regarding chuxa... (tumanian also has a poem with the same name and very similar words, though it says "zhoghovrdakan" under his poem) Ճախարակ Ղ. Աղայան Մանի՛ր, մանիր, ի՛մ ճախարակ, Մանիր սպիտակ մալանչներ, Մանիր թելեր հաստ ու բարակ, Որ ես հոգամ իմ ցավեր: Ձեթ եմ ածել ականջներըդ, Նոր շինել եմ շրտըվիկ, Դե՜հ,սու՛տ շարժիր լայն տևերդ, Ոստեր շինիր սըրուլիկ: Մանի՛ր, մանիր, ի՛մ ճախարակ, Լիսեռնիկդ պտըտիր, Մանիր թելեր հաստ ու բարակ, Իլկիդ վըրա փաթաթիր: Տիգրանիկըս գուլպա չունի, Հանդ է գնում ոտաբաց, Գաբրիելըս չուխա չունի, Միշտ անում է սուգ ու լաց: Մանի՛ր, մանիր, ի՛մ ճախարակ, Մանիր սպիտակ փաթիլներ, Մանիր թելեր հաստ ու բարակ, Որ ես հոգամ իմ ցավեր: Չըվալ չունինք, չութա չունինք, Ո՛չ սամոտե, ո՛չ պարան, Այսպես աղքատ դեռ եղած չենք, Կտրվել է ամեն բան: Դեռ հարս էի, որ գործեցի Քանի կարպետ, խալիչա, Բայց դրանից շուտ զրկվեցի, Հիմա չունիմ մի քեչա: Կարմիր օրըս, երբ սևացավ, Եվ պարտք մնաց՝ տեև քիչ, Պարտատիրոջ սիրտն էլ սևցավ - Եկավ տարավ ամեն ինչ: Մանի՛ր, մանիր, ի՛մ ճախարակ, Մանիր սպիտակ քուլաներ, Մանիր թելեր հաստ ու բարակ, Որ ես հոգամ իմ ցավեր:

are you really that (meghm asats) naive or you just act like one?

What should be done? Today, we all should look into the mirror and ask ourselves, “would I want Armenian people, the society as a whole be like me? Do I represent the kind of person who I would like to see as our president and the rest of the country’s administration?” Up to this point, I believe we have established that despite our political orientations, our collective wish is one, to have a stable and secure, fair and just, democratic country which offers liberty and freedom to all of its citizens. Now look in the mirror again and ask yourself, “By my actions, by my life, by my being, am I contributing to or working against that goal?” What kind of influence do you have on the people of your immediate circle? What kind of person are you seen by people? Are you just? Are you corrupt? Do you promote freedom of expression? Before you demand anything from your president or whoever is up there, demand those things from you. You want elimination of corruption. How many times have you paid or encouraged/approved someone who has paid his boss to get promotions in his government job? You want fairness. How many times have you paid or are you willing to pay the professor a couple of bucks to have your child get that extra grade which he/she didn’t get? You want freedom to speak your mind. You want to have an equal say in society. How many times have you shunned your wife or daughter just because they are women or your children just because they are “too young to have any say and have to listen to you”? You want justice. But how do you raise your children? Do you praise them for bullying around the neighborhood? “papayi tghen a, eee…” Or do you discourage them from doing so? How many times have you fought with your neighbor because he/she said a thing or two to your kid for misbehaving? “ara, inq@ im erexen a u lav a arel inchvor arel a… apres bales… myus angam ktas drants shusheq@ kjardes… yes drants tiroj mer@...” How many times have you forged a document, nothing big, just a small piece of paper to register that extra couple of yards of public land in from of your apartment to your name? When you were fencing your yard and were short on material, how much metal did steal from the neighborhood kindergarten’s or “katselni’s” fencing to finish off your project? It’s needless to go on… What should be done? There is much to be done... and it all starts from whithin yourself...

i don't know if this post was meant for me specifically, but it didn't answer my question... are you justifying the shooting at protestors given the circumstances? or are you justifying a government official lying on public tv?

are you now justifying the action (shootings) or the lying?

domino, i believe your initial question was legitimate and needs to be asked and commented on along with the 2 questions above... it just needed to be split into 2 separate questions... 1. if the election was fair and 2. if the election reflects the popular choice... i believe these are mutually exclusive questions...

http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=12860

i voted "disagree" and "No!"... the reason is as follows... i disagree with the first statement because i don't believe the election process (and not only the voting) was fair... HOWEVER, i agree that the results represent the population's choice... (more people voted for Serge Sarkissian)... thus, i believe this statement should have been split into 2 parts... i voted "no" to the second question because i don't believe it will resolve anything... there will be the same irregularities and the result will be the same... the people don't want (don't believe in) fair elections... and system is not ready to imposs fair elections on them...

