Mher you are operating under the misconception that mods visit this forum, read what we post, and care about making this a good place for people to communicate...you really gotta work on getting rid of your false assumptions.

To the Moderators of the Forum:

Would it be possible to combine this and the Current Condition of Armenia thread since they discuss the same topic

Maxx HyeJeans, Made in Armenia clothes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gvehcCzc0s#

a Syrian-Armenian started a company of promoting made in Armenia clothes, employing 25 people

A little something for the typical:
(1) It's hopeless in Armenia, start a business in Armenia and the mafia will come asking for its cut/burn down your business/ [Insert bullsh*t statement]
(2) Conditions are horrid in Armenia for Syrian Armenians, they are ill treated, they can't wait to leave
(3) Armenia has no self-pride, and the market is sure to be dominated by Turkish made goods

Re: Life in Armenia

Quick question. I heard that the average salary in Armenia is 135-138,000 drams a month. Does that seem correct?

someone currently in Armenia would be better suited to answer, but it seems about right to me

INFANT MORTALITY RATE IN ARMENIA SLASHED BY 16 PERCENT OVER THREE YEARS TO 9.8 CASES PER EACH 100,000

YEREVAN, February 7. / ARKA /. The infant mortality rate in Armenia
has slashed by 16 percent over the last three years to 9.8 cases
per each 100,000 children, down from 10.7 in 2012 and 11.6 in 2011,
Karine Saribekyan, head of the maternal and child health department
of the health ministry said today.

Speaking at a news conference she said the number of maternal mortality
has dropped by 17 percent when compared to 2008-2010, when the rate
was 23.2 per 100,000 women during pregnancy, childbirth and after
it. In 2013 the figure was 19.2.

She attributed the decline to a string of government-financed programs
to detect asymptomatic diseases at earlier stages.

According to the National Statistical Service (NSS), 411 cases of
infant mortality were reported in 2013, down from 458 in 2012. Also
last year 41,770 babies were born, up from 42,480 in 2012. -0-

Re: Life in Armenia

I do not think you heard the president's words or read my comments.

This has nothing to do with capitalism or socialism.
There are capitalist countries that are corrupt an not so corrupt.
The same for socialist countries, it all depend on governance.

What is ( laughably ) pathetic is he says we will get the leaders ( or the heads ) forgetting him and the guy sitting next to him
are the “heads” therefore fully responsible for state affairs.

.

No i got it all fine and i agree with what you are saying about the "heads". I also agree with "it depends on the governance" but my point is capitalism leads to the oligachical structure which is the root of this issue.

Re: Life in Armenia

What is pathetic is that these issues exist but the fact that they are brought up in that format could mean something may finely be done about some of them. Dont expect miracles but some things are improving and probably will continue to but the heart of the problem (corruption) will not and cannot go away so long as capitalism reigns in Armenia at the expense of all else.

Re: Life in Armenia

Anybody who thinks corruption levels are not at unacceptably high levels should listen to this.

However whilst it is obvious that Serge is pushing the blame on to HIS incompetent prime minister,
he is also showing lack of leadership by not replacing HIS prime minister for failing to deliver after four years but
instead insisting he should deliver.

Just pathetic.
