  1. Feel proud to be an Armenian Eric because of individuals like you. Hope to meet you in person some day. By the way have no plans for God, just keep marching on the path of humanity.

  2. Very well said. Definitely something we should all read and pass along to not only our family members & relatives, but to all of our Armenian and non-Armenian contacts.

  3. Eric, Congratulation on this very good article.
    How about Hrant becoming a Saint of the church ? The Catholic church has already some Armenian Saints like St. Blasius or the 40 Roman Soldiers that were Armenians.