ArmeniaNow’s position on the Media Blackout President Robert Kocharyan extended his good wishes in official visit to wounded Sunday. ArmeniaNow believes that in any true democracy – even, and especially, during time of crisis – access to information is a fundamental public right. It is on that basis and others that we declare our strong objection to the Armenian Government’s inclusion of media prohibitions as part of its enforcement of Article 15 and Article 117 of the Constitution pertaining to a State of Emergency. We fully support all legitimate efforts to stabilize conditions following the tragic events of March 1. But we do not accept that silencing non-state media is a legitimate means of maintaining order. Rather, we fear that the restrictions, even for the short period announced, could lead to the sort of propagandized media that re-unites Armenia with its Soviet past, while doing nothing to resolve the problems it faces in the present. While obliged to comply with this imposition of censorship, ArmeniaNow will post state-approved information pertinent to the interests of our readers. But we do so with a caution to our readers that these releases present only a partial picture of present conditions. We apologize to our readers for this disruption of news. We ask, though, that you continue to check this site, as we will resume normal reporting as soon as the State of Emergency is lifted.

Three International Observers walk into an election, see . . . By John Hughes ArmeniaNow editor Any more it doesn't matter Who's right or wrong We've been injuring each other For much too long Kris Kristofferson – Nobody Wins Let us thank God for the OSCE and the CIS and any other acronym-ed international observation missions who come here every five years to tell us that the blossom of freedom gets lovelier every season and that things are just sweet as pie here election-wise. Bless them. They come. They observe. They write meaningless reports. They go home. Where would we be without them? If you read the reports of the observers, here’s what you know about Tuesday’s voting process: • There were a few technical glitches • The counting process needs some improvement If you believe what was reported on this website or on plenty others: • Cash was paid for votes • Proxies were temporarily kidnapped • Proxies were beaten • Ballot boxes were stuffed (Personal favorite: by “workers” changing a light bulb in one station) • Soldiers were transported station to station to cast multiple votes • Citizens’ votes were monitored by their employers Not observers. Are we talking about different elections? (“Oh, sorry. You asked about ARmEnia? We thought you said ROmAnia.”) No. It does appear, though, that after banging their multi-lingual heads against the wall for so many years telling outsiders just how screwed up things really are with the voting process here, the OSCE et. al. have changed the definition of “international standards”. For example: The individual incidents of wrongdoing, the CIS report said, could not influence the final outcome. Translation: Let the brass knuckles fly, so long as enough bodies are left standing to constitute a majority. No doubt there are improvements since the first times international observers were coming here. Ballots are more distinct; votes are deposited in transparent boxes; passports are stamped to indicate that a voter has already voted. Good. But to endorse what happened Tuesday, as these missions have, requires lowering the bar on the democratic process to a level that neither Armenia nor any other country should brag about clearing. It appears that none of the observer missions brought mathematicians with them. Otherwise there surely would have been mention of the staggering display of civic duty exhibited here on Tuesday. So great is the process here, that, according to figures from the Central Election Commission, a bit more than 70 percent of the voting populace did the deed. Incredible as it is to think that 7 out of 10 hold their duty so sacred, the CEC is being modest. Let us clarify: About 2.3 million Armenians are registered to vote here. But: That number includes about 500,000 (according to various estimates) now abroad who, for the first time with this presidential election, were not allowed to vote. That brings the number down to about 1.8 million. According to the CEC, nearly 1.7 went to polls Tuesday. There’s the headline friends: “94 Percent Turnout in Mid-winter to Perform Patriotic Act.” International standards my hiney, that’s galactic! Its shortsighted slight of Armenia’s patriotism aside, the OSCE report was spot on with one observation: “Armenian authorities made genuine efforts to address shortcomings noted in previous elections.” For sure they did. Having seen the shortcomings of 2003 when their fraud was not sufficient to avoid a runoff, this time around the authorities secured their power in the first vote through stepped-up efforts. The learning curve shortens. Give us five more years, and the whole voting deal will be streamlined into a nod or a show of hands. “. . . there is need,” the OSCE report says “. . . to tackle such concerns as lack of public confidence in the electoral process . . .” Yes indeed there is. Thanks for pointing that out. http://www.armenianow.com/?action=viewArti...ng&IID=1175

i see a very fine line between "biting your tongue" (especially knowingly) to maintain a relationship and not being able to do anything about it when "danak@ voskorin hasnel"...

nuyn kghkghanq@ tarber tverin... ba es mard@ "paxats" cher?

that's all good and dandy, but has nothing to do with what i was pointing out, which was the divorce statistics and how people use it to justify arranged marriages... being able to choose your life partner and "biting your tongue" to work out the relationship has nothing to do with being told who to marry and psychologically not being able to do anything about it when things get out of hand...

how can children be "illegitimate" if there is no such thing as marriage to produce "legitimate" children?
