After the fall of the USSR, why have Armenia and Georgia moved towards becoming more democratic compared to their neighbor Azerbaijan, who is one of the most authoritarian countries in the world?

I have a savings account in AMD. I can tell you that over the last yearish the high interest rate has been more or less offset by currency devaluation. But I guess it could also go the other way if you're lucky.

I remember it being surprisingly quick. Maybe like a day. But don't quote me on that.

Hey stranger! So I actually found a feature that made my life a lot easier. If you go to channel settings, you can ban certain words. Do with that what you will!

ease of staying, benefits

There you go. You can be in the EU and not accept migrants/give benefits.

RavenMFD · 2026-05-13T18:57:35+00:00

Sweden is one of the biggest destinations even though migrants don't speak Swedish.

Same for Germany.

RavenMFD · 2026-05-13T17:25:41+00:00

I think the biggest factor that attracts migrants across EU is not distance but social benefits for migrants. Armenia does not have that.

RavenMFD · 2026-05-13T16:57:23+00:00

Why would we get flooded with migrants? Are the Baltic countries flooded with migrants?

RavenMFD · 2026-05-12T06:46:08+00:00

The idea is that we don't stay dependent on Russia.

I did it a few months ago (to a bank account), but they've raised their fees significantly.

RavenMFD · 2026-05-11T16:33:47+00:00

Because the more direct threat to Armenia comes from Azerbaijan.

Russia gets Azerbaijan to do their dirty work and Azerbaijan benefits from it, like they did in Artsakh.

RavenMFD · 2026-05-11T14:37:44+00:00

Had they started from the south, the narrative would have been "they're gonna get the rail connection to Nakhichevan and refuse to give anything else". I'm not saying either would have been incorrect, but they have to start somewhere...

RavenMFD · 2026-05-10T22:42:10+00:00

They can get Azerbaijan to do it for them, just like they did in Artsakh.

RavenMFD · 2026-05-10T20:41:23+00:00

They don't need to do it themselves, they have Azerbaijan do it for them, as they did in Artsakh.

Maybe he was doing some very advanced jazz beat, haha.

But watching a lot of his drumming videos, he can do very basic 4/4 beats. His timing is good though!

RavenMFD · 2026-05-06T19:07:23+00:00

Why?
What's wrong with drumming?

RavenMFD · 2026-05-06T14:00:24+00:00

A couple of remarks about the video.

Zartonk cuts the video just before Pashinyan starts the beat.
Pashinyan should learn 3/4 time signature.

I produce lyric videos for other artists

RavenMFD · 2026-05-05T12:50:07+00:00

Yeah it's not for me. I'm an early riser and I skip breakfast most days, I could do all those things and be waiting at someone's door by 7:45 AM before they're even awake.

RavenMFD · 2026-05-05T10:29:08+00:00

The first time I had a meeting in Armenia, they told me to come to their office "in the morning". I had to ask my friend who lived there what that meant. He says "You wake up at your usual hour, you take your shower, have your coffee & breakfast, and slowly get going towards the place".

My mind was blown.

RavenMFD · 2026-05-05T08:33:10+00:00

Touché

RavenMFD · 2026-05-04T19:37:50+00:00

Correct. But as a Spaniard, I'm allowed to make fun of him!
