You don't have to explain yourself to the pillow-biting cat. Everyone knows he's a Turk.

Well, obviously, he is not a turk. He is just an aloof, condeceding, stuck up - thinks he knows everything and he will save the world - Scoty.

Well,if he's not a Turk, he's still a pillow-biter. Agreed?

Hmm

Transparent Turk: don't pretend that you care about Armenian culture and people...you don't and we all know it. Your cynical, specious and contemptable posts are overt evidence of that.

Quite an ironic post from crusader1492, in my opinion. Honest--please be that. Would you like a MIRROR?

Re: Pictures from my trip to Armenia

I dont know why anyone would defend the process that is going on in Yerevan right now.
Any impetus this is giving to the economy in general is going tenfold into the pockets of Kocharian and Sarkissian and the diasporans and Persians that had the money to pay them and the city authorities off. these kerac xemats shanvortik get fatter and fatter while poor old women are thrown out of their homes without even 1/2 of the compensation they are entitled to.

Noone here is saying that development is a bad thing, at least i hope noone is saying this, but the process is a$$fukking our normal society. We could have this and so much more for our beautiful country if we could just all unite and start giving a crap about corruption and these bastards sucking the blood and life out of our country. Yes the country is moving ahead, but Armenia could be moving ahead 10 steps instead of one if the fat bastards werent terrorizing and pillaging our potential.

Stop stupidly fighting each other and lets recognize the "elephant in the room". our country is mired in corruption and by ignoring it to create a nice facade for our nation we are only slowing ourselves down and letting those bastards that dare make a profit at the peoples expense get richer and richer and more powerful.

The few that are making a lot of money out of the present situation would defend it, and want it to continue.
Those sort of people are represented on this forum by the likes of Armenian and Crusader.

Well, if you like the development process then you should realize that somebody going to get reach out of it. That’s the way it works everywhere.

Of course corruption exists; name me a government of the country that is not corrupted. We need to realize that our county got independence from soviets not too long ago and corruption that we have inherited is not going to go away overnight. The progress is obvious.

Just because corruption might have been a bit worse before and is prevalent in other countries doesnt mean its ok. If we just sit there and not give a crap and hope everything will get better nothing will. Yes there is corruption elsewhere, no it is usually not as bad as in Armenia.

Why is everyone going to great lenghts to defend these officials and this process. What the hell have they ever done for you? If anyone thinks Armenia's welfare has been this administration's top priority they are sadly mistaken.

Re: Pictures from my trip to Armenia

Tigran,

No one is defending corruption...it is evil. You are sitting back and chided posters for liking what they see (i.e contraction/revitalization) in Yerevan. What I'm trying to say is be part of the solution to end corruption. Posting rebukes to Yerevan's contraction boom serves no purpose.

PS, before yo say "what are YOU doing about the problem"...well, I'm moving to Yerevan and I'm going to do my best to change the lackadaisical attitude concerning corruption among the public. The more diasporans Armenians who do this, the better...things will get better.

Re: Pictures from my trip to Armenia

Destruction of historical places as some said.... huh? Could you please repeat that? I lived in Yerevan and have never been in the "historical" places where the North Avenue is being built now.... It was like a getto. And I know couple of families (personally) who got VERY GOOD APARTMENTS with a luxury modeling, so I'd ask people not to complain. They got a nice apartments instead of their old, old, old shelters. Those who have been living in that area were so poor (90% of them) that they even couldn't do the smallest remodeling in their homes, and now they've got cool appartments. And talking about living in the center... C'mon guys, from every point in yerevan you can get to center in maximum 30 minutes... so let's not speak about it.
