Everyone wants to become president or PM, but no one wants to do something useful for their people. Why most dashnak spyurqahays want to become presidents and PMs of Armenia? but no one wants to serve in our army? For over 25 years, most Armenian citizens have served in the Armenian and Artsakh army.
If you are so hayrenaser, let young Armenian men from 18 to 30 years old start families, and you serve in our army.

It is the same in all the Diaspora. Here in Lebanon it is the same. All those who stayed hidden during the civil war abroad are looking for a political position when things get better.

There is no more corruption in Armenia than in any other country in the region. There is even less. I am sure. Do yu think Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iran are less corrupt?

My country, Lebanon, has long endured institutionalized corruption. Corruption in Lebanon exists in all its forms including bribery, nepotism, favoritism, patronage, embezzlement, kick-backs, and vote-buying.Petty corruption is widespread. CPI gives Lebanon a rank of 137 out of the 180 nations.
