You should be concerned.

Hi friends, Did you know that the Jewish lobby in the U.S. is trying to undermine the Armenian Genocide Resolution? Hard to believe, huh? Here's an excerpt: "...he didn't even want to imagine what it would be like if Turkish-U.S. relations were further crippled by the Armenian bill after the row over Iraq. U.S. diplomats express similar concerns. However, the bill has already turned into a scare for the Jewish lobby in the United States. The only hope, for now, is Turkey's opening up its border with Armenia."

I blogged about this. What's funny is how some Azeri news sources took it to mean that Armenians were building a town for them to live in, exclusively!

I'm curious to know, just how reliable is it to send something to Armenia via a shipping company? Will it get there? Will anyone insure it?

Just pointing out that there are 6 million (2004 estimate according to WikiPedia) in the Diaspora. Not that it makes much of a difference compared to our neighbors, but just a factual pinpoint!

Thanks for the positive comments, guys!

Hi guys, I just finished with a top-10 list of Yerevan's statues, with pictures! I know, I know: you're thinking that statues are boring, right? Wrong! Statues represent your history, your country, maybe even your name. Each one is a snapshot of an important individual, event, or idea. I included pictures and descriptions with each one. I hope you enjoy it!

C'mon guys, mellow out. Stegh bolor@s hayerenk u piti irar het yola etank. Charzi pokr mi bani hamar irar vra paterazm haytnenk.

Thank you so much for that information! I will blog this information and credit you!

Keep in mind, the S300s are SAMs - Surface to Air. Even if we shoot their planes down - assuming they don't take out the SAMs before anything - we are still lacking in ground force equipment, such as tanks. Again, this post was meant as a "what if" scenario. I don't know about your source, but the Mig 29s are most likely the Migs in Russia's 102nd base, under Russian control. If I had it my way, we wouldn't have any conflict and all these billions would go to better use. But I don't.

What kind of a spy would come to an Armenian Forum for Google earth screenshots? I think it's fine. Anyway, we need new planes: we recently bought 10 SU-25s, which are old as hell, but Armenia paid $100,000 each, while Azerbaijan bought the newer SU-27s, but paid $15-17 million each. We're smart folks. I'm not suggesting there's going to be war, but if Azerbaijan decides to reclaim "its" lands, then that would be a plausible scenario. Obviously Russia would come to our defense, but Turkey would also help out Azerbaijan, as they have been doing for a while. But the main conclusion was that Armenia should stay very close allies with Russia. A power station here, a corporation there should do the trick! As for the numbers, I did say they could be off, because of differing numbers in different sources.

Hi all, I did some research to find where we stand compared to our neighbors. The result: scary. Let me know if you agree with my conclusion. Cheers!
