Just read some of their comments, its enough to make your blood boil. I'm amazed at how many absolute asswipes we have amongst us. Don't allow their voices to be the only ones heard. Get involved.

As a true military officer with good "nationalist" intentions Jirayr Sefilian should have kept himself within the clearly defined structures of the Armenian armed forces and work on its battle efficiency and preparedness.
Military men belong in the military not in politics. Bravery on the battlefield can not be an excuse to carryout highly irresponsible acts that threaten the wellbeing of the state in peace time. As such, Sefilian was a brave war hero, however, he ruined his credentials simply by siding with the treasonous criminals of the Levon Petrosian camp.
Forget the evidence (although its there), just pay attention to the violent rhetoric used by Sefilian. Such rhetoric won't be allowed by any government on earth. See what would happen to a US servicemen/citizen if they dared to even mildly threaten the US president over any matter, let alone serious geopolitical issues.

The real issue here is not sociopolitical concerns, they are geopolitical. Yes, there are many sociopolitical matters that need to be addressed in Armenia but this can only happen in time, gradually and it will require peace and stability in the Caucasus.
A fledgling nation, tiny, landlocked, without natural wealth, surrounded by enemies, will take a very long time before it can securely stand on its feet. As a matter of fact, it will most probably require Armenia several generations, and an inherently peaceful neighborhood, before it can stabilize and begin to prosper.
Does this mean however that in the meantime every asshole on the street in Armenia with an empty pocket should be allowed by the authorities to attempt a bloody coup d'etat every few years? Does this means that every idiot in the diaspora that wants Armenians to "live like westerners" be allowed to support an uprising in Armenia every few years?
Armenia needs political evolution not western inspired revolution. Our collective ignorance and irrationality may just end up destroying our republic.
By not supporting the Republican party in Armenia today we are in essence supporting the treasonous HHSh party. If the Republican party gets overthrown, it is the Levonakans that will replace them - no one else. It's that simple.
And in such a scenario, I rather give the house keys to Moscow...

It's absolute lunacy to compare the living standards of the West to that of a tiny, landlocked, poor nation surrounded by enemies in the Caucasus.
The reason why you in the West enjoy a high standard of living is because for centuries the modus operandi of the West has been severe corruption, genocide, slavery and wars of conquest. The aforementioned has essentially made the West immensely wealthy. And for the past several decades this immense wealth has been trickling down to the average westerner. How dare you attempt to teach the rest of the world now what democracy and freedom are? Do you people even understand the world you live in?
If all you well intentioned assholes keep this up you are surly going to destroy Armenia with your ignorance and irrationality. I can only hope that the next time the likes of you try to cause instability in Armenia the authorities will have the courage to crush down harder.
Nonetheless, there is more freedom in Armenia than there is in a place like North America. Only in Armenia can tens of thousands of low-intellect rioters and their treasonous organizers take to the street and attempt a bloody coup d'etat. You try doing that in the US and see what will happen. As a matter of fact, you try threatening the US president and see what will happen.
ARMENIA NEEDS SOCIOPOLITICAL EVOLUTION NOT WESTERN INSPIRED REVOLUTION!!!
