Square One opens at Zvartnots Airport
I am happy to report that those of you who have to wait for a departure at Zvartnots airport can now sit in a rather nice place and have some hot food or drinks. The views, as you can see, are fantastic. The planes coming and going, as well as Mt. Ararat right in front of you.
I am quite proud of my old repat friends Sam and Stepan, who have turned Square One into an institution in Yerevan, which now has two branches, plus caters at the US Embassy and the AUA business center. While so many Diasporans will explain to you why they can't do business in Armenia, these young Diasporans have moved here and just done it. (not to discount those who have tried and been spit out by the system here)
So now if you're taking off at 5am and want a midnight snack, you can head to the airport early and take your time... and of course if your winter flight out is delayed for weeks by winter fog, you have a place to wait it out :-)

Nice location.
Finally!
I remember reading about these guys in the AGBU mag a few moons ago...SHNORHAVOR!!!
Wow this is really great, especially since the first/last thing foreign visitors experience during their visits to Armenia is Zvartnots.
I know the first thing that made a great impact on me during my first visit was the airport... I thought I had landed on the set of Star Wars.... Over the years I got used to that, but I still cringe at the thought of a foreign businessman
being served soorj in mismatched cup/saucers by a nene in tube socks, pabooj, and a vest. To us that may be "cute" or endearing but I'm not so sure other tourists would agree with us. This was necessary!!!
Shnoravor Sam and Stepan...hope to see you at my wedding. Ralph
