Song and Dance
Everywhere I went yesterday, it seemed that everyone and everything was in musical motion.
We are now in the middle of buying property. The song and dance was between the buyer (me), seller (she) and the NOTARY!!!! (SHE deserves a log of her own)
At night, we were invited to a dance performance by Armenia's BEST. It was an American jazz night with Billie Holliday and Louis Armstrong - EXCELLENT show at the Stanislavski Theatre on Abovyan str.
on our walk back home from the theatre, a group of young girls were rehearsing their act for Friday's event celebrating Yerevan-Erebouni anniversary. Behind them, the infamous fountains were dancing on Chares Aznavour's music.
On my way up the steps to our apartment, a friend called asking if we would like to go dancing at a club for another friend's birthday. I reluctantly had to turn him down.
Finally, in front of the TV, I witnessed the song and dance the American Government Leaders were doing regarding the Genocide Resolution. I was shocked that Rice, Gates and even the big guy, Bush were TWISTING the reality of the issue (not once did they mention that this is not a historic fact or that the issue is not based on Justice - it was clear that the main song revolved around political gain) held Press Conferences, one by one to officially give in to Turkish threats and dance under their tunes. Did the American public (audience in this case) not notice how weak the USA is portraying itself in front of the world and dancing on its toes? I mean who really has the upper hand here? The Turkish government should be reminded of the amount of US dollars spent on Turkey in the name of "development" or "Trade". If anyone should be sending out warnings, it should be the USA on Turkey's childish behavior.
So, stop Twisting and let the Swing begin!
