I've finally had it with Super System--the cable provider. For a month they didn't have English language programs--well, sorry, they had the programs but none of the English sound came out. My guess is someone forgot to pay the bill, but who am I to know these things... Super System aint' so super if you ask me...they've just got the market cornered.

I'm trying to figure out why they're showing the Armenian-Turkish border constantly on TV this morning--my damned Super System is not functioning again and I have no sound for some reason.

Wait a minute...I didn't even look at the logs before posting, is the border really open? I have to get myself together, and get out there and figure out what's up.

Leave it up to the Turks to open the border on a Saturday--the only day we have for rest. They couldn't have done it on a Monday or Tuesday, no, a Saturday it had to be.

I googled just now and apparently Myrthe (of the expat logs) has heard the same thing...Very strange...

we'll see... Good saturday to you all as well.

Unbelievable, huh? Seeing the Turkish flag flapping past the Armenian one? I'm heading out now, I really want to make it to Turkey on the first day the border is open...

btw - I also am quite annoyed by the sound problems on SuperSystem - though it's only affecting a few (naturally my favorite) channels for me.

Can this be a April 1 joke. cause i remember some years ago when i was in armenia, the tv had done a april 1 joke on people about the president ltp and i remember everyone believing it, which turned out to be a joke and a head or two were rolled.

Hold on. After a massive rejoice in my house we realised this is April Fools day - and frankly the Turkish border being opened seems like something so absolutely impossible that I think this is you guys playing one on us lol
