The biggest Armenian news of the day is that the European Parliament is, again, pressuring Turkey to recognize the Armenian Genocide and to open up the border.
More great news ... famous Armenian composer Tigran Mansurian has been nominated for a Grammy in the "Best Classical Contemporary Composition" category.
In my last log, I mentioned how there were many big investments being made in Armenia. This was one reason why I wanted to move here, and to witness the reconstruction of a new Armenia. Not only in the reconstruction of commercial and residential buildings, but also in the battle to overcome the fall of the Soviet era: to restart and modernize the entire country's infrastructure, including resuming the work of old factories and to build new factories manufacturing or assembling product; the education of religion, as well as a greater focus on the education of English, and of course, the Armenian languages; the positive and negative aspects of seeing Armenians having freedom to do and see just about everything in this chaotic world.
Corruption, as well as shady neighbours, will always be our biggest problems, but there is also so much good happening right now that we can not overlook.
I just read on Groong that the Slovaks were funding the launch of a chemical plant in Vanadzor. There was a time when Vanadzor was the center of manufacturing plants in Armenia. Take a drive through the outskirts of Vanadzor and you can just imagine how much work there once was in this city.
Next, there is the humongous investment the Germans will be making at the molybdenum and copper plant in Zangezur (Syunik region.)
The Russians are building numerous condos and business centers in Yerevan, and the construction of the Iran/Armenia gas pipeline has finally started. These are only a few of the many big projects taking place in our beautiful country.
The OSCE is planning on sponsoring (although the funds don't yet exist) a Western-style police force in Armenia. Well, it's about time someone starts focussing on this annoying problem. I've always said, this country can make a huge load of moolah if our police did their job. Add to it a simple law enforcing fines for littering, and see how much money this country will make, and how much cleaner it will become. I make solutions seem so simple, don't I.
I'm still receiving some clothing, other goodies and money from people who want to help the family I wrote about a while ago. I want to thank you guys. This will definitely be a treat for the family's New Year/Christmas holiday. :-)
