Economic growth in Armenia!

[phantom]

Good thing it's closed too with this avian flu going around Turkey. Reduces the chance of importing infected Turkish poultry.

Kebabji Kemal, you're living in a dream world. Read the travel blogs and you'll see what travellers to Armenia are saying about its beauty, its friendly people, and the cosmopolitan city that Yerevan has become. You wish Armenia was going into the toilet, nothing would make you happier. But your ancestors ensured the survival of the Armenian nation by doing a sloppy job of Genocide and letting some of our ancestors get away. In the free societies where our ancestors found themselves, they flourished. Now all of that experience, knowledge, political power, and cash baby cash, that we have amassed outside of Turkey is flowing to Armenia, and it will never stop until Armenia becomes the Switzerland of the Caucasus. That is the goal.

You think we don't care about Armenia, how do you suppose that Armenia has survived for the past 15 years with Turkey and Azerbaijan trying to choke it death? Turkey and its ugly stepchild Azerbaijan may have natural resources, but we have limitless human resources spread to all four corners of the Earth where your warplanes and war tanks are useless. So put a rest to your psychotic Panturkic dreams and learn to live with your Armenian neighbors.

Also, I'd like to order 3 plates of kadin budu kofte, please have it delivered to my office right away!

Well the experts said this week that it seems Armenia is doing so well, and Turkey is doing so poorly, that opening the border may hurt Armenia and really benefit only Turkey. I'd say leave the border shut. And this actually has everything to do with the Genocide. These Turks want to choke the Armenian people in continuing efforts to exterminate them, but more importantly they closed the border some fifteen years ago to try to silence our demands for justice in the Armenian Genocide. This article proves that we will not allow their border blackmail to work with us. Hats off to those who make this continued growth possible. Hats off to the diaspora for never giving up, for buying plane tickets, for visiting Armenia, for sending money, clothes and aid. Hats off to the survivors of our national tragedy - and EVERY survivor since. Every Armenian is a survivor - Turkey will never take away our right to live, our right to our homeland, our right to our culture. And after all of it, we only have ourselves to thank.

Thank you...

Thank YOU Hovik.

What you are doing with those dams is you are destroying thousands of years of kurdish,armenian,assyrians and much more civilizations.

It's not the fault of the Kurds that we have a beautifal civilization of thousand of years old. And you Turks are so paphetic to say that Kurds are nothing more than Turks hahaha you Turks don't even have a culture you stole from the Kurds and persians and greek and armenians.

If you can easily distinguish a Turk from a Kurd who are pretty alike in terms of apperance by just talking(the same language) , it simply means that our cultures vary from each other, regardless how they are affected from each other. Please, if you are going to debate about something, say something that matters. Turkish nation is not pathetic not only that, a nation can not be pathetic. Kurds are a people, Turks are a people (full stop)
