SARGSYAN RE-ELECTED AS ARMENIA'S PRESIDENT - EXIT POLLS
Serzh Sargsyan has been elected for a second 5-year term in office as
Armenia's President, according to exit polls after election day Monday.

The surveys show that the incumbent has gathered some 58% of the vote,
against main contender, former Foreign Minister Raffi Hovannisian,
who got some 32%.

That's no indoor plumbing for Armenia for at least another 5 years.

Re: Elections in Armenia

So the new excuse given by stinky Armenians for not washing is no longer that the Georgians smell even worse (since they aren't so smelly now, after they elected to install indoor plumbing) but that some long-dead Americans were even smellier.

Its not an excuse-but it is the reality of capitalism. Perhaps you prefer i use Donald Trumph as a more time/relevant example? I am quite sick of ignorent people saying bs like o look countries like Norway have it all right with capitalism and democracy working togather blah blah blah..Like they overlook glaring facts that Norway has a huge golden egg in the north sea in the form of oil. I do not mind comparing things as long as you compare apples with apples and not apples with oranges. Btw im not so stincky today-pipes are not frozen.

If the outcome of the election is in line with the exit polls, that
would mean that Sargsyan is re-elected at the first round.

Re: Elections in Armenia

Those dodgy characters were there before Serj and will be there after Serj. These characters are a natural part of capitalism America had Rockafeller we got Dodi Gago-America had J.P. Morgan we got Rubo. As for the Shaakashvily types going extinct - well i wouldn't count on it. There will always be someone looking to profit at the expense of his people.

So the new excuse given by stinky Armenians for not washing is no longer that the Georgians smell even worse (since they aren't so smelly now, after they elected to install indoor plumbing) but that some long-dead Americans were even smellier.

Re: Elections in Armenia

Vahram,
You do realize that the rail link won't be operational before a minimum 10 years, at best.... since not even the definit plan is validated.
It's at the stage of studies yet...
Only a very strong will, and endless financial and material means would make it faster. (The kind of wich the red army or the wehrmacht possessed)
None is present to day, and frankly speaking, the lack of haste is more on our side... (I do not justify this, I think is silly, but things being what they are...)

Just to compare with, look the time necessary for a much simpler link, between Tiflis and Kars, with big financial means available, and the political will of 2 states, one of wich at least very determined and organised...

It will take a longtime because the longer it takes, the more money the criminals can make. I can't see any other reason for this unneeded railway to Iran other than lining the pockets of the corrupt.

Or maybe it is a masterful Azeri plan to bankrupt Armenia ... first give lots of money (which Azerbaijan has plenty of) to Georgia to build their own unneeded railway to Kars ... then con Armenia into thinking this stupid Tibilisi-Kars railway is of strategic importance and so requires an equivalent strategic response by Armenia in the form of building their own unneeded new railway.

Re: Elections in Armenia

I am definitely not against the rail link.
I am 1000% for it.
All I say, this is not going to happen next year....

Ok let it happen 7 years from now. So what? Did we die after 20 years of independence?...NO So we can wait a few more years for this rail link.

Concerning Russia's interest, I see no tangible elements in what you say.
If we look into the details, we would see more restraint, if not counter arguments (i.e their role on Astara rail link...)

Geo political considerations change with the value of the object. The more the object is worth the more the politico's want a cut of the action. Let them all talk sh!t now when things are worth X, let them start talking sh!t when it is worth y! Cha ching!

Re: Elections in Armenia

Vrej, hokiss, you were against the sheep thing because of the toork. Now are you for opening this border or not?

I don't care if it takes 20 years the bottom line is that not only Russia, but China and Iran are behind it do you really think this will take 10 years? Geopolitical games are afoot. Surely after 1000+ years of dealing with this suljuk mofo's we can wait another 10 year no? I will wait 50 more years, I will most likely be dead by then, but I will hold my breath just the same!

Getze Hayastan!

-------------------
The sheep affair as it is planned today is just a fundamentally anti Armenian, and I pretend also anti iranian plan, and any sound Armenian would be against...
I am sure, countering that plan before it turns to reality (= blood shedding in our mountains) won't harm at all interstate relations...
Liska and some other corrupted oligarkho-mafiosniks will get a little less richer, and our mutual enemies will regret the lost opportunity... that's all.
