Armenia To Choose Between Energy Diversification And Loyalty To Russia

http://oilprice.com/Geopolitics/International/Armenia-To-Choose-Between-Energy-Diversification-Or-Loyalty-To-Russia.html

It really is no shock to any of us that the Armenian leadership is in the hands of Russia. They are effectively Russian puppets that willingly sell and oblige Armenia to anything that Russia says. Hell, Russia openly sells to weapons to Azerbaijan and then charges Armenia $200mln loan to buy weapons and the leadership bends over and asks for more d*ck in their a$$es.

Armenia now has a major potential for Solar and Hydro, according to the article, about $8bln of US investment, and even French investment. But because our leadership is chosen by Moscow for Moscow, Armenia might sink these deals to keep the death trap Metsamor open and further make us a b*tch of Russia. These b*tch oligarchs just handed over a Russian roach that murdered an entire Armenian family back to Moscow. Now, they are probably going to refuse $8bln dollars of investment so Russia can send them over a hooker or two.

I certainly pray to the lord that someone realizes that they should let non-Russian investment into Armenia so we can develop a homeland instead of being some desolate wasteland that hosts a Russian base. Which is what the Russians really want. They want Armenia emptied to be part of a Russian base.

What will happen to the busses.

They were not present to the Yerevan Town Hall Oligarchs but to the Yerevan City and its people.

I agree with you. I only saw them on one street, the street with all the embassies. There does not seem to be this concentrated effort by the state to solve any traffic related problems, whether it be road traffic accidents, traffic, or even public transportation. They really are sacks of sh*t for the most part that sit around and do nothing. It's quite amazing.

I saw the Chinese buses when I was there. They're alright, not as terrible as the polluting machines the Hyundai's are. Holy xxxx those things are gross. But alas, buses would be better than the vans.

When they mean by getting rid of masturka's they mean getting a xxxx load of Hyundai county buses to replace them.

What happened to the 100 busses China donated to Yerevan.

The last response from the authorities was that they are in store. Excuse , they cannot recruit drivers !!!

Yerevan public transport system to undergo cardinal changes

YEREVAN, June 23. /ARKA/. In early 2018 Yerevan residents using public transport will, in all likelihood, get rid of minibuses, commonly known as ‘marshrutka’, Karen Chilingaryan, the head of Consumer Advisory Center, said at a press conference on Friday.

"Armenia’s public transport system is the worst among all post-Soviet countries. The only country that compares with us is perhaps Tajikistan. However, some progress seems to have been made and there is hope that the authorities will eventually reform the system," he said.

Chilingaryan noted that a task force at the Yerevan City Hall is considering cardinal reforms in this area, which can be implemented as early as 2018. He said the city administration signed an agreement with the British company WYG International Limited for studying the city’s public transport system and proposing ways to improve it.

"The yesterday regular meeting was about how to eventually get rid of ill-fated marshrutkas, which are not used to transport passengers anywhere else, "he said. According to him, the task force is also looking into introducing a modernized payment system –plastic cards- for transport services. "All vehicles will be equipped with GPS navigation systems, and passengers will be able to track the arrival time of the buses," he added.
