Re: Politics in Hayastan

As I stated, the Way out Alliance is the youngest party as I know (foundation was 2015) and they're prime leader is Edmon marukyan at age 36, and the second youngest I know is Vigen sargssyan at age 42 I think.

Have not read or know their platform. If you could post it please.

Here's his website

Mr Marukyan's Bright Armenia led party founded in 2015

http://www.brightarmenia.am/en/1/785/.htm/ There pretty much a bunch of young human rights activists wanting to get Armenia more democratic and less corrupt and leave the Russian the Eurasian Union and gain better relations with the EU.

Pros.
They truly want to fix the country and make it less corrupt than what it is.

Cons.
They may potentially have little experience in Armenian politics and know little about the Armenia's political problems.

I had a quick glance and find this party talking about human values and European values and membership.
Nothing about our national values or nation building.
If someone says this government is bad because compare to European values... For me is a meaningless, populist and externally driven ideology, never potent enough to turn the stones to build our country.


I need a party that will say "this is what future Armenia will be for all ARMENIANS and this is what needs to be done". Clear and loud.
European values are maybe the best around, but they don't cut in our neighborhood.
There can be only one value and goal for any nation. Not like a quilt that everybody sews a piece of patch on it, specially copying anything that looks good.

I agree with the nation building. I do not think that Armenia should ONLY be for Armenians though. Diversity and multiculturalism are important things in a society.

I anderstand what you are talking, but the nation building has to have a name. Building Armenia does not mean excluding others.
Nobody says let's build America for everybody else. It's "build America for Americans". But under word Americans it is understood every kind of local and emigrant considering themselfs Americans.
Same way France or Russia. It becomes racist if word "only" is included on ethnic ground.
We build Armenia for Armenians. Whomever that Armenian citizen can be. Yezidi, Diasporan or others, as long as they consider themselfs Armenia's citizens.

Re: Politics in Hayastan

I just read in news that our government started banning "illegal Turkish tomato imports". Pay attention, this follows "illegal azeri apple imports", the pill they could not shove down nation's throat.
The tomatos? Ohoooooo....
Since the beginning of Robert Kocharian's administration tomato farming got smashed and wiped out in Armenia by Turkish imports that nobody could "stop or catch".
In 1970s Armenia exported 2-3000 tons of tomatos to northern soviet republics daily from May till end of September. But for past 20 years the powerful robbery sindicate of our's killed local farming by importing from turkey.
All for money.
Now they are congratulating public with "big news" of banning Turkish tomatos. I assume the result of "investigation". After almost 20 years.

Armenian authorities are unbelievable short sighted and crude. They and everyone else can benefit by being fair and thinking for the long term. They don't.
