I join Ara to say that the weather is crazy up here in Yerevan, too. It was very warm during the weekend, however yesterday we had a mixture of snow and rain.
I have highlighted the word �up� because it has a totally different meaning in Armenia than it has in Indianapolis, IN. Here up means up the slop or up to the mountains. On the other hand, in Indiana where there is no such thing as a hill and I am not even talking about a mountain, up means up to the North. In that sense I will correct myself and leave the Indiana or US Mid-West map reading techniques and say �Down here in Yerevan�.

The presidential elections and the wave of demonstrations are almost burned down and in some sense literally. The Helsinki Human Rights Office in Vanadzor has been set on fire at night of March 15th and Dr. A. Sakunts, the head of the same office, has been arrested after he talked against the irregularities that took place during the presidential elections. As a conclusion I can say that the people of Armenia lost. I am not sure who would have been elected as a president if the elections were conducted fairly, however I can say that the rights of thousands of dead and alive people have been violated. Dead in the sense that names of many dead people appeared on the voting lists and they have� voted� for Mr. R. Kocharyan. Ara has logged about this in more details.

Probably many of our readers didn�t understand that what�s the relevance of �the hotdog picture�, posted by me few days ago, to this logs. I will elaborate on this and say that the colour of the water turned into red only after the hotdogs were boiled.
