Look who's opposing this school Levon xxxxing ter Pedrosyian
here's him telling we should give Artsakh to the enemy and you guys are supporting him.

War is likely to resume in Karabakh, Levon Ter-Petrsoyan says
July 17, 2010 | 12:39

As far as the Karabakh conflict is unsettled, war is likely to resume, the first Armenian President and the leader of the Armenian National Congress Levon Ter-Petrsoyan said at the 16th congress of the Armenian National Movement.

According to him, presently the authorities are making final diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. “Azerbaijan, if not the Armenian side, may plan military solution to the conflict,” he noted. He considers that the Armenian authorities’ responses to Azerbaijani belligerence are absolutely unfounded. “The authorities’ allegations that the Armenian efficient army and international community will not let war resume are senseless, and I can prove it, if necessary,” Levon Ter-Petrosyan stated. He also stressed that the leadership should not deceive people, telling stories that Azerbaijan will lose war. The ANC leader emphasized that presently Armenia is on the edge of a demographic crisis. “Armenia may become a developed country in 100 years, but now it faces a considerable demographic threat. All Armenia’s troubles are caused by the demographic crisis,” he added.

Those articles are just funny. They term opening of a school to imperialism. If this was going to be a russian school then the need for one sure does seem to exist. Only 25% of the people felt comfortable with their Russian skills when Russia is the most important country for Armenia. Placing limits on the number of schools to be opened can easily take care of any issues of concern. There is no need to scrap this project, it could be refined to make the locals more comfortable about it.

This is correct, but totally irrelevant.

It's relevant because your heart, mind, and your life is outside of Armenia. Armenia to you is more of a holly place than an actual place, and hence you can never understand what it needs. So yes, it's totally relevant.

You don't know who I am, what I do for living, how many times a year I visit Armenia and a lot more.

You are a liberal minded western educated person who is unknowingly attempting to project western ultra-liberal values unto Armenia, which will ultimately bring an end to the traditional Armenian values now upheld in Armenia, which will in turn mark the final pages in Armenian history.

I could easily say some Armenians who frequently visit Armenia, know more what is happening in Armenia and are culturally more Armenian, than some Armenians who live in Armenia.

That is incorrect. If you'd like to believe in that just to make yourself feel more Armenian, then do so, but that is entirely incorrect.

Maybe you want to divide people on this forum by their IQ also, because some are smarter than others, that sure should count too?

Being smart is one thing, but using one's intelligence to unknowingly bring unwanted effects is another thing.

I must laugh. How did you get the number ''8'' and not, say, 7 or 6? As I said, you have another definition of loss, as I find even a tourist who decides to cancel his trip to Armenia a loss, let alone such a huge projects of significance.

How did I get 8. With limited state or no state support it will take around $250,000 per year to fund a specialized school housing 300-400 students.
At up to 25 students per class, such a school will need around 15 teachers each getting paid around $12,000 per year which puts the total cost of teachers at around $180,000 per year, leaving around $70,000 per year for administrative costs.
Thus around $250,000 per year is enough to fund a specialized school of 300-400 students. $60 million for 30 years is $2 million per year, which is enough for 8 specialized schools.

Hey Levon why would a liberal such as yourself fight so hard against liberal values? Tigran has demonstrated his love for Armenia by being there and doing business there, he actually does things to help the country vs the likes of you and Gageve whose closed minded pessimism spells certain doom for our country. Tigran is always posting articles about progressive projects in our country which bring hope of a bettter future for our people while you and Gageve are indulging in pessimism and hetamnatsutyun. Tigran has his heart and mind squarly set on a Armenia with a brighter future while the likes of you canot comprehend anything different then what you have known in the past.

Thank you for proving you are a total lunatic, I feel sorry for you. I did not know you could see into ones heart and mind through the internet. Are you being taken serious even in real-life? (What an arrogance, who the **** do you think you are?)

You are a liberal minded western educated person who is unknowingly attempting to project western ultra-liberal values unto Armenia, which will ultimately bring an end to the traditional Armenian values now upheld in Armenia, which will in turn mark the final pages in Armenian history.

You write in English, I think you have been recruited by the CIA and as you were a former taxi-driver who lacked money and needed some extra cash, just like Levon Ter-Petrosian (who is your relative) you decided to betray your country. Also, I can feel into your heart and having read your mind, I know that your ultimate goal is the destruction of Armenia and the realization of ''Great'' Azerbaijan.

You are just the perfect example of a person who can't accept his wrongs and invents all sorts of weird stuff to prove his rightness, ignoring all the facts and arguments of others, beginning discussions on off-topic subjects.

I have noticed you hallucinate a lot (even about me, I am flattered), but also about Ruben Vardanian, even though you did not know him, but you probably went through his mind too and you knew for sure he was out all for the money and profit, didn't you? Seriously, I would suggest you to visit a psychologist because this is becoming scary.

How did I get 8. With limited state or no state support it will take around $250,000 per year to fund a specialized school housing 300-400 students.

How old are you? 16? Have you ever begun even a small venture/business for yourself? There are hundreds of things you should take care of, especially for specialized schools (again, what is ''specialized''?), it would be nearly impossible for you to actually estimate the costs of even one such school, let alone to know what 8 specialized schools (on average) will cost. Hallucination, hallucination, hallucination... I assume you are either on drugs or are just drunk.

Post something serious or don't post at all.

Hey Levon why would a liberal such as yourself fight so hard against liberal values?

The fact that you don't know how to read has already been established. For one, I have never explicitly nor implicitly declared myself as liberal, but merely asked you to take note that liberal in the modern sense is completely different from the liberal values that inspired the french and american revolutions, which are also slightly different from what one calls liberterian.

Liberal in the modern sense is almost a replica of what Marx was pushing forth, and these values are in complete contradiction with what liberterians advocate.

Please post more educated responses. You are acting like fool.

Whole letter; http://dilijanschool.org/?id=377&cat=230

What are you going to say now? Again try to convince yourself of your own ''rightness'', gegev/levon? Simplest thing to say (just like Azeris), is to say, IT IS ALL A BIG LIE, a conspiracy! He is a billionaire already, but still wants to make extra money, he doesn't care for Armenia!

Philanthropy? Let's see. 600 students total, out of which 400 will be foreign and 200 Armenian. Of the 200 Armenian students 80% will get a free-ride, so 20% or 40 students will pay full price. This means a total of 440 students will pay full tuition which will amount to $4.4 million per year in tuition fees. Considering they would want 10 students per class, then they will need around 60 teachers. Being generous, lets say each teacher would get $12,000 per year, for a total of $720,000 per year in teaching costs. One can rack up another $280,000 in administrative and other costs, for a total of $1,000,000 leaving $3.4 million in total profit. Let's see, total revenue $4.4 million, total profit at $3.4 million. I believe that makes it a 77% profit margin.

As a reference, microsoft, which is one of the most profitable companies in the world has around the same profit to revenue ration. This, of course, makes the entire school project a VERY profitable business venture. That, my friend, cannot be considered Philanthropy. Even if total profit is brought down to $1.0 million leaving $3.4 million in costs, that would still be around 20% profit, same as HP.

That's your definition of philanthropy I suppose.
