There's always a critic...Old Yerevan is a dilapidated soviet mess and needs to change. It's called progress and long term vision, somthings Armenians are good at.
Armenians built Tiblisi, Beruit, Constantinople...now were builing our own city -for us. Get over it.

It sickens me how you guys are completly unaware of these problems in Armenia.

Last Year, 500 people were displaced and made homeless because of xxxx like this.

Yah, construction, its called "kicking existing families out of their homes so they can give consutruction jobs to people who suck the governments xxxx on a daily basis."

What else is new in this world of ours?

Nonetheless, I am gald those Third World garbage ridden slums are being done away with for good. All those who "champion" the plight of these slum dwellers are basically manipulators who take advantage of poor sociological situuations to promote anti-government sentiments in Yerevan. These folk are nothing but the tools of Washigton DC and Ankara.

Show me a non-currupt government anywhere on earth. Take a close look at the governments in Washington DC, Moscow, Paris, Rome, Tel Aviv, etc. What makes you think Armenian politicians have to be Saints? I am not making excuses for the numerous faults of the current administration. However, you, as a responsible person, need to be objective and look at things with a more balanced perspective. For better or for worst, Kocharyan and company are the best we have today. The bottom line is our borders are secure. Artsakh is safe. Yerevan is developing closer ties with Russia, Iran and the EU. The economy is growing. Yerevan is blossoming. The social/political climate is calm. And a middle class is slowing begining to emerge.

Its funny how we Armenians want nothing but perfection. A city has to grow and modernize. If you want to put things in a proper perspective go and study how your city of New York grew. I'm sorry to say, we live in reality and in reality not everything in Armenia is perfect or can be perfect. Yeah, perhaps the relocation of these slum dwellers could have been better organized. Nonetheless, our Yerevan is growing and blossoming today.

Construction is everywhere in Yerevan:

Those are worthless pictures (worth being measured in non-economic value). Go take those anywhere. Might as well just link to any construction site. Destruction of historical landmarks to build crap doesn't qualify as worth posting, to me.

I'll keep looking.

(Sarcastic, off topic "Tangent"--sorry Anonymouse!) Many times people have been funded to act like a local in order to do not good things... Oops, did I spill some beans? I'll keep looking at pics.

Honestly, this pisses me off. Tell me, crusader1492, why you are here?

My intuition, and other sources, say that you are not at all a genuine person.

I tease people who I like but don't agree with... I call out those who just lie.

What's in your panties this time? Now construction is evil?

No.

True, I don't like historic places destroyed for some cheap 'economic' crap... but that wasn't my point. My point was that this guy is a slimy spy (no metaphor there--he's paid to do what he is doing.)

[Edit: in case that wasn't clear. HE is a LITERAL spy. HE was hired to be here, and in Armenia... oops... did I spill your beans (jackass?)]
