Correction to the video clip: The address for the restaurant called Karma is: Teryan 65, Yerevan, Armenia. During my recent visit to Yerevan I met hundreds of East Indian students at the medical school in Yerevan, speaking fluent Armenian. I also ran into a man called Danesh on Hyusisayin Boghoda (Northern Blvd), and spoke Armenian with him. I tried to get a better quality video, but the camcoder was in my hand, and even though they were very kind and entertaining people, they were not actors. I understand the Armenian content on this clip. I trust whatever was said in Hindi is helpful to my Indian friends. Danesh, the one featured in the second and third segments of this clip owns a very nice restaurant in Yerevan, called Karma. He had excellent Indian food for all of us. The phone number for the restaurant is:+374 10 58 92 15Now, to all those who think there is danger to having people of other nationalities speaking Armenian in Yerevan, I say this: My Anteptsi grandma lived and grew up in her 2500 year old ancestral land, but did not speak a word of Armenian. She was forced to speak Turkish in her own, historic land. I had to learn Turkish to speak to my own grandma when I grew up in Lebanon. She used to go to our protestant church, and not understand a word, but pretend that she did. I wish my grandma were alive today to see free Armenia, and these students and businessman speaking Hayeren. It would take the sting out of her pain, and make her say there is a God up there and all around us in the form of the Holly Spirit.Good days are going to come in the way of Armenia.
