What's wrong with you people? How can you sit here and state that somehow a monopoly is a good thing and now that it's disappearing its gloom and doom?

Good riddens, let the market thrive and the highest bidder please offer money now!

Re: Armenia slipping away?

Guys unfortunately, ever since privatization, many unique Armenian services and productions have been sold to foreign companies. I'm more saddened with the sale of Yerevan Brandy company (Ararat congac) and Armenia's railroad and etc. If it's not the Russians, it's the French or the Germans. The sad reality is that Armenian bussinessmen have little capital and infrustructure to own their own businesses. Of course, the alternative is even worse: freeze up of said services and production. Our generation needs to get successful and rich, so we may buy back our economy from foreign conglomerates.

Yeah, for the time being, it will stimulate our economy... We couldn't do it on our own as a post-soviet state, might as well give this a try.

Precisely.

Once Armenia's economy is more stimulated, and capital flows and investment continues, it will uplift the economy and many younger entreperneurs from Armenia and abroad will have more reason and more capital to invest and buy back all these things.

At this point, monopolies will be unhealthy and bad for consumers and the economy. Why settle for mediocre ends when a foreign company who has the capital and money to keep the services going?

Over half a century of Soviet socialistic protectionism and Armenians still don't get it any more than other people ignorant of economics. Protectionism, monopolies, tariffs, all harm the economy and people within it. It's about damn time I say.

Of coarse Russia is going to. Why the hell wouldn't they? If you were Russia you'd try to control as much as you can as well, Armenia is quite an easy target given her geostrategic position.

Anyway, one step at a time. The most important thing is demographics, maybe Russian companies in Armenia will keep employment for Armenians and keep Armenians in Armenia. Besides there are other perks Armenia enjoys, like protection from Turks, and cheaper weapons, officer training.
