Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests -

EURASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK'S ANTI-CRISIS FUND TO LEND $150 MILLION TO ARMENIA FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NORTH-SOUTH MOTOR ROAD
YEREVAN, February 24. /ARKA/. Eurasian Development Bank's Anti-crisis
Fund will lend $150 million to Armenia for construction of North-South
motor road, Dmitry Pankin, chairman of the bank's board, said Wednesday
at an online conference.
In his words, the deal is already formalized and the money will be
sent to Armenia soon.
<<This is a 560-kilometer motorway, which will cross Armenia's entire
territory and will connect Iran, Armenia, Georgia and Russia,>>
he said.
Pankin stressed that this is one of the six investment projects
that are already approved and waiting for implementation by the
Anti-crisis Fund.
After settlement of technical matters and ratification of the
agreement the financial resources are planned to be transferred to
Armenia in 2015.
On January 14, 2010, the Armenian government approved the investment
program on construction of the North-South transport corridor as well
as $500-million loan agreement between Armenia and Asian Development
Bank.
The goal of the project is to upgrade Armenia's main corridor road as
part of a broader thrust to improve connectivity, and boost trade,
growth and livelihood opportunities in the Caucasus and Central
Asia sub-regions.
The transport corridor will stretch from the southern Armenian town of
Meghri, on the border with Iran, to Bavra in the north on the border
with Georgia.
The North-South transport corridor will enable Armenia to mitigate
the effects of the blockade imposed by Azerbaijan and Turkey.
The Anti-crisis Fund's investments total $2.63 billion, of which $190
million will be lent to Armenia under two approved projects. The
Anti-crisis Fund amounting to $8.513 billion was established by
six countries - Armenia Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia
and Tajikistan.
The fund's main goal is to assist the member countries in overcoming
consequences of crises, strengthening their economies and developing
integration processes.
In June 2009, the countries empowered the Eurasian Development Bank
to run the fund's financial resources. ---0---
