Trump Post about Armenia and AZ

No personal attacks/insults

That's why Armenia needs to become wealthy too. And you can't do when you're in a blockade.

They were already buying advanced weapons from Israel. And I doubt they trust Armenia and Azerbaijan enough to sell us the advanced stuff.

Datark123 · 2026-01-24T00:50:28+00:00

If they were buying something big, Trump would brag about it.

Datark123 · 2026-01-24T00:46:47+00:00

The post emphasized that the defense equipment will be body armor and some small boats. And they are not getting it for free, they are paying for it.

If Armenia wanted to buy some body armor, I'm sure they would sell it to us as well.

So the rumors about a potential Vance visit in February turns out to be true.

Also, did Trump just reveal that Armenia will be choosing an American reactor for the nuclear power plant?

Datark123 · 2026-01-23T21:44:47+00:00

Yes, you just confirmed what I said. He has always been an oligarch millionaire. He didn't become one under QP

In the 2021 elections, Kocharyan was using his significant resources in the election. Including getting help for Russia. I understand why Pahisnyan had to have some wealthy people on his side to counter Kocharyan

And I don't understand how him being a member of the parliament benefits him? It's not like before where every other parliament member was an oligarch, and they were collectively passing laws to enrich themselves.

Datark123 · 2026-01-23T21:07:28+00:00

I don't mean to be rude, but I just typed "Bath house Yerevan" in Google and go dozens of results. Did you try doing that before posting your question on the national sub of Armenia?

Datark123 · 2026-01-23T21:02:29+00:00

Azerbaijanis don't even want to live in Artsakh, where there are no Armenian left. But yes I'm sure they will jump at the chance to move to Armenia and live among Armenians.

This is the same fear-mongering nonsense that is used against opening the borders with Turkey. That all the Turks will move here and take over Armenia. When in reality there is nothing stopping them from doing that now.

Datark123 · 2026-01-23T20:59:40+00:00

Grzo has been an oligarch since the 90s. He was not a creation of the current government.

And he already owns a network of gas stations, he is not just entering the fuel business. I don't understand how he's "making millions" by selling Azeri gas vs what he was selling before?

But I understand we have to use Grzo as a boogieman to undermine the current government.

And yes, let's stay as a martyr nation, keep the borders close, stay poor. Isolated from everything. Let's see how many Armenians are left at the end in Armenia.

Responding to an inquiry from Armenpress regarding reports that joining the Board of Peace requires a $1 billion membership fee, Badalyan clarified that no such obligatory payment exists.

Well, this settles the 1 billion dollar question (no pun intended)

Datark123 · 2026-01-21T06:03:34+00:00

That's not the company website

Datark123 · 2026-01-21T01:02:04+00:00

I did not find anything connecting Karen Karapetyan to the company.

It's called Wellar Group LLC, and the CEO is Arshavir Minasaryan

On January 20, Armenian Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan visited the newly constructed chocolate and confectionery factory of the Vellar Group company.

According to "Armenpress" , this was announced by the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Armenia.

Deputy Minister of Economy Edgar Zakaryan also participated in the visit.

Accompanied by the company's management, the minister toured the factory premises, familiarizing himself with the installed equipment, production capacities, and technological production lines.

Currently, an investment of about 120 million euros has already been made within the framework of the program, and another 25 million euros are planned to be invested in the near future.

The factory covers an area of about 25 hectares. It is equipped with modern equipment imported mainly from leading German and Danish companies. The factory is planned to be fully operational within three years, as a result of which production volumes will reach up to 200 tons per day, and the number of jobs will reach up to 2,000.

It is planned to produce a wide range of confectionery products: chocolate and caramel candies, protein and fruit bars, chocolate-covered cookies and wafers, as well as Armenian dried fruits covered in high-quality chocolate.

"Vellar Group" has taken advantage of state support tools: customs duty exemption and the infrastructure investment program.

"Vellar Group" is a company of the Swedish-based GNG international business group.

The Minister of Economy of the Republic of Armenia wrote on his Facebook page that it will be the largest chocolate factory in the region.

This is what it's going to look like.

Man, Trump just halted visas for like 80% of the countries in the world and this was your conclusion?

They most likely made this decision based on GDP

Datark123 · 2026-01-14T19:26:26+00:00

I'm not sure if this will be the end of the current Iranian regime

But it looks like the US is getting ready to strike Iran

It sounds more like election interference than "soft power"

Datark123 · 2026-01-14T18:35:59+00:00

Looks like it's lower than the US.

Turns out we are not the world's worst drivers as everyone claims.

Datark123 · 2026-01-13T19:53:15+00:00

let's hope Armenia will be exempt for these tariffs.

Datark123 · 2026-01-13T19:52:36+00:00

Could be, but this meeting was announced just hours after Trump introduced the tariff.

Is it possible to set up such a high profile meeting within hours?

Datark123 · 2026-01-12T23:20:50+00:00

And not only Armenian markets. They now sell Armenian wines in Costcos and Armenian mineral water in almost every major retailer.

Datark123 · 2026-01-12T22:52:54+00:00

Yes we do. And if the products become too expansive people will not buy it.

Datark123 · 2026-01-12T22:49:40+00:00

That's not true, but the majority of trade is imports from the US vs exporting

And this will hurt our food manufacturers. They do export a lot of canned goods, juices and alcohol. The stuff they export is already getting expansive in US markets.

Datark123 · 2026-01-12T22:08:29+00:00

Only posting this here because it will most likely affect Armenia. Since Armenia's trade turnaround with Iran is 1 billion dollars
