Life in Armenia

Re: Life in Armenia

Bro I didnt know you were signing in from Greece. Welcome to the wonderful EU you asked for it now deal with it. I feel bad for you but I laugh in the face of any Armenian that is stupid enough to want EU membership. I say to them forget about England, Germany and France and take a good loooooooooooooong look at Greece, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria I tell them. As bad a Greece is today with everything like German takeover, unemployment, immigration and corruption, it will be a million times worst for us if Armenia joins EU.

-------- you asked for it, now deal with it -----------
Not everyone is FORTUNATE to have the options of the privileged.
You do not know what Ur Mistakes options were that led him to where he is today.
A rather callaced and inconsiderate thing to say to someone you don't know.
After being attacked repeatedly by how many and then weakened and overran by the seljuks, then culminating in 1915/1923 and continuing in one form or fashion to this day. Many of YOUR countrymen have been left in a compromised position NOT of their choosing.
Words like you spoke I expect from the george bushes of this world. Of course his daddy could cover his a$s since day one.
--------- there but for fortune stands you or I ---------

And unlike Armenia there isn't a 2-3X Diaspora to support those in the country living through unemployment. The immigration situation is out of control in Greece. How much of the hundreds of millions of Afghanis, Pakis and Arabs can 10 million Greeks be expected to hold.

Re: Armenia

I must note the relationship between the unemployment rate and the overall Armenian economy is fairly peculiar seeing how unemployment was its best during the horrid 2008-11 stretch at the time of the Global Collapse.

Report: Unemployment level in Armenia reaches 18.64%

January 22, 2014 | 12:35

In 2013 the unemployment level in Armenia reached 18.64%, shows the Global Unemployment Trends 2014 report published by International Labour Organization.

The report says in general, unemployment levels are significantly higher in the Central and South-Eastern Europe (non-EU) subregion than in the CIS subregion, where only Armenia is recording high unemployment rates (17.3 per cent in 2012).

Unemployment rate in neighboring Georgia made 14.3% and in Azerbaijan – 5.5%. The report indicates an increase of the unemployment rate in Turkey and the Russian Federation.

According to the report, almost 202 million people were unemployed in 2013 around the world, an increase of almost 5 million compared with the year before. Young people continue to be particularly affected by the weak and uneven recovery. The global youth unemployment rate has reached 13.1 per cent, which is almost three times as high as the adult unemployment rate.

Re: Life in Armenia

Axper jan cavd tanem du hasganum es. I was born in USA. I grew up here and I love it here. Now I also see US is becoming a danger to the world and Armenia. Im living in a big rich powerful empire so of course there will be more "opportunities" over here than over there. Bro Armenia is just starting off in a very bad neighborhood in very bad situations. But Armenia is my homeland I love her in my heart and I love US with my brain. it like US is my wife I can divorce one day but Armenia is my mother. good or bad mother will be mother. Many years ago my father told me something that always stayed in my head. a few years ago I told him that US is the best country in the world. He asked me why I think that. like and idiot I said to him because everyone one is working and is happy. He said if US looks good its because in 20th century many parts of the world was destroyed because of American (western) politics and their riches and their people were brought here to US benefit. My dad had to leave Armenia after the earthquake when the Soviet system was falling in 1989 and he was unemployed so he came here so he can provide for us but his heart is there and he takes us there regularly. So yeah I live here because of worlds condition today but I see this place is also declining slowly so I dont see future her for me. I really hope to live in Armenia one day.

Perish the thought that anyone would pour scorn on a country where they study or work, I'm just thankful that you never do that.

That study,work or it's location may have been decided for them by outside forces which could be economical, educational or parental, who knows?

You certainly don't know Serjik or his circumstances but I'm not surprised you don't let that stop you being an expert on him, why change the habits of a lifetime?

Re: Life in Armenia

This thread is about Life in Armenia, not about you whineing about your life in America. (Strange you chose to study there, [B]while in other threads [/B]you pour your scorn on that country. But that's not unusual for your sort, I've seem lots like you in this forum over the years, and I'm sure you will never leave America).

Re: Armenia

The most valuable asset of any nation is its people.
More so when it is not blessed with natural resources.

The type of people that migrate are on average the young families, the ambitious, self-reliant etc,
attributes in its people that makes a country and its nation successful.

The impact on the remaining population is just the reverse. It looses its driving (youth) force to success.
The population age (mean) rises therefore "ages quicker".
It also looses the age group that contributes to the new ( next) generation, (birth rate).

To actually gloat that everybody else are similar or worse than us is like saying
my adversary has a bigger cancer tumour than me therefore I am better off.

Just like it is necessary to acknowledge short comings, you need to acknowledge the positives that exist too. The fact that Armenia ranks in the top half of such a ranking is a positive however you want to phrase it. It had nothing to do with the nature of immigration, or the numbers, or anything else.
