Armenians: World's Worst Drivers?


Click to enlarge.

From the picture:
347: Average number of people injured or killed in Armenia for every 1,000 vehicles, making Armenians the world's worst drivers. In the USA, the number is 16.
Does this make us - or rather those in Armenia - the world's worst drivers or the world's worst pedestrians? There is hardly any doubt in the minds of tourists who visit there that driving in Armenia is a dangerous affair!

On the skeptical side, no information is provided as to when or how this information was compiled.

Armenian Jewelers Hold 10% of the World Market



Armenians are among the greatest jewelers in the world, and I say that with objectivity!
...Gagik Abrahamian, president of the International Association of Armenian Jewelers (IAAJ) and chairman of board of directors of Armenian Diamond Factory and Armenian Jewelry Factory said the International Association of Armenian Jewelers, established 10 years ago, has now representations in the USA, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Armenia. 'The main objective of the Association is to use the available resources and experience of Diaspora Armenian jewelers to the benefit of development of this sector in Armenia.'
When it comes time to buy jewelry, whether an engagement ring or otherwise, consider Armenian brands. There are a lot of them and they put out some great stuff. I can tell you that I certainly will!
