The Real Tragedy is What Hasn’t Happened After the Earthquake

A clock in Gyumri stopped at 11:37 a.m., the time the devastating earthquake hit Armenia on Dec. 7, 1988

BY ARA KHACHATOURIAN

Once again we are commemorating the anniversary of the tragic earthquake that hit Armenia on December 7, 1988. As we honor the victims of that tragedy, we must tell ourselves that we, as a nation, have failed to rebuild the earthquake zone, which almost 30 years later is still labeled the “disaster zone.â€
