But he fought anyway.

The corrupt element has much greater resources ....

Re: Monte Melkonian

the fact that is Monte's birthday is her opening to criticizing the Armenian society. A society which she is not a part of at the moment[/B] That's her opinion on Armenia. What makes her an expert on Armenia? What makes her an expert on politics, on society, on geopolitics? Because her husband was a soldier during the first 2 years of that countries existence? Because she lived there up until 10-15 years ago?

Yes, that is exactly what makes her opinion worth noting. And the fact that she has seen a never-ending stream of little people trying to associate with, manipulate, appropriate, and abuse her husband's deeds and memory for their own selfish ends.

Your "society which she is not a part of at the moment" comment is particularly unreasoned, given that you also don't live in Armenia yet seem to think you are an expert on everthing to do with the place and its history. Expert enough to even say who else shouldn't be considered an expert!

Great job of not answering anything I said, showing you have nothing to say, and spewing out more off topic garbage
your nonsense shouldn't be justified with a response
I'm gonna take Hakob's advice and let this thread stay on topic

---- the same people in Armenian organizations ----
Such a blanket statement is both worthless and misleading.
The doctored quote of bells you use and your agreement by saying "correct" is also quite worthless and a rather sly but clear insult to Armenians in general.
Monte had and has great support by the Armenian people.
Also great love, admiration, & respect.
I agree with Mher's conclusion that bells post was not worth commenting on.
And think your post is as merit less as the one you agreed with.
Go ahead, show your colors.

Thanks Mher!

I have had the opportunity to meet his Monte's sister and brother- what great people.

No problem. They're indeed really impressive people. It would have been great to have him lead our nation today. His brother apparently teaches at Cal State Univ of Northridge (CSUN). By pure chance I met his cousin in Armenia two years ago at his grave at Yerablur.

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

Lol it has nothing to do with Indians aper. It is Monte's nickname. They used to call him this when he was in Lebanon and also when he was fighting against the Turks alongside the Peshermga. As far as Burjuin is concerned, I have nothing against the man. He misunderstood me.

And thanks for answering my questions Edo Jan!

Monte had his up and downs. In the end he did something that was God given , but he also did some tavajan work for the Tashnag Party.
