What a sad day this is for the repat community in Yerevan.
The day started out quite nicely. I met up with Lena M and we had planned a full day with Raffi K and others. I was having dinner at Mer Kyugh Restaurant with some friends when one of them told me that Patrick (a friend I was planning to see in a few days) had passed away. This guy (French/Argentinean) was one of the first repats to have been living in Armenia since 10 years. He’d worked on LCO at Saghmossavank and then gotten jobs with the UN and other NGOs over the years. He was well respected and loved. He spoke Armenian, French, Spanish and English… what a great loss for Armenia and mostly to his friends here.
As I write this I still can’t hold back my tears… he was 37 years old.
Today Yerevan is gray…
Adieu Patrick . Tu va nous manquer!
