It might be a common scene in a regular
hospital.
Early Birds in a Sleepy
City: A visitor finds life in the quiet
of Yerevan mornings

It has been said of many places, most famously
New York City: "This is the city that
never sleeps".
Such a reputation usually comes because
of a nightlife in which streets stay alive
after dark, where clubs are open till dawn
and tired shopkeepers stare from behind
counters around the clock.
If summer is traditionally play time for
students who, set free in May by "last
bell" spend three months forgetting
about school, it is something much different
for teenagers trying to take the next step
into university.
Drawn to Stay: Young
Diaspora finding a home in "the homeland"
By Lala Demirdjian
and Sossi Essajanian ArmeniaNow interns
"There is some sort of magnet here.
I believe it is the 3,000 year old history
that continues to draw us to Armenia. No
matter what reason brought you here, you
end up discovering your roots."
About 10 to 15
students sat outside the Presidential Residence in Yerevan
Thursday to protest the closing of student hostels.
They held banners saying "Think about future students"
and "Mr. President are you with us?" The government
is dismantling the student hostels, forcing non-resident
students to find other housing.
