Germany recognizes the Armenian genocide. That is a huge deal. The German Parliament acknowledged that during World War 1 the Ottoman Turks committed mass genocide against Armenia.

Tilbian, an Ethiopian singer of Armenian descent, represented Armenia in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest.

Vahe Tilbian is on the mic today talking about his music and how he came about singing. The Ethiopian people consider Armenians one of their own, plus Johno tells Vahe that he has compared their writing and it is very similar.

Johno’s wife has told him on numerous occasions that he sings amazingly when he is in the shower. After going to Armenia and drinking all of that vodka, Johno will be able to sing and dance like Vahe.

Mariam talks to us today about making green beans. Mariam sautéed one onion, and a couple of cloves of garlic and boiled the meat. After adding a little tomato and a little preparation of a few other items, Mariam has a delicious stew.

Ani is excited to hear that Germany has recognized the Armenian Genocide. Ani also tells Johno that when his daughter is in Armenia checking out their university, that she will show her around and give her a tour. Johno’s daughter is going to visit the school for two months.

Ani and Johno talk about being kind and courteous to others. Johno hates it when he lets someone into traffic and they do not wave or anything. “I didn’t have to let you in!” Johno exclaims. It is common courtesy to give a little wave.
