Armenia needs a light rail system for entire connectivity and to move people who work in Yerevan to suburbs for reduction of pollution and decrease of city inflation. It is a small country but many regions are ignored, specially border towns.
Economic resources are either tangible or intangible. IT sector is intangible, which can export regardless of landlocked situation of Armenia.
The Armenian population needs to be educated that they need to voice their opinion by VOTING. They also need to know what different candidates/ parties stand for. Public education is paramount to obtain a true democracy.
When USA and EU intervene in global cultures and security without comprehensive understanding of the nature of the geopolitics, cultural differences and history, they enforce their policies and plans , which cause harm to such countries as Armenia. They don’t learn their lesson and arrogantly enforce their agenda on others.
people are not fool and understand all kind of manipulations by both side – they have their own thinking purposes – mainly about non visa to EU status for them – that's it…
