PRO-ARMENIA

Well, February is gone and March is coming in. March is the month of the Re-Starting activities. Primary, Secondary and University are starting next week and it brings a big movement to the whole city, even more to our community.
It is a pity that we don´t have any logger from France. An important conference took place there, called PRO ARMENIA and it was the second time this kind of event was organized. The first time was a long time ago (1900) and Kristapor Mikaelian was the one who organized it. The aim was the same of this new one: to join lots of politicians, thinkers, media people and well-known professionals from lots many countries to support the Armenia in many terms. Its like to make say those people "Watch out! I am important and i like the armenians too".
I was always complaining about the Ararat Film, because i did not have the possibility to watch it yet. But a nice news broke my complains. This 24th April Ararat Movie will be launched in all cinemas of Buenos Aires. Will armenians from Argentina only visit a cinema for this day??? Sure they will!!! What´s more, lots of armenians that are "scared" because of our community would prefer to visit a cinema to create a re-encounter with the armenian feelings.
About Argentina, we are having elections on the same week of the 24 April i suppose. The economy is getting quiet but the social movements are growing up. Some stadistics said that 60% of the country is under the line of poverty. Maybe Kotcharian would win here, we dont thing that Valotage would happen here. We feel very UNspirited to vote, argentineans at this time do not trust any candidate but themselves (anarchy?).

Changing the topic, one of my best friends and armenian dance professor married last saturday. When i went to buy him the present some days before the man who attend me and gave me the list to choose the present said something interesting. "You know -he said- it has been a long time since two armenians marry. I see them always marrying non-armenians." Truth is truth i said, and there is no problem about it. But it is the way we live in a diaspora. We, armenians, belong to a same root but we live in different countries. That means that we belong to different mixes of culture. I think the armenian loves more the country he is living that the one who is native from that land. An Argentinahay feels more argentina that an argentina.
I probably think that the armenian respects a lot the land that gives him work, pagan shadows of our nation...
