Is Armenia that bad

[xcelr8Armo]

I’ve been told for a while now that Armenia is full of prostitutes or hookers and that it’s getting really bad there and not the best place to go and visit and certainly not the best place to find a wife because apparently Hayastansi's arn't as "Family Orientated" to the other Armenians.
What do you guys think? Is it that bad?

If it is then we should be ashamed because I would be.

Well, I went this summer to Armenia and did a prostitute. But, from what i saw, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Re: Is Armenia that bad

Armenians are like other people, we have bad ones but we have lots of good ones.
Let us concentrate on the good ones, our poets, musicians, composers, inventors, dancers, opera and non rabiz singers

Very, very exaggerated!!!, Armenia is a very good place for everything if you’re comparing it with the rest of the world, but it’s a different story if you’re comparing it with haven

Very blunt and honest, I like that.

To answer the question, since independence a lot of things got messed up, including some social norms, but the past decade they have started to get back on track. However, compared to other nations Armenia is one of the more conservative and still takes pride in its culture, religion, and is not ashamed to be nationalistic, unlike europeans especially in western europe.

But with globalization, and the spread of mtv culture, of course you are going to see an attempt by the powers that be to make Armenia is degenerate as the rest of Europe and America, and they have the capital plus resources to do just that.

Yet, it only takes people like us who really care about Armenia, who have morals, who want to keep Armenia Armenian, and not make it some mult- cultural wasteland, to better the nation and I think if we pool our collective resources together we can make it happen.


As a piece of advice, I would tell you to visit Armenia for yourself and come to your own conclusion, some Armenians from the Diaspora can be very stuck up when they are in Armenia, so I am not sure if it was one of these types who told you all this.

I remeber reading an article somwhere in the past few years, about armenia getting it's first adult novelty store and how aspects of life pertaining to adult sexuality is still somewhat taboo. So when in comparison to America, and other places it's not that bad, however prostitution can usually always be considered a bad thing no matter how little or big of a problem it is

Re: Is Armenia that bad

Due to the Armenia-Turkey match and events following, there were some news reports, interviews and stuff concerning Armenia on Turkish TV channels in the last week. On one of these reports I watched, when asked an Armenian professor explained his monthly salary was $50. It was very hard for me to believe. In my country a professor earns between $2000(state university) - $4000(private university) monthly and we are also considered an undeveloped/developing country. Then I read more about Armenia's economy and from what I understand Armenia is very very poor and none of the governments or diaspora have done anything to make it better.

Also there are more and more illegal Armenian immigrants coming to Turkey to work. The situation seems to be serious.

Well if you heard it on propaganda tv, then of course it must be true. Get out of here.

Armenia year in and year out has performed better than turkey in economic and GDP growth even with all the obstacles placed in front of it. I would like to see how turkey would perform if half of its borders were closed, if it was still in a state of war, if it lacked access to the sea, if it had 2 genocidal neighbors and no serious natural resources to speak of. Can you say central african republic?

Re: Is Armenia that bad

I came back from Armenia a week ago. To answer your question: Is it that bad? It's not bad at all. It's the safest country I've been to. Much safer than Europe. What you mention is a phenomenon that knows no boundaries, but still it is not a touchstone. All aspects taken into account, Armenia is much better than our "civilized" west.
