Women's Grand Prix in Jermuk |
Jermuk is hosting, for the third time, the leading world chess players. The entry from Wikipedia is quite enlightening :
Jermuk (Armenian: Ջերմուկ; also Romanized as Djermuk, formerly, Safolar) is a spa town in the southern Armenian province of Vayots Dzor, 53 km east of Yeghegnadzor, the capital of Vayots Dzor. It was a popular destination during the Soviet
era and nowadays is still famous for its hot springs and its brand of
mineral water that is bottled in the vicinity. The town is considered to
be attractive for its huge waterfall, the natural bridge, the lake, its
forests with its walking trails and mineral water pools. Jermuk is
currently being redeveloped to become a modern centre of tourism and
health services. The town is also being set up to become a sort of Chess
centre, with numerous chess tournaments hosted or scheduled to be
hosted. Finally, Jermuk is well-known among the Armenian people for its
distinctively fresh air.
