    "CRISIS IS ALWAYS FELT IN GYUMRI"

    "Economic crisis? What is it?" in reply to our question said a
    40-year-old Gyumri citizen who lives "with an open heart and broad
    smile ignoring the crisis."

    Gyumri residents say they don't feel depressed at the thought of an
    economic crisis as they "always experience a panic - both spiritual
    and financial."

    "We have adoptive immunity and never fear from global tremors,"
    says 29-year-old Volodya Grigoryan who is preparing documents to
    leave for Russia.

    Unemployement continues to be a most concerning problem in
    Gyumri. Local residents say unemployment is their first and foremost
    problem.

    A woman recalled Serzh Sargsyan's pledges of December 7, 2008 when the
    latter promised to turn Gyumri into a center of art and sports. "Every
    time they say one and the same thing but they do nothing. Let them
    open new working places instead," said a woman whose 35-year-old son
    was recently sacked from work.

    "My son used to work in a filling station. The director said he was
    reducing the staff to make savings." Mrs. Tereza advised us to visit
    her neighbours and inquire how much she owes to each of them.

    Note that as a result of the economic crisis over 200 groceries,
    bathrooms and stores have been closed down in Gyumri
