With precious little information circulating about the Pan-Armenian Games and not least because many media outlets here are still on “holiday,” it’s at least good to see that the Noyan Tapan News Agency is posting the results of the competitions which have finished to date. Unfortunately, very few Armenians actually got to attend the sporting events, and even journalists were deprived of the necessary information to cover the games properly. Kudos to NT for the information they do have.
