Your thoughts about the Great Geopolitical Game between the west and Russia, and how the former targets Armenia and employs turkey as its minion are very important and address a critical situation very few other sources are willing to discuss. It is important to counter the subversive and demoralizing bullshit from foreign-funded propaganda outlets and agents such as ara manoogian and company, armenianow, azatutyun, asbarez and even the mongols at hurriyet and apa.az who sometimes engage in the business of make-believe commentaries regarding Armenia. I still want to believe that not all of our co-diasporans are braindead lemmings or soulless sellouts, and that many of them independently realize at some point that the west isn't exactly promoting democracy as much as it is trying to subjugate Armenia. Once they are disconnected (much like in the movie The Matrix when Neo first takes the red pill), then this blog becomes very helpful in clarifying the situation as it exists for them.<br /><br />Of course if you want to attract more readers you can always embed a music player blasting Tupac (or is it Lil Wayne now?); add photos of gaudy looking luxury cars defaced with tacky add-ons and of course some links to porn never hurt.

I recall being in Armenia in 2004, the then Greek-owned ArmenTel's rates for service were outrageous, I'm glad the Russian (and even formerly Lebanese K-Telecom) telecom giants stepped and started Armenia down the path to development.<br /><br />Another example of positive development is the Armenian Aluminum plant known as ArmenAl. It became a subsidiary of RussAl, which in turn partnered with a German firm based in Aachen (I think the firm was called Aachenbach, but I'm not sure and I don't recall the nature of the partnership), but in a few short years the formerly idling ArmenAl plant was so productive that the EU slapped "dumping" fines on Armenian Aluminum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5608996291355843279.post-7203104178048776402012-06-29T11:06:28.525+04:002012-06-29T11:06:28.525+04:00Just a small succes story in Armenia, which shows ...Just a small succes story in Armenia, which shows the potential that exists in our nation... just a few years ago, Armenia lacked behind all South-Caucasus states regarding the telecommunications sector and the internet. After the liberalization, numerous telephone companies and internet providers were established in Armenia, and together with local (educated) Armenians, they have even won international awards on many occasions. The telecommunication sector is even more modern and developed than that of most European countries today. <br /><br />Even though the cable that links Armenia to the worldwide web goes through Georgia, for which we have to pay(!), internet acces has exploded in Armenia and prices are even more affordable than that of our neighbors (and yes, even more affordable than that of the "democratic" country which is called Georgia where no "monopolies" exist, although almost all major companies and industries are owned by friends of Saakashvili, including the telecommunications sector), which is quite amazing. <br /><br />Nevertheless, these kind of succes stories will never be shared amongst Armenians, as generally we only tend to spread negative stories and "facts" that show in which ways we lack behind our neighbors.<br /><br />Internet expensive in Georgia<br />By Messenger Staff<br />Thursday, June 28<br />IT analysts suggest that Georgia pays more for the internet than the other neighboring S. Caucasus countries and even Russia. In comparison, Georgia pays more than 10 USD for 1 megabyte of Internet package, whereas for the same amount Armenia pays around 2.5 USD, Azerbaijan around 5.7 USD and Russia 3 USD. There is a monopoly of major internet providers: Caucasus Online and Silknet. However, the service is not always satisfactory and there are some customer complaints. Other small providers hold around 20% of total market. <br /><br />http://www.messenger.com.ge/issues/2638_june_28_2012/2638_econ_one.htmlConcerned Armeniannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5608996291355843279.post-40467093765657210702012-03-13T01:24:32.294+04:002012-03-13T01:24:32.294+04:00I don't entertain lowlifes.
