! He is playing dumb because his blind eyes are not seeing the hunger of the people. This vicious circle that is poverty is the principal illness of Argentina. But the cure could be the politicians that , pity for us, are CORRUPT!
The Economy Minister wanted to leave the country (Domingo Cavallo, his wife is armenian SONIA ABRAZIAN) but he couldn´t. The Argentineans want De la Rua to leave his charge as a president but they don´t want a replace for the same. The change must be radical, mainly the economic aspect. Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Río Negro and many provinces more are in total chaos. 16 persons have died because the suppression of the Police and the Security Army. (Red Christmas). Now the PLAZA DE MAYO (the main park near the government building) is being filled up of claimers that want a peaceful change of the policy of this country.
We were used to feel December as a "happy and joyful" month but these days we feel that we are like in Afghanistan. My father told me "Half part of my life I´ve been living in State of Siege", so I realized that we didn´t learn about our mistakes.


On the other hand, I feel great about what Eurnekian would do whit the Zvartnots Airport. Aram Yanekian (Drtad Takavor!!!) sent me an e-mail of armenpress telling about Eurnekian and the buy of the Armenian Airport. So a Diasporan will buy the Armenian Airport!!! That´s great!!!. He is the boss of the Argentinean airports and i can confirm the airports in Argentina have improved a lot during the current year. I hate the Zvartnots airport, its a close box, full of cigarette smoke and it has no technology. I think the airport must be one of the most important places of a country. Why? Because when you travel the airport becomes the first and the last impression of that country.
Well, Armenians and Argentineans will be "NEARER" now and maybe argentino-armos could be able to escape easier to Yerevan if the Social Chaos in Argentina keeps on going.
