First blow to the Serjik's corrupt Regime read by threat of "consider the possibility of suspending the voting rights of the members of the Armenian parliamentary delegation to the Assembly at its January 2009 part-session" PACE draft resolution... BUT, what is more important is the SERJIK's Crony ALL-OUT Wise man Republican Galust Sahakyan who reacted :"... you know, if the Council of Europe rejects us, then there are other ISLAMIC organizations where we can take part" listen on : mms://realaudio.rferl.org/wma/ch2/2008/12/18/20081218-150000-AR-program.wma Ara, de Tatar monghol en eli, ayrune kashuma!

Good article! And I hope something will changed in January.

Good article. However, March 1 occurances in Armenia are not exception in developing democracy. They have a long way to go. Evry contestant takes himself very seriously. The corrupt mentality in the ruling circles and apathy of the public and synicism are rampant. The old group is not better. They too were corrupt and ruthless. They are learning to be tolerant to each other. One must know the reality of the passed 600+ years of colonialism and 70 years of supression FEAR. I do not think they had any chance for a minute of reflection. It is necessary to develop forums to discuss, argue and develop tolarance. It will be a long process. There is too much anger and intolerance in general. Social historian/psychologist if there are any must develop lectures and facilitate discussions and communication between groups of people with loving care and concern for the well being of the common man, than may be they can find a way to understand their actions. It is a very complex country as any other. It needs education of public welfare and concern. It is easy said than done. I pray that times will bring forward a leader that will guide the country to the coming centuries. May be we need a woman president? Ha, ha,. ha.
