i've grown to dislike this song and its lyrics...

KK is not the 100% owner of MGM Mirage... he's not even a majority owner...

I think you are skipping a step. Fair elections and protections are not the beginning. They are the results of society’s collective expectations and understanding of how governance and societies should work.

why not? i say even better... it's a self-cleansing process for the republic... now only if it can attract healthier elements back to the republic from the west, all will be fine...

why would you, azat?

Anoushik, i don't think i agree with you...

looks like a poorly copies text from a medival script... the only legible word for me was the 1st one on the 2nd line, which says ԹԱԳԱՎՈՐՈՒԹՒՆ, kingdom...

of course it was a joke of a comment... however, i'm not quite sure about your anger over this project... i didn't see the connection between this and hungry people, underpaid public employees, or lack of basic civilized mindset toward national treasures... first of all, there is no "they" that have built and are operating this business... it was not done by public funds, state budget, or Armenia Fund donations... it is a private business, established by certain individual(s) to make profit... i'm sure you can be appreciative of this concept... i could understand your opposition if you mentioned the inhumane treatment of dolphins and unfavorable living conditions... or if you mentioned how no environmental study was conducted to evaluate the impact of this business on the surrounding area... or if you mentioned how nobody seems to care what kind of stress this business is going to put on already crumbling water infrastructure in the city... or if you mentioned how the community was not consulted before allocating a park to this project... or if you mentioned the alleged corruptions that surround the permitting and approval processes of this business... however, this endeavor did not condemn the hungry to more hunger... nor did it deprive public employees from their fair chance to live decent living... if anything, this business helped some of those hungry people put bread on their tables by providing them jobs as janitors, veterinarians, security personnel, cashier clerks, accountants, business managers, legal counsels, marketing personnel, etc etc... now, i don't agree with Ashot's exuberance with expanding tourism and basing the country's strategic long term advancement on it... tourism is not a viable industry for Armenia to thrive on in the 21st century... nor is it a platform for developing a highly intelligent society (which i see you favor and would like to see in armenia)... however, on an individual level, this project and private business is a positive movement of a notch for the country's economy...

so when are they getting sued for gender discrimination?

that is when you don't wax it off...

anoushik, you are such a communist...

did these come from the same cave?

i'm not sure if you're serious or joking... but it's of course part of նախարարություն...

i finally get what they mean when they say "armenia is rich with human resources"... we export humans!!!

Arman, i honestly don't understand what you're trying to say... all i'm saying is that the article is poorly written... it is trying to make a sensation out of nothing, with statements like "sargsyan personally gave a written guarantee" (mostly likely referring to a generic user certificate, which is signed by "minister of defense", which is a standard procedure in any international arms deal)... at the same time, your accusations of "using public funds to line up his pockets" are unfounded (i'm sure he does that every day, but to make an accusation for a specific case with no evidence is unfounded)...

armat, that article is full of holes, baseless assumptions, long-stretched jumps to conclusions, and apprently poorly researched about the basics of arms deals... and so are your arguments in this case... (and this is not to defend sargsyan...)
