        MONDAY   NEWS                                      

Monday  News  page  2  of  2    P R O G R A M                    Jean  Cation  introduced  our  speaker         Yeva  Gasparyan,  a  foreign  exchange         student  from  Vayk,  Armenia.    She  is  a         junior  at  Westerville  N.  High  School         and  living  with  Cation’s  son  and           daughter  in-­‐law  in  Westerville.       Yeva  started  her  power  point  with  the  first  slide  “Welcome  to  Sunny  Armenia”  shown  above.    She  is  from  a  small  town  in  the  mountains  with  a  population  of  4,000  people.  The  elevation  of  the  town  is  around  4300’  above  sea  level.    In  looking  at  the  map  of  Armenia  it  represents  a  side  view  of  a  girl.    Their  country  is  rich  in  Christian  history.    Their  country’s  population  totals  3  million  people  with  and  additional  10  million  people  living  throughout  the  world.    Their  country  is  of  comparable  land  area  to  the  state  of  Maine  in  the  United  States.    The  countries  of  Turkey,  Iran,  Azerbaijan,  and  Georgia  surround  them.    At  one  time  they  were  a  part  of  Russia.    Their  flag  is  a  tri-­‐color,  red,  blue  &  orange  horizontal  striped  flag.      Red  recalls  the  blood  shed  for  liberty;  Blue  stands  for  the  hope  of  Armenia  to  live  under  peaceful  skies,  Orange  stands  for  the  creative  talent  and  hard-­‐working  nature  of  the  people  of  Armenia.     Ararat  is  the  highest  mountain  in  the  Armenian  Highlands  and  usually  is  covered  with  snow.    Ararat  is  the  mountain  range  where  Noah’s  Ark  landed.       Yerevan  is  the  capital  of  Armenia.      It  is  the  largest  city  in  Armenia  and  one  of  the  oldest  in  the  world  at  2,798  years.  After  9:00  pm  there  is  singing  and  dancing  in  the  town’s  public  square.       Some  famous  Armenians  are:    Cher,  SOAD,  Kirk  Kerkorian  owner  of  Metro  Goldwyn  Mayer,  and  Kim  Kardashyan.     Our  money  is  the  Dram  consisting  of  coins  and  paper  bills.  The  paper  bills  contain  pictures  of  famous  people.    The  US    $1  is  worth          476.49  Dram.    Christopher  Ter-­‐Serobyan  an  Armenian  inventor  developed  the  green  color  ink  used  to  print  the  US  bills  that  cannot  be  copied  or  counterfeited.         There  are  39  letters  in  our  alphabet  compared  to  26  in    your  alphabet.    Our  last  names  end  with  the  letters  “yan”.    Armenians  are  known  for  their  large  noses.       Armenia  religion  is  Christian.  The  church  is  the  Armenian  Apostolic  Church.    In  301  AD  Armenia  became  the  first  Christian  country.     Yeva  gave  a  short  lesson  in  speaking  Armenian.    Such  as  Hello  is  ‘Barev”,  Goodbye  is  “Hajoghutyun”,  Yes  is  “Ayo”,  No  is  “Voch,  Thank  you  is  “Shnorhakalutyun”,  You  are  Welcome  is  “Khndrem”,  I  Love  You  is  “Sirum  Em  Kez”,  and  How  are  you?  Is  Vonts  es?”           Yeva  showed  some  pictures  of  her         and  her  friends  on  the  “Wings  Of  Tatev”.         The  longest  cable  car  ropeway  in  the         world.    The  system  is  5.7  km  (3.5  mi)         long.    I  was  impressed  with  the  straight  road  below  or  should  I  say  a  few  sections  of  straight  roads.     They  remember  the  Armenian  Genocide  date  of  April  24,  1915  when  Turkey  killed  1.5  million  people  in  Armenia.    A  memorial  was  built  to  honor  those  killed.     Glendale  California  is  known  as  Little  Armenia  with  a  high  concentration  of  Armenians.  One  of  the  slides  shows  a  street  sign  reading  “Little  Armenia”  directing  people  to  that  area.  

  Lake  Sevan  is  the  largest  lake  in  Armenia  and  one  of  the  largest  high  altitude  fresh  water  lakes  in  Europe.      A  wine  festival  is  held  in  the  Areni  village  each  year.    You  can  taste  some  of  the  best  wines  produced  in  Armenia  made  from  grapes  and  pomegranate.      These  wines  are  highly  valued  by  European  consumers.    The  slides  show  a  lot  of  stomping  of  the  grapes.     Yeva  showed  a  slide  of  two  Armenian  Dishes  Ghapama  and  Tolma/Dolama.    To  me  the  Ghapama  looks  like  a  pumpkin  stuffed  with  rice  and  fruit  mixture  and  baked  before  eating.    The  Tolma/Dolama  looks  like  our  stuffed  cabbage  rolls  and  stuffed  peppers.       ? ? ? ? ? ? ’ s  

1. What  is  your  second  language?    When  we  were  part  of  Russia  it  was  Russian  now  it  is  English.  

2.  What  surprised  you  about  America?      The                              lines  and  shopping  with  family.  

3. What  do  you  think  of  our  elections?      Funny  and  interesting.    I  appreciated  your  voting  and  its  funny  how  some  talk  about  going  to  Canada,  if  their  candidate  did  not  win.    In  Armenia  we  have  many,  many  political  parties.  

4. What  career  do  you  want  to  pursue?    My  mother  would  like  me  to  be  a  dentist,  because  that’s  what  she  wanted  to  be.    She  is  a  math  teacher;  most  of  our  family  are  teachers.  I  am  not  sure  what  I  want  to  do.
