Re: Long live the Russian Federation!

Moscow, and to a lesser extent St Petersburg, Nizhniy Novgorod, Ekaterinburg..etc attract people
because Russia has become an important exporter of commodities. There is money in Russia now,
but in the hands of a minority

what you say is correct, but enterprising folk have become successful in Moscow, and that
includes "Azeris" - there is a Moscow restaurant chain called Shesh-Besh, operated by those guys

A lot of people have benefited, but many Russian have not. If you have money, Russia is not
a bad place. There are many shopping malls, luxury products from around the world and a big
choice of restaurants

If you are a businessman you can make money. Workers' salaries are low

Thats capitalism for you!

A lot of people have benefited, but many Russian have not.

This is a large part of the reason why Russian nationalism is on the rise. As is the case in much of Europe, the Russian are sick of foreigners and crooks feeding off them.

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!

Re: Long live the Russian Federation!

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.

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!

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)

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!

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
