JIM HILLIBISH: TRY ARMENIAN POTATO SALAD, AND FORGET THE MAYONNAISE

ARMENPRESS
30 May, 2012
YEREVAN

YEREVAN, MAY 30, ARMENPRESS: Nations surrounding Armenia are famed for
their highly spiced food. Armenians take an opposite approach. They
believe if food is fresh, it needs a little more than salt, pepper
and perhaps some garlic. Mint is a favorite, reports Armenpress citing
StJames News.

Armenians love grilled meats, especially lamb in olive oil and
rosemary or mint. They set up portable charcoal grills on roadways
to feed travelers, often in kebabs.

Your best chance at sampling this cuisine is in Middle Eastern
restaurants. Ask for Armenian dishes.

Armenian preserved meats are dried to concentrate flavor. They include
a ground beef hot sausage and a salami made with veal. You may find
them in ethnic delis.

Armenian Potato Salad is a favorite side dish. It strips away the
usual thoughts of mayonnaise, mustard and celery seed to make the
dish a nearly pure potato experience. As with most Armenian recipes,
ingredients are at a minimum and preparation times short. You’ll find
it a welcome switch from other potato salads.

ARMENIAN POTATO SALAD: 4 medium red potatoes, unpeeled, boiled
and cooled

1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon dried mint or 2 tablespoons fresh,
chopped rosemary 1/2 large, red onion, thinly sliced, 1/4 cup olive
oil, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice.

would not be repeated in future” Armenpress reports that Kazeminy

The chairman of American coalition expressed his admiration mentioning
that Serzh Sargsyan is one of the best Presidents who brought Armenia
to international arena in a short period.

In words of the chairman of “National Ethnic coalition of
organizations” President of Armenia is the only foreign President
that had been awarded the honor medal “Ellis Island”.

Nasser Kazeminy also revealed the secret of his success: he never
accepts “no” as a steady answer.

BEFORE THE NEXT LESSON
Hayk Aramyan

Story from Lragir.am News:

Published: 11:36:54 – 30/05/2012

The Members of Parliament are already known. The board meeting of
the Republican Party will be held today which will make a decision
on the staff of the government.

Though before the parliamentary elections Vartan Oskanian said that
the prime minister should be elected through parliamentary elections,
nevertheless, the pre-election and post-election events are happening
in the context of the presidential elections of 2013.

Hence, the so-called government will be temporary. Actually, the
parliament will also be interim in the sense that it has also been
formed in the context of the upcoming presidential elections and may
be abolished in one year.

The government and the parliament are interim also in terms of
the foreign political developments. If domestic life of Armenia is
“frozen” by one year, until the presidential elections, the serious
home and foreign transformations awaiting Armenia will require adequate
domestic changes which will first of all refer to the new government
and the parliament.

The present political field, the so-called new parliament and
government are quite consistent with the aforementioned issues. No
political party is able to make decisions on simple issues. Confusion
could be noticed which could be the result of the failure of the
former plans and expectations.

So, we will have a frozen situation in Armenia until the presidential
elections. The lesson that May 6 parliamentary election taught will
force everyone to refrain from abrupt moves until the presidential
elections. Rumors came that the leader of the main “opposition”
force, the PAP, met with their parliamentary group and warned them
not to deliver sharp speeches in parliament and urged the ministers
not to get depressed and have a rest in summer promising them that
everything will be fine.

So, Armenia will waste another year with an interim parliament
and government the activities of which will match the logic of the
presidential elections. At the same time, nothing else should be
expected from the present political class. It is absolutely useless
and inconsistent with the Armenian issues and May 6 elections just
fixed and concluded the situation.
