WATCH: No one thought to pick something up or pocket anything. What a user recounts
Levon Khachatryan wrote on his Facebook page: “There are shops that have remained significantly unscathed. We take out items - new clothes and shoes, jewelry, phones, and other electronics. We stack them on top of each other until we find the owner and take them. And I’m closely watching, no one even thought to pick something up or pocket anything. In this Sodom and Gomorrah, no one would have noticed, it would have been hard to see if it weren’t for someone like me being specially focused on it.
Complete strangers are so caring when they take out the goods, clean them, and stack them. They hold each other’s hands to help, lean against each other to avoid falling, giving new cold water to one another while they drink something hot, carrying the heavy stones and leaving the lighter ones for others, pushing ahead who is on the truck – working in the heaviest and dustiest places. When you look at it, your heart fills up. There are traits and principles that are genetically within Armenians. And do not attempt to label these wonderful people because of a few frivolous or clueless individuals who listen to concerts.
Note: To avoid saying I’m idealizing, I’ll mention that there was one shop owner who was stuck working, but as soon as we left his shop area, he left too. Note 2: But the owner of another shop was so generous, cleaning and giving water to the girls bringing supplies, gifting harmless new boxed power banks to the boys from the Ministry of Emergency Situations and to volunteers. It’s the second type that is much more common, respected guys and girls, not the first one; only the first group is a little more active and leaves a strong impression. Therefore, stop lamenting about national degradation; this is the entire network, and it hasn't changed since yesterday.”
