    Well, I learned something, anyway. Not as much as I'd have liked. I'll get to that later. I already knew Yerevan was in Armenia. I can hear indignant Armenians now - "You putz! It's the Capital!" - but I'm still baffled as to the contents of the communiqué. Except possibly that there may someday (2020?) be a facility to get your foreign degree quickly recognized in Armenia - or your Armenian degree quickly recognized abroad.

    I did learn what Nuffic is - and Nuffic seems to be carrying the ball here. It's a Dutch organization for "internationalisation in education." Says so itself, here: https://www.nuffic.nl/en/publications/find-a-publication/a-short-path-to-automatic-recognition-4-models.pdf/view

    Anyway - it seems like a bunch of papers and proposals right now, but the deadline set for implementation of the new international degree-recognition process is in 2020. I wish them luck. It's two years out and nothing is cast in stone yet. At present, there are four different pathways presented for consideration.

    Հաջողություն!
    (Hajoghut’yun!) - "Good Luck," in Armenian.

    Succes! - "Good Luck," in Dutch
