Man United fans' new Henrikh Mkhitaryan chant gets seal of
approval…
from Henrikh Mkhitaryan
22 Aug 2016
By Richard Innes
Old Trafford's new Armenian midfielder has already got himself a
United chant - and it's a beauty
Say what you like about Man United fans; they know how to come up with
a good chant.
As their song for Zlatan Ibrahimovic proved, they don't hang about
when it comes to composing them, either. When a new player arrives at
their club, they very quickly get on with the business of designing a
chant for the new boy.
Hence the brilliant Henrikh Mkhitaryan ditty you can see a few
supporters belting out in the clip above.
The Armenian midfielder has had a slow start to life in England since
his £26million move from Borussia Dortmund - but that hasn't stopped
the Old Trafford faithful from getting their creative juices flowing.
Take a look at the video and you will see that they haven't just come
up with something obvious for their new playmaker. Instead, they have
done their own version of Sting's 'Englishman in New York'.
The lyrics are:
Whoa-oh… Mkhitaryan,
Henrikh Mkhitaryan,
He's our midfield Armenian.
Very simple, yet very effective when you hear it. So much so, the man
himself has liked it on Twitter:

The armed takeover of the Erebuni Police Patrol Station by the Sassna Dzrer group in July countered civil society-government, Armenia-diaspora relations and even affected the Armenian Apostolic Church. Father Armen Melkonian was relieved of his duties as visiting preacher to Europe following his open support to the Sassna Dzrer group at a rally outside the Armenian Embassy in Amsterdam.

Exciting visit to Buckingham Palace
August 20 2016
On Monday 15th August , Jeanine, Anaïs and I went to Buckingham Palace. For several months I had been corresponding with the Assistant Curator of Decorative Arts, Sally Goodsir, about an object in the Royal Collection. I asked her if she knew the whereabouts of the gold tray which H. I . M. Haile Sellassie I presented to H. M. Queen Elizabeth II on her visit to Ethiopia in 1965. I told her the tray was made by B A Sevadjian and explained my special interest in it.
I was really happy and gratified when she said ‘Yes, the tray is well-known to us.’ and invited me to view it. I had to take Jeanine & Anaïs with me for this likely once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the tray. And so, after all the required security checks etc, we went and were met so kindly by Sally who led us though a maze of corridors in the bowels of the Palace, to a small conference room. And there was the tray.
I quite understand now the love that King Midas felt for gold. None of us could take our eyes away from that object. It just held our gaze—almost magnetically. None of us in that room, including Sally who works with great artefacts everyday, had ever seen that quantity of gold before. Ethiopian gold, a beautiful dark buttery yellow and at 22kt glowing like the sun .
I had only ever seen a picture of the tray, taken soon after it was made. Although it is a colour photograph, it hardly gives an idea of the size and depth of colour and sheer opulence of the real thing. First off, it is 80 cm x 51½ cm. About ½ cm thick. It is a very ornate, two handled tray, the whole of the centre being engraved in a stylised flowers and leaves motif. The inscription in the centre reads:
The tray is edged with leaves and scallops. Of course the most important thing for me was to see the signature, so the tray had to be turned over. Sally was unable to do so herself and Anaïs helped. It does weigh 14 kg after all! And there it was: B A Sevadjian Addis Ababa.
We stood looking at this beautiful tray for a good three quarters of an hour. Sally told us that most of the artefacts in the palace are gilt and that she had not seen many solid gold objects before. She was very happy to have shown it to us, and let us look for as long as we liked. It was a wonderful way to spend a Monday afternoon. We left the Palace, feeling proud and emotional.
