FINALLY I have found the best pizza in Armenia.
Tifosi is a new restaurant on Teryan Street, just north of Sayat Nova. It's actually a sports restaurant (meaning they have televisions showing sports, mostly soccer) with a decent menu, including pizzas, and quite a variety of North American snacks: mozzarella sticks, wings, and much more. I only tried the pizza, which was pretty good (other than the last bite which had a hair in it ... but then again, that's my luck ... I'm sure most of you know my Pizza Di Roma story.) The waiter was decent enough to apologize when I told him about it, unlike the "dmbo" at Pizza Di Roma.
A few days ago the ARF invited a group of Syrian Bedouins, whose grandfathers saved many Armenians who had arrived in Syria due to the deportations of the 1915 Genocide. It was a great gesture to show the local Armenians, and of course people abroad, how Muslims are also on our side with this issue. They visited and laid flowers at the Genocide Memorial yesterday. They mentioned that tens of thousands of Armenians came into Syria, and were rescued by the courageous Bedouins. A lot of Armenians intermarried with local Arabs, but the Bedouins mentioned that Christianity was always respected, and that the Armenians were never forced to convert to Islam.
Now listen to this ... Turkey allows flights from Syria to fly over "their" country to get to Armenia. The flight the Bedouins were on was banned to fly over Turkey. The Turks claimed that they were having technical problems. What technical problems?
Rumours are that the Philip Kirkorov concert has been canceled. I'm not sure if this news is true, but I found one really positive thing out of this whole mess ... Armenians here showed a great deal of patriotism with this guy's stupid mistakes.
