I like the article, but it is missing something.
Why didn’t you mention that Jaffarian employs Armenians too, and the best example of that is Mr. Sarkis Shamshoyan who happens to be known in the entire community, and in all the churches. Yes, he is a real Armenian; he speaks it, he writes it, and he practices it.
