Re: Life in Armenia

But does anyone know how effective and efficient Armenia Fund is? Anyone have any knowledge of any corruption or misuse of funds?
I know they have pictures of some of their projects of the past on their site.

But not one picture of any accounts of expenditure or which contractors they have been giving their money to and for what services. "Armenia Fund, Incorporated, through contacts with its main affiliates, provides progress reports detailing financial costs and breakdowns to donors of special projects. By engaging in high levels of oversight measures, Armenia Fund continues to strengthen its trust amongst all donor levels." - In other words, for the "donor level" of anyone here, for anyone donating via their telephone fundrainsing drives, "you just have to trust us". Even if they are entirely trustworthy (and I have not heard anything to indicate that they are not), that attitude is not good enough.

So would it make you feel warm and fuzzy if they sent you a picture of a starving African child and hired Sally Struthers as a spokes person?

Anybody talking in those terms is serving (hostile) foreign interests.

Exactly. I've grown up with the same thing except between "Hayastansis" and "Parskahyes". It is not enough that we are surrounded by 100 million enemy Turks from all sides of our fragile nation, we have to create enemies among ourselves?

Biggest BS I read. I hope this is a joke.

Armenian women are tired of single rose wrapped in plastic: they want Ferrari, male strippers and vacation trips as gifts





March 07, 2012 | 22:55
The wishes of Armenian girls and women change year by year. Women, who previously wished for flowers, perfume and dinners at restaurants, want something more creative and bold now. Armenian News-NEWS.am conducted a small survey among women and the results prove the above mentioned facts.

Girls who are car lovers want Ferraris or Mazdas, more modest ones wish for dresses or xxxelry.

Lilith, 26, wishes to be in a Spanish coastal city or in one of Yerevan’s night clubs in order to choose the best stripper for her husband. Armine, 32, whishes a one week trip to London instead of a single rose wrapped in plastic.

Varduhi, 23, wishes that her beloved dances striptease for her.
