The Staten Island blowup, just a the door of Manhattan, has reached its goal: it scared the hell out of the people. It filled its purpose well, to increase the war psychosis among the population one more notch. Double impact, double goal: 1) A deafening BLOWUP NOISE and a choc wave to make believe of a terrorist act or why not a bombing. 2) The BLACK CLOUD, to make sure EVERYONE sees it all the way to New Jersey, and remind the peaceful New York people of the World Trade Center dust cloud. Honestly, who would or could believe its just an accident? Well done, gentleman from the CIA! Just add one more layer of fear, and you are motivating the American people very well for the upcoming war. PS: The average American ( the ultra-nationalist) who lives in the heartland midway between Los Angeles and New York City is already supermotivated anyway. Only the multicultural people from New York need that kind of a reminder, that war is good for America. God bless America.

The Irak war will unfold at the door of Armenia, only less than 200 miles away. That's a risky situation. Meanwhile, Turkey is negotiating with the US government to get both money ($15 billion) and land (Northen Irak, Kurd populated). Turkey is negotiating with America to send 60,000 troops in Northern Irak (to be stationned permanently). That's called "invasion". Meanwhile, if these troops (that are ready) is not used in Irak, they could be turned around (with America's approval), and head straight north towards Armenia. This happens at a time when Armenia is between two election rounds, and there's unrest. The army better be on high alert for the coming weeks, till the situation clears a bit.

Following this demonstration, the police has arrested somewhere between 100 and 200 people. Demirchyan really sucks. He's just looking to take power (just like his father during the soviet area), AT ANY COST. Abviously, that doesn't bother him to have his people on the grill.

I'm looking at the permanent image that is printed on some people's mirror. Those who feel targeted by this statement, will come out openly, to protest, just like you did. Azat, you just proved me right. [ February 23, 2003, 04:16 AM: Message edited by: takavor ]

Actually, I think it IS a joke. And, I know someone who is an even bigger joke. Pop quizz: Whom I'm I referring to?

There are rats everywhere, including on this forum. Everyone in anxious to see them leave this ship. Pop quizz: Whom I'm I referring to?

Elections cannot be won on the streets, at the polls only. Today the oposition leaders organized a massive demonstration of about 100,000 people. Demirchyan's attitude is totally irresponsible. He claims that if the coming March 7 election outcome does not make him the new president, then he won't recognize the elections as fair and democratic. That's too easy. What kind of an attitude is this, from a guy who pretends he can be president? People are demonstrating because they are in dear need of major changes and improvements in the harsh living conditions in Armenia right now. Demirchyan is using their desperation to manipulate them, and turn them into a revolutionary mob. That's disgusting. What solutions is Demirchyan REALLY bringing to Armenias problems? None that is better the Koch's. I don't like what's going on. Especially at time, when there will be a war in Irak, just 200 miles away from Armenia. I hope the army won't have to get involved to restore order after the second round of the elections. [ February 22, 2003, 04:56 PM: Message edited by: takavor ]

Good one. I'm still laughing. I especially like that one: "7. We would ALL want to fly the plane." The interpretation may vary. One could see it as a shortcoming. However, the positive interpretation of that statement is that "Armenians are natural-born leaders". And THAT is very positive.

Armenia is starting with a heavy handicap. The Western powers are totally biased (pro-turkish). They have so much interest in criticizing us, whenever they get the chance, and making us look bad. That's why the country's unity is essential. TOGETHER we cannot be be defeated. Hope this election won't create unrest.

Hi, There will be second round for the elections. The Coach got 49.8% of the votes.

We should all hope that the issue of the election won't seriously destabilize Armenia. Our enemies will see it as a weakness. The OSCE observers are spreading exagerrated news about irregularities. Bullshit. In any country in the world, including US, France, England, there are to some extent irregularities during elections.

Although the electoral central commission hasn't officially announced yet, here are some preliminary results: Kotcharian 51 to 52% Demirdjian 30% Keghamian 15% Karapetyan 3% Every other runner <1% R. Kotcharian [aka. the "coach"] is therefore reelected as President. [ February 20, 2003, 03:31 AM: Message edited by: takavor ]

The political equation is: 5 years of political and social stability + continued economical growth + no concessions about Kararabgh (no land swap) = Kotcharian

Election Results at 5:30 AM Armenia time Kotcharian: 47.9% Demirdjian: 31.9% Keghamian: 19.6% Karapetyan:3.33% each other runner: <1% [ February 19, 2003, 05:32 PM: Message edited by: takavor ]

Poll stations abroad (Moscow, Alma Ata, Tehran, Kiev, ...) provide results that show Kotcharian winning by far.
