this is a non-issue. you know why? there are poor people in pretty much every country! i guess diasporan armenians are supposed to fork up yet more money for armenia? how ’bout the mafia running the country (along with their kin in glendale/burbank/hollywood) give up their mansions and mercedeses and help out their countrymen? i wonder, how come we never hear about armenians in iraq for example. in 7 years of operation iraqi freedom/genocide did we hear even one mention of armenians in iraq on the annual telethon? easily a million dead in that country and many more refugees. i wonder why that is. maybe armenians will look too middle-eastern to white people if they try to bring attention to the fact there are armenians in iraq. fitting in is more important than remembering that arabs, who were fighting the turks at the time, took armenians into their countries when they were nearly exterminated from their homeland.

I wonder whether poverty in Armenia is “growing” or whether it’s persisting. It sounds like Grigor’s situation was better a few years ago. I get the feeling that his life was as bad a few years as it is now.

The other side of the story is that for those Armenians who have a job, a good job, they live a more or less middle-class life. More and more young newlyweds are going on honeymoons outside of Armenia. Cafes and restaurants in Yerevan are packed with locals night after night. This must mean that for many average Armenians, life is becoming somewhat easier.

What is striking, though, is the situation in the villages. The desolation and dilapidation of villages outside of the big cities are difficult to overlook.
