This log should have appeared exactly one week ago… sorry!
I have just returned from Boston. Thanks to Arsineh, I had brunch at Aram’s dinner (I think that’s what it is called), a landmark.
I was in Boston for 2 days. I presented an info session on the Land and Culture Organization. I am not using the acronym LCO, since I have been getting e-mails about LCO means. The presentation was held at the ALMA (Armenian Library and Museum of America). This place is a must see if you are in the Boston area. The people were very friendly and the wealth of Armenian art and literature was amazing. I also visited NAASR (National Armenian ??? studies and Research).Although I only visited the front part of the store, I was impressed with the variety and the inventory of books they carried. If you are looking for any kind of book about Armenia and Armenians, give them a try!
This time, I decided to take the bus to the great ol’ US of A. Since I had driven to Detroit and flew to NY, I thought maybe I should give this means of transportation a try… to be honest, I enjoyed it. Although it was a bit long of a drive, I caught upon some of my reading and relaxed.
I just finished my second book about the early years of post-communist Armenia written by non-Armenian authors. The first one was called Between the Stillness and the Grove by Erika DeVasconcellos. It was a novel about Armenians during the 1992-93 blockade. The second book by Leonidis…, the first Ambassador of Greece to Armenia, was a recount of his activities in Armenia during his stay in 1992-93. Although it was a bit dry to read, he brings to our attention some compelling information like how Turkey was planning to attack Armenian in 1993, and how Ter-Bedrossian had to fly to Georgia and meet the President to have the delivery of wheat pass the Georgian borers. Shows you the seriousness of the matter when the Pres of 2 states have to intervene in these kind of details.
I’m now reading some Noam Chomsky. I will let you know about it soon.
Too bad I didn’t get to you Raffi M.
will write a new logabout some Armo events that took place in Montreal this week.
