Long live the Russian Federation!

Re: Long live the Russian Federation!

I didn't say Russia does not help Armenia: Where did you see me write that? Here's what I said: "Maybe it's true ... maybe." You know what the word "maybe" means or are you just learning how to read? I indicated I found these videos - and wasn't sure of their contents, accuracy, or relevance. An Armenian on here I trust (i.e., not you Mos); clarified the videos. Hopefully he can add some information about his personal experiences in Russia, which seem to be positive.

You say maybe it's true - which is false, there is not maybe - our alliance is a fact, and there are very little doubts about the strength of that alliance. You are using the actions of a few idiotic skinheads to smear relations between 2 countries - it just doesn't work that way.

Re: Long live the Russian Federation!

Yes they are idiotic skinheads that are dangerous to all Caucasian immigrants - but I never said that their existence damages the historic relations between our 2 countries.

And I never said I don't like Iran. Just because I take a pragmatic approach to politics doesn't make me a anti-Iranian or pro-Azeri.

Hey, what is your problem Persopolis? Russia is our closest ally and if it wasn't for them, there would be no Armenians in South Caucasus left. Russia protects us with a military base and protects our borders with Turkey and Iran. They arm our armies and vitalise our economy. They are a much closer friend to us than Iran and Armenia trusts Russia more than any other country. Some idiot skin heads don't affect the historic alliance between Russia and Armenia. S

An Armenian friend, however, shared this with me: "I have studied, lived and worked in Russia and I just came back recently. Russia is one of the most tolerant countries I have been to."

(And seriously, I don't give a sh*t if you don't like Iran. It's up to your countrymen to take that issue up with you.)

Mos, Do you know who set me on a quest to find those videos -- here is a clue:

Moscow is a very expensive city, yes it's nice, but as an Armenian I would never want to live there knowing about those idiotic fascist skinheads.

It seems that you are having a hard time reading your own posts and mine:

Maybe it's true ... maybe. But there are plenty of other indications also ....



[Note: I put three videos in this spot that were prompted by another user here that which I thought showed crimes against Armenians. My original answer to him is above and below, questioning the contents of the video. ]

Re: Long live the Russian Federation!

Though I believe we should have good relations with Russia, we should also be careful that Russia does not sell us to the dogs when the time is right. Remember, Armenia to Russia is a vassal which it can manipulate for its own interests, especially given the fact it's trying to build its dominance in the South Caucuses. To achieve this it will maintain good relations with both Armenia and Azerbaijan, and get involved in the Karabakh process. Believing that Russia is our "savior" and that it's an unbreakable marriage or something is being a little naive. This is politics, countries do what's best for them even if it means betraying or selling an ally.

It's important to be careful of these kinds of attitudes also. (See video)

But to bring the discussion back to topic..

Armenia officially acknowledged on Monday that its armed forces are equipped with Russian-made surface-to-air missiles widely regarded as one of the world’s most potent anti-aircraft weapons.

The Defense Ministry in Yerevan said Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian visited one of the Armenian army’s anti-aircraft units and “familiarized himself with the work of the state-of-the-art S-300 air-defense systems” over the weekend. A ministry statement said he also inspected new facilities built there.

Originally designed in the Soviet Union in the late 1970s and repeatedly upgraded since then, the systems have a firing range of up to 200 kilometers. Their radars can simultaneously track up to 100 targets, including both aircraft and cruise missiles.

that's what I'm talking about...

Re: Long live the Russian Federation!

why would anyone with a choice live in a xxxxhole like moscow anyway. Too many people, xxxxty jobs, xxxxty pay, and the weather sucks. what's left?

You've got the wrong idea about Moscow, bud. It is one of the premier cities of the world, right up there with Tokyo, NYC, London, Paris, etc..

And in the summer the weather is quite nice. But yes, winter's are a b***h!
