    The cleaning power of Vardavar

    Yerkir/Arm
    1 July 05

    The Armenian Apostolic Church is marking one of its holidays on July
    3, known as Vardavar. Traditionally, on that day people pour water on
    each other symbolizing their belief that by doing so they clean
    themselves of faults, sins and mischief.

    Therefore, it would be very nice if our political and public figures
    actively participated in this year's celebration of the Vardavar. The
    opposition could, for instance, pour water on the authorities to help
    them get rid of their poise and position to see everything in rose
    eyeglasses. The authorities, in turn, could pour water on the
    opposition to clean them of their pessimism.

    Taxpayers and businessmen could "cool" their hearts by "bathing" tax
    and customs inspectors. Artists could "water" the culture minister as
    much as they wish instead of spreading gossips. Just imagine how
    thrilled would drivers feel after pouring water on traffic cops!
    Politicians used to offer dull interviews would be exited by dampening
    journalists.

    Who knows, maybe the Vardavar water could really help us all to get
    rid of everything that prevents us from having a strong state,
    developed country and a happy and solidified society.
