This morning, I am in bed half sleep and hear Nigol’s voice, Armenia is on CNN map!
Past week, two of our hotel customers were from UAE.
You might be living in UAE for 20 years, but you know it’s transitory stage, not your final destination. Yervand Says.
He’s a Hayasdantzi engineer, found a job five years ago; moved his family. He and his wife, Anna, work. Kids go to foreign school (where else?)
His boss is very happy with his work and every time they need another engineer he says, let’s hire someone from Hayasdan. Now they have more than half-a-dozen hayasdantzi engineers working in the company.
Price of land is escalating in some parts of Armenia. Armenians from Russia, Iran, Syria, UAE, North America are buying land and property.
Before, when I went back, they asked me about thieving Armenians and Mafia, now they’re asking about job opportunities. This from a Syrian-Armenian guy who moved in 1996 and has a store in Yerevan called ‘Everything for Sewing’.
Perceptions are changing.
Armenians are feeling restless, whether born in the Middle East, or in voluntary-compulsory-work-exile situation.
Yervand and a couple of his friends have purchased land in Armenia. His plan is to move back in four years’ time. If you want to start a business this is the time, after four years you might be too late. He held that opinion before the explosions targeting Christian foreigners in different Moslem countries. Now he is apprehensive.
Also last week, we gave complimentary rooms to a Lebanese crew preparing a TV documentary about Armenians. They have discovered interesting findings: More Armenian skeletons in the Syrian Desert; and a village near Syrian Turkish boarder, with Armenian inhabitants converted to Islam. In Armenia the crew filmed Dzidzernagapert and other places, and interviewed Lebanese Armenians who have moved to Armenia. Key questions were, Why did you leave Lebanon and moved to Armenia? Will you consider moving back to Lebanon?
I watched CNN the whole day, I saw Michael Jackson, Georgian and Iraqi news but no map of the region.
Once they decide, Armenians can find their way home.
CNN map, isn’t it for Americans to show where they have invested interest?
