Armenia’s unity dance

Armenians joined hands in a dance of unity encircling the nation’s
highest mountain yesterday. More than 150,000 people, including
President Robert Kocharian, danced for 15 minutes in a 100-mile circle
around Mount Aragats, to celebrate the founding of the first republic
of Armenia in 1918 and remember the 90th anniversary of the Armenian
genocide.
