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

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
The military parade held in Yerevan September 21 was an imitation, said Azerbaijan’s Deputy Minister of Defense Industry Yahya Musayev.
Asked whether Azerbaijan is in talks with Pakistan to purchase the complex similar to Iskander-M missile complex, showcased in the recent parade in Yerevan, the deputy minister replied: “The Ministry of Defense Industry is a manufacturer, it doesn’t purchase weapons and ammunition. It would be better if you ask this question to the Defense Ministry.”
The funny thing about this is when Armenia learnt about the weapon deal with Azerbaijan the Government along with the people were absolutely dirty that these weapons being the Smerch or TOS was given to Azerbaijan. When the most advanced missile in the world with total destruction is in Armenias Arsenal , they play it down like it's nothing.
When Russia threatens Europe , it talks Iskander. The Europeans basically xxxx themselves.. now. Who is Azerbaijan?

Having free elections means nothing. It does not put food on the table, it does not mean rule of law, it does not mean much at all. What it does do is offer a shade of legitimacy to a system that will invariably be corrupted, manipulated and captured by either the same elites that run the country now or by other malevolent forces. Much more telling and meaningful things to keep an eye on would things like GDP/capita, life expectancy, infant mortality rates, unemployment rate, literacy rate, availability of affordable health care... This unwavering focus on democracy debilitates the ability of the people to focus on things that really mater in life.Originally posted by Mher View PostWe covered all of our bases. There's nothing left that I can say is a glaring need in our armed forces. Fighter jets would be nice, but I think the ship on that sailed a while ago given the cost and the defense systems available in the region.
Now it's time to have clean elections in Armenia and to improve rule of law: https://v6000.am/
Armenia has 1997 election sites. Previous elections have shown having just one monitor at a voting site significantly reduces the possibility of vote rigging. Having three almost eliminates it.
If you're in Armenia, register immediately on that site to be an election monitor. When you register they will call you with the proper information. Then encourage as many people as you can to also register. If you're going to visit Armenia, do it in late March to participate in this process.Hayastan or Bust.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
I totally agree. I expect the same oligarchs to be in power and simply switch parties were the HHK to be defeated. However the people in this country have given up. they somehow believe some evil elite are destroying the country and that's why the country isn't rich. because the average person isn't intelligent enough to understand economics or geopolitics. therefore its reached a point where the people no longer bother to participate and in their eyes the government can do nothing right. But more than that, the HHK has built its power around oligarchs and its hard for Sargsyan to reign them in no matter how much willpower he has to do so. Therefore I really do think its time for a change. If nothing else, for people to believe they can participate in the political process and that destructive steps like Erebuni are not necessary. My support is behind Pashinyan because he seems to have some real willpower to bring about better rule of law. Once again, I don't think a significant amount will change, and I believe Serzh and co do a somewhat decent job, but it is time for the people do believe in the process and the country again.Originally posted by Haykakan View PostHaving free elections means nothing.
