Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
You are 18 years old, yet have lived in Armenia for several years, but are not an Armenian citizen. Something does not add up. I am from Armenia, I go there once or twice a year, and the vast majority of my extended family lives in Armenia.
There is corruption in all countries. You will never get rid of corruption, the point is to keep it in check and at a level where it does not ruin society.
I don't like or dislike Tsarukyan. I was stating a fact. I have friends from Abovyan and what I told you is from them, and from other residents of that city.
Again, I never said oligarchs are beneficial. But all nations have them, it is just that in Eastern Europe, Middle east, Africa, Latin America, and Central Asia, they are more crass than their cousins in North America or Western Europe.
No, geography is a determining factor. If Armenia had more resources, or was larger, or in a more friendly geopolitical environment, we would less problems. Interestingly enough, if Armenia were a subservient client state to the West, like much of Eastern Europe, or Georgia, it could continue to act the way it does but you would hear significantly less criticism from those reptiles in suits that claim to speak about human rights and democracy promotion. For example, the mafia in Bulgaria is very influential and the government there is quite corrupt too, but since it is a NATO and EU member, you do not have all the Western operatives present furthering a psy-op campaign. The 'Georgian model' is a chimera, a house of cards that will come crashing down as soon as that imbecile Saakashvilli is removed from office.
You said you will be interning at the ANCA, which is under the American branch of the ARF. And I do not consider the ARF a nationalist party any longer. At least not their American and Canadian branches, which leads me to suspect the rest of the party as well.
