Actress, dancer, stage director-choreographer Aida Simon who was recognized a winner of the prize at the fitness contest held for the first time in Armenia in the summer, in other words, the woman who has the most beautiful body, recently returned from Turkey. The artist was a member of the Armenian delegation traveling to Istanbul to inspire local Armenians, who were fighting since May for the return of the Armenian poor and orphan kids’ educational center built in Tuzla district in 1962, the “Kamp Armen”, from the local authorities.
The Turks want to take this center back from the Armenian community and build luxury villas in this place. As mentioned by Aida Simon, it was not just an orphanage building. In her words, the history of a whole nation is summed up inside these walls. Once Hrant Dink and his wife Rakel Dink studied here.
