Predictions for 2005

[HyeJinx1984]

Kharabagh peace settlement-subesquent opening of Turkish/Azeri borders-subsequent 20+ percent increase in Armenian GDP in the following year-subsequent refunneling of 50% of military budget to social sector-subsequent drop in poverty/unemployment
I start college

Don't get my hopes up.

i dont like spewing senseless crap, but from what i have been reading lately, i feel there is actually a good chance it will get settled by the end of next year, the resolution might not be as good for Armenia but i believe an agreement will be signed.

Yes I agree. I won't say it for sure, but it's certainly a possible prediction. We'll see what happens with the talks in mid-January. If they go well, then a settlement in 2005 is certainly possible. And Karabakh will get a referrendum to determine its future.

I heard about the referendum also.
What will they be voting on? To stay independant or join Armenia?

Is going back to Azerbaijan an option?

Gee, an actual vote? If those Armenians vote to give it back to Azerbaijan it will be the funniest election. Sadly.

well you would think it would be since the azerbaijanees are sponsoring hte referendum as part of the peace deal from what i can understand. But obviously it wouldnt be much of a popular option, so i doubt what the point would be to put it in unless they were gonna bring hte azeri refugees back in

2004 is gone. Good riddance. 2005 is here. My forecast is simply that 2005 will either be better or worse than 2004, some people will die, hell maybe even nuclear war. It may involve Don King, or just King Kong, or a tsunami in Hong Kong, but it may not. It will also rain somewhere. I may be going out on a limb here, but it's a risk I'm willing to take.

lol... I just find it hard to beleive.

I dont see an Armenian voting to belong to Azerbaijan...?

I do predict that Baku will become safe for us again although within this year may be a little too optimistic.

Both good and bad things will happen countless numbers of times, I just hope that more good than bad.

I hope that all of you guys have a peaceful and successful year! Myself included of course
