A short introduction
Parev polorin,
Raffi K. was kind enough to add me as the new Montreal voice of the cilicia blogs, so I believe some introductions are in order.
Ooremn, my name is Vrouyr. I was born in Haleb in 1986 (which makes me 19), and have been a Montrealer since 1991. I attended Alex Manoogian varjaran until Sec. 2, and then went to a private French high school. I did Law and Society at Vanier College (for those of you who know how our Québécois CEGEP system works), and just finished my first year of Law school at McGill University.
I am rather active in the Armenian community, being involved in scouting since forever. I am currently a cub scout leader at the A.G.B.U., and a member of the A.G.B.U. Venturers who are organizing a working visit to Armenia in July (you can expect much more details about that soon). Incidentally, Raffi N. from the repat blog was my former cub leader, and just like I have followed into his footsteps to become a cub leader myself, I shall follow into his footsteps all the way to Armenia too!
Adgé zad, I am a member of the Garni Dance Ensemble in Montreal (if you will pardon the shameless promotion: www.garnidance.com), and am enjoying every moment of it.
To give you a glimpse of what you can expect from my blogs..
I will be in Armenia from July 8 to August 26, first in Kotayk (with the AGBU venturers), and then at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where I will be interning. So I guess I'll be starting off my blogging career with a bang.
Some of the issues I am rather obsessed with, and with which I will most likely "artoogel" your "klookhs":
- The quality of schools/agoomps in the diaspora, and general criticisms of our community's leadership
- Armenian music and dance
- Human rights and democracy in Armenia (this is the topic around which I would like to center my career)
I can be too honest in my critcisms at times, but am generally an optimist, with a deep belief that we, as a nation, can't go anywhere else but up. My criticisms, therefore, are meant to be constructive, and I try to accompany them with possible solutions.
Himagoo hima ayschap,
Pari getsek!
