Last week Lara and I drove to Ottawa to attend a book reading by th eformer ambassador of Greece to Armeniain 1993-94. Th ebook is called "Caucasus Chronicles: Nation-Building and Diplomacy in Armenia, 1993-1994". Leonidas T. Chrysanthopoulos, the author, is currently the ambassador of Greece to Canada. « "Caucasus Chronicles," which is being published by the Gomidas Institute, is a lively and candid account of events during his tenure. As the Soviet Union collapsed, Russia, the European Union, and the United States vied for the upper hand in the Caucasus. A bloody war between Azerbaijan and Armenian-populated Nagorno-Karabakh had become a focal point of that power struggle. Ambassador Chrysanthopoulos, who also represented the Presidency of the European Union, tells the inside story. Chrysanthopoulos's account conveys the adventurous--indeed perilous--aspects of life as an ambassador as well as the diplomatic and humanitarian relief work in which he was involved. » Vincent Lima.

I started squash again… boy am I rusty.
Yesterday we had a very nice dinner party for a newly formed couple. They are both very good friends of ours. We are happy that they have both met someone that they each deserve. We hadn’t had an evening like that since last May. (remember pregnancy, baby and so on !)
Being an aty home Dad sure is tiring. It’s fun too.
I heard from various sources that Ararad hit the city of Yerevan and the reviews are somewhat mixed. But that is to be expected from Atom. I will definitly make a point of seeing it during the New Film New Media Fest in Montreal on Oct. 20. Atom has also set up an exhibition at the Modern Art Museum. Still have to go and see it. I heard Arsinée and him were awarded the Armenian Nationality. I think that beats any kind of medalion.
I’ve been wondering about something, who actually reads the Diaspora logs. I mean I am trully interested in the repats log because of my desire to one day move there. But I want to know WHO reads US ?
Here is a bit of good news. I read that The gross domestic product (GDP) of Armenia has grown by 10.1% during the first eight months of this year.
En passant, je salut tous mes amis francophones. Je tenterai d’écrire un peu plus souvent en francais.
