JOSE Music Hall Opening in Yerevan


The JOSE Music hall just opened up in Yerevan. It is a very elegant restaurant and lounge for music lovers from around the world. It offers elegance, class and fine dining for everyone in the heart of Armenia. Located at 20 Khanjyan st in Yerevan, the JOSE music hall is a very enjoyable place.


I personally haven't had the chance to check the place out, but according to kamoblog.am the place is very nice. Judging from the pictures they put up on their website, I don't doubt it one bit. It has a very big dance floor and an amazing stage for live performances.

Serj Tankian Supports Occupy Wall Street


Front man of System of A Down Serj Tankian, Armenian by origin, voiced support for  the Occupy Wall Street movement.

“I hope that the Occupy Wall Street movement truly turns into a political force that pulls the Democrats to the much needed left, as the Tea Party moved the Republicans toward the right.
More importantly, it’s a celebration of the fact that the current post-industrial, capital based, globalist agenda has failed due to its built in unjust inequalities and the loss of faith of its adherents, the general public,” he wrote on the wall of his Facebook account.

Occupy Wall Street movement is an ongoing series of demonstrations held in New York where participants are protesting against social and economic inequality, influence of corporations over government.

Armenian Play on Turkish Stage



Istanbul municipal theater will stage Armenian writer Hakob Paronyan’s “Eastern Dentist” play.
“Armenians are the foundation of Turkish theater. Artists bred in this area are the DNA of this land. We need to claim our past if we want to modernize. Unfortunately, we are a society without a memory,” Aysenil Samlioglu, Istanbul Municipal Theater’s general art director told Hurriyet Daily News.

According to him, the theater would be pleased to bring the play to Armenia.
“We also marginalize our people. We ignored people who had been living on this soil for thousands of years due to ideological reasons. It is impossible for us to eradicate Armenian artists from Turkish theater,” Engin Algan, who adapted Baronyan’s work for the stage, told the newspaper.


Algan says it is important to stage the performance when enmity is used as a political tool. Speaking about Armenians, he stressed that they shared a common life with Turks 100 years ago and “it is this common past that carried us into the present.”
