Elections in Armenia

Re: Presidential elections 2008 in Armenia

Armenian, I share your pain.

Thank you, comrade. I am deeply-deeply troubled by these recent developments. Forget about this freaky asswipe, he is just a little assgiver crying out for attention. What I'm deeply concerned about are those in our nation who are 'worshiping' Levon today as if he is a demigod. They are disgusting to the core. It's simply amazing how irrational, twisted, hateful and destructive their movement is. It feels as if an evil force has descended upon a significant portion of our population today. Perhaps I am imagining things but to me they are like zombies, they even have a certain cold/blank 'stare' in their eyes. I have never before seen this much irrational hate, misplaced anger and suicidal tendencies. Just several days ago I even overheard some Levonakans in New York City talking about conducting terrorist activities in Yerevan, such as blowing up residential buildings in Yerevan. Where did these vile demons all of a sudden come from? This whole ordeal has been very disturbing for me.

Re: Presidential elections 2008 in Armenia

The majority of the who participated in the pro-Levon protests are people who are dissatisfied with their relatively low-standard living conditions, and not ideological supporters of Levon, but people who are sick and tired of their conditions, and the current authorities cannot be defended either because it is they who have given cause for mass dissatisfaction. While I am far from being a supporter of Levon, the situation in Armenia can be described as rule by force. By any account, Armenia needs stability at all times.

The masses are sheeple and have to be ruled by force.

Armenian, you were talking about "democracy" in the west above. I know you know this, but it could be misleading the reader -- there is no "democracy" in the west. There is a nice myth and underhanded manipulation. In Russia, Belarus, Armenia, things are a bit more straight forward. Much less of a show is put on for the populace.

RA government too primitive to recognize LTP was not the cause of March 1, that it was the result of their overzealous reaction from an inability to understand that people may petition their government through their right to assembly. http://www.armenialiberty.org/press/...DBC62AF67E.ASP

The Kocharian regime began a decade ago, yesterday; how long shall it continue? http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Quirks/..._almanac/3505/

Armenia emigration between 1991-2005 is estimated at between more than 500 thousand to a little over a million; the majority leaving for Russia. The remainder to other CIS states and Europe with approximately 4%-8% (based on which estimate you follow) migrating to the U.S. (not just LA but the whole of the continent). Those leaving were mostly consistent for grounds for doing so: no work/future, crumbling Sovietized infrastructure, poor quality of life, lack of vision with very few leaving for unstable atmosphere (social, moral or psychological) or geopolitical instability. Other reasons included the NKR conflict in 1991 and the 88 Earthquake tragedy. And, those leaving during LTP's tenure likely wanted to leave during Soviet regime for reasons that (poor infrastructure and economy) persisted since that regime and appear to continue to this day.

Stupid one, most of the greatest nations on earth are, or have been until recently, constitutional monarchies. You want some examples of current constitutional monarchies, asswipe? Here you go: Japan, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, England, Spain, Andorra, Denmark, Norway, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Thailand, Monaco, Morocco and Jordan. Please, I change my mind, put you head back up your ass - that's where it naturally belongs.

Asswipe, there are several surviving remnants of Armenia's ancient nobility live and well in Europe and Russia. But I don't think that would be the wisest route to go. I personally would also like to see the Katolikos given a duel role, Արքա համենայն հայոց և հոգեվոր հայրապետ: - king of all Armenians and spiritual patriarch. Etchimadzin then transforms into Armenia's royal throne, as it were in ancient times under the name of Vagharshapat. The Cilician Patriarch can then act as the Katolikos. In reality, Saint Gregory's line is preserved in the Cilician Patriarchate, not in Etchmiadzin. There are ways to achieve this, it just requires an organized effort. I would personally pursue the above noted agenda even if it meant alienating/loosing a majority of Armenia's diasporan population. So, if asswipes like you don't like it, too bad. Just bask in the reality of knowing that when you die your remains will pollute foreign lands and not Armenia.

You are more obnoxious than Abe Foxman. Just shut-up for once.

If you felt that your argument was stronger than Armenian's, you wouldn't alway feel compeled to react in a tit-for-tat fashion.

Your acting like an ill-bred child that consumes way to much sugar.

Anyway, here is some advice for you: Less is More.
