Yes, the problem will go away. You clear out crooked police=you establish rule of law. You make all businesses pay taxes, and you allow new businesses to spring up because they are now no longer afraid of intimidation from oligarchs. Armenian treasury will increase TREMENDOUSLY, and, perhaps most importantly, transportation infrastructure can be constructed/repaired. With better roads and railway, Armenia can diversify its exports away from low-transport-cost goods (like electricity, diamonds, etc.). In all likelihood, a thriving defense industry will emerge, and Armenia can become the Israel of the Caucasus. The dram will strengthen, and investors will be drawn to invest. Emigration will ease. Armenia will be able to afford to subsidize housing, living, etc. in Karabakh, so that more Armenian will move there.

What problems can rule of law not fix?



Armenia should certainly get rid of its Russophobes and look for more security assurances. However, it is never a good thing to have internal infrastructure (energy, gas, electric, wireless) be controlled by a foreign state. Hopefully, this issue will get better with a stronger Armenian economy.

Have you ever lived in Armenia ? I mean for a long time ?

IMHO, Armenia should remain under Russia's thumb, with a crooked puppet goverment. It's better than no Armenia at all, which is what will happen without Russia.

Why can’t we have (desire ) both the Russian umbrella as well as a healthy Government with a healthy economy?

No. But Armenia's case is typical for a post-Soviet country.

Always proud to see the Republic of Armenia overcome the economic disadvantage, blockades and the alignment of forces against us to even the odds with Armenian designed and manufactured weapons. So proud of our military, scientists, engineers and technicians!

Armenia says can strike enemy at 300km and more

The Armenian armed forces are capable of launching missile attacks against a potential enemy within a range of 300 kilometers and more, according to a senior military official in Yerevan.

Head of the Operative Department of the General Headquarters of the Armenian Armed Forces, Major-General Artak Davtyan said at a press conference on Monday that scenarios of missile attacks were applied during the recent strategic command and staff exercises that involved up to 45,000 military servicemen, including NKR Defense Army subdivisions.

Reservists had also been called up for the drills that were conducted across Armenia on October 1-13.

Davtyan said that the simulation included aiming missiles at the “conventional” rival’s military facilities and economic infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Defense Minister spokesperson Artsrun Hovhannisyan confirmed to the media information according to which Armenia has also tested its S-300 anti-aircraft missile system.
Hovhannisyan said the stock of the arms and military equipment of the Armenian Armed Forces including anti-aircraft defense systems was being constantly updated, reported Mediamax.

Major-General Davtyan, in his turn, said that the Armenian side was closely watching the military purchases by Azerbaijan. He particularly emphasized the new antitank weapons designed to fight the next-generation armor that were tested during the recent exercises in Armenia.

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

seems to be our old uniform on soldier, is it our mig25?

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

Maybe Armenia should overhaul that MiG-25, remove the armaments and offer rides to tourists, targeting Diasporans for the experience of flying with the Armenian military, and CIS, Western and Iranian tourists for the thrill. The Russians make millions in revenue from their space tourism industry. And the MiG-25 happens to be built for speed. I think it be better to generate a little revenue than to let it sit around.

In fact the Russians have a similar program: http://www.flymig.com/

In post no. 10954 by Burjurin , 2nd pic from top is showing what appears to be Khazak forces that are traing with us and the rest of the collective forces.
On a personal level have any of our people spoken to these(Khazak) troops? And what was their impression of the Khazaks sense of humanity and historicle facts?
Has any of that been expressed by our troops?
Just for understandings sake --- I thought I saw a lot of humanity in many of the youthful Khazak faces.
