Levon,

You should rather open a special bank account, and request money transfers instead of congratulations. It is a very effective way....

As to the green paint, I don't know about it, but it is recognized that medieval Armenians have created some type of red paint called "Vordan Karmir" which they say doesn't fade away throughout centuries.

I wish i've saved that newspaper,it was telling,about 250-300 years ago,maybe during English era on America(sorry for the date,i have no knowledge on American history),Americans wanted some police-like stuff from Ottoman Sultan,and he sent some Armenian guards(Probably the reason for sending Armenians was because of their Christianity).Also written that their names were still recognizable on their gravestones and those men and their families might be the first Armenian settlers in America.
