Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

stick to the subject you MORON!

yes a few in the diaspora have done a great deal of work

but this is a tiny fraction of the potential

never mind about what I have done or not done, there are organizations and churchmen out there who keep telling us they're doing everything necessary and life couldn't get any better

and they can count on morons like you when they say it

i don't care about emigration from Azerbaijan and Georgia they haven't suffered a genocide and are not threatened by another one

my negative outlook? if you think losing 90% of the Armenian homeland and suffering a genocide are positive things then you are even more of a retard than I thought

You stick to the subject, I was merely responding to your out of topic comments.

If you aren't aware of all the works the diaspora has done in Armenia, then go familiarize yourself with it and then talk.

You don't care about Armenia, you don't care about the genocide, so quit pretending you care. Furthermore, the existence of an Armenian republic and free artsakh today is indeed something to be proud of. It shows the resilience of the Armenian nation. It shows the Turks FAILED in their objectives of trying to destroy our nation.

New vistas for Armenia-Diaspora ties: From Lane of Benefactors to commercial network

06.05.11

At the meeting of the Armenian government on May 5, during the presentation of the issue regarding the organization of a conference “Prospects of the Diaspora’s Development in Conditions of a Globalizing World”, President of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia Radik Martirosyan queried: “And what does the development of the Diaspora mean?”. In response, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said that the wording should be removed.

Understanding the importance of the Diaspora for Armenia, its functions, prospects for its preservation apparently become a priority for the Armenian authorities. Perhaps it is due to the hard socio-economic situation in Armenia and the lack of foreign aid, although it is also clear that Armenia needs the Diaspora’s political assistance, for example, in relations with Turkey.

United Nations Resident Coordinator in Armenia Dafina Gercheva stated that Armenia’s economy needs the help of the Diaspora, according to Glendale News-Press. Gercheva stated that the support of eight million Armenians living outside the country is crucial for economic development and democratic reforms in Armenia.

A two-day forum was held in Yerevan at the end of April bringing together representatives of business associations and chambers of commerce and industry of the Armenian Diaspora. The event was organized by Armenia’s Ministry of the Diaspora with the support of the Canadian Armenian Business Council and the Canada-Armenia Chamber of Commerce (CCI). Representatives of 11 of the world’s 13 chambers of commerce and industry of the Armenian Diaspora had arrived in Yerevan – those were from Lebanon, Russia, France, Belgium and Canada. Chairman of the Canada-Armenia Business Council Vahram Pirjanian noted that the annual trade turnover of ethnic Armenian entrepreneurs reaches $10 billion, which is three times the annual budget of the Republic of Armenia.

“This forum will provide a platform where proposals for the institutional development of the country’s economy would be submitted,” said Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan.

“Unfortunately, most of our Diaspora brothers and sisters have an erroneous opinion that it is impossible to have a business and make money in the homeland. This is a very wrong approach,” stressed President Serzh Sargsyan.

As a result of discussions the forum made a decision to establish an association called “Armenian Commercial Network”. Whether this network will become a functioning entity or will remain on paper depends at what pace democratic reforms in Armenia are carried out.

Last week President Sargsyan made another remarkable statement about the Diaspora, accusing Turkey of trying to damage relations between Armenia and its Diaspora. Communities of Armenians living in abroad mostly opposed Armenia’s establishment of relations with Turkey on what it viewed as Ankara’s conditions during Sargsyan’s 2008-2009 rapprochement diplomacy and continues to demand Turkey’s admission and compensation for the Ottoman-era genocide.

At a press conference as part of his visit to Switzerland earlier this week, Sargsyan underscored: “From high tribunes Turkey continues its futureless attempts to damage relations between Armenia and its Diaspora. I wonder how Turkey can fail to realize that the Diaspora that was formed after the genocide of Armenians is an inseparable part of the Armenian people, is our pride and our strength. From the very first day of the restoration of [Armenian] statehood our compatriots all over the world have proved in action that the development of the homeland is their great desire.”

Earlier, the Diaspora Ministry had floated the idea of establishing a so-called lane of Armenian philanthropists, but its opening originally planned for the beginning of the year was later postponed until autumn. There are plans to erect a monument in such a place that would symbolizing a collective image of the Armenian philanthropists, along with monuments to such great Armenian benefactors as Alexander Mantashyan, Mikael Aramyants, Alex Manoogian, Boghos Nubar, Calouste Gulbenkian, Krikor and Garabed Melkonian.

The government has also decided to provide a monthly financial allowance in the amount of 25,000 drams (about $70) to survivors of the 1915 Genocide of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. As of early 2011, 141 people who survived the massacres at the beginning of last century are still alive in Armenia. Until now the Armenian state has not provided any aid to genocide victims.

The Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan has become entangled in his own lies
Press Service of the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan continues to disseminate information that the Karabakh party allegedly in different parts of the contact line in Artsakh and Azerbaijan are regularly violating the ceasefire. In this connection, the NKR Defense Army has decided to address this issue. As the press service of the NKR, the fact that in recent years on the frontline of the parties increasingly began to violate ceasefire is really true. "But another issue is which party initiates it all, and what measures are taken," - said in a statement. According to the NKR only in April this year, the Azeri side, more than 950 times violated the ceasefire, during which weapons of various calibers were made 6,500 shots. It is noteworthy that this Azeri sniper used such weapons as "CBD", "Black Arrow" and "ISTIGAL", which are manufactured in Turkey. "It's no secret that Azerbaijan is in addition to its strength as the first line regularly uses foreign snipers which is pretty good pay for their work, "- said in a statement NKR. They also stress that such behavior Baku indicates that he not only performs the agreements reached during the negotiation process to resolve the conflict, but also cynical distributes information, inappropriate reality.
Referring to the situation prevailing in the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan, the NKR Defense Army noted that only 4 months in 2011 Azerbaijani armed forces were killed 17 soldiers, of whom 7 - Lezgins, 6 - Talyshe 3 - Udis, 1 - accidents.
"But for 4 months in 2011 the progressive forces of the Azerbaijani army violated the truce more than 3200 times, resulting in the Armenian side had 5 victims, and 4 soldiers wounded. However, according to reports of Defense of Azerbaijan during the same time the Armenian side breached 150 times. The same source, of 51 dead and 29 wounded in the Azerbaijani army this year, 40% attributed to violations of the ceasefire. If based on data from the enemy, it turns out that Azerbaijan violated ceasefire 20 times the Karabakh side, but it suffers more losses. Is it true, it's hard to tell ", - emphasized in a statement.

That the Diaspora should be involved more heavily in the annual telethon, despite the $ 21 million, which may be seen as a success, it still remains low compared to the capacity of Diaspora.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

My opinion is better in form of investment , create company with stocks of that sum even with 21 million $ it would be one of the biggest companies in Armenia.

Also double the sum each year multiple it with 10 years and you got jobs for all!

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

You must be kidding, Azeri sources are full of crap, and you want to paint the Armenian ones just the same. For example, for the past 30 years Azeri's have been ruled by one family, we have had 3 presidents that were elected by the people. With elections comes a free press, when one family is in charge there is no press.

I do agree to a sense that no news source can be trusted 100% but I don't agree in compairing your Azeri source to Armenian sources. Simply put you have two people who live differently, there is nothing to compair really. State sponsered news by the clan in charge is not news, it is bullsheet.
