Nuclear Summit of 47

[Arpa]

The “summit” begins tomorrow. Has Pres. Serge arrived yet?**

Below (quote)an abbreviated version. See all 47 invited states. Make that 46 since Israel has reneged lest they be put to the test about their nuclear arsenal. Armenia, with Metsamor is a Nuclear State. Why is furkey invited? What business do they have in nuclear matters? Or have they “invited” themselves to simply neutralize the Armenian presence?

**We mourn the loss the Polish President and his entourage, our condolences to the people of Poland. It is the rule in the US that the President and the next in line (Veep and on down) never fly in the same plane. Does Armenia have such a rule?
