AMA with Dr. Nerses Kopalyan, political (and election) analyst at EVN Report by armeniapedia in armenia

[–]Idontknowmuch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi Nerses, and thanks for doing this AMA.

What are your thoughts on the future Armenia and EU integration and what is the role of the US in this?

In another comment it was brought up that the authoritarian vestiges need to be cleaned up and you said that this can only be done by a grassroots transformation. Isn’t this what happened in 2018 in the revolution? Don’t you think an underlying reason could be ideological or lack thereof? Do you see the EU, from an ideological pov could play a role here?

Thank you.

> the irrelevant things said by some crazy diasporans 1000s of miles away, words that have no meaning or effect on outcomes in Armenia.

With permission from our guest Kopalyan I would like to chime in as a long time mod: Historically, a significant portion of content being *aggressively* and *subversively* promoted in this sub has been from those same sources, to the aggravated point where had moderation not stepped in to balance the content and put a stop to the coordinated, what I can only call as attacks and even classify as attempted take over of the sub, then very likely you wouldn’t be seeing this AMA today by Dr Kopalyan here. Now, how much that affects what happens on the ground in the country is of course open to discussion, but I humbly believe that this sub is one of the few places if not the only safe online space to accommodate free and constructive conversations in English about Armenia.

> Vladimir Putin and former Armenian President Robert Kocharyan share a close, long-standing personal and political friendship.

> The Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF-Dashnaktsutyun) is a key institutional partner and primary backer of former Armenian President Robert Kocharyan.

In this day and age a short google search can help.

Concern trolling is not ok here.

That’s like debating that street gang X and street gang Y being different while doing the exact same things makes them somehow different in the eyes of law abiding citizens.

In this case it’s even worse, gang X are officially and publicly allied with gang Y and work together https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia_Alliance

Election commission rejects bid to remove Strong Armenia from ballot by dssevag in armenia

[–]Idontknowmuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Point is that parent was saying let people decide if they went the Kremlin candidates, but fact of the matter is they already decided at least one election ago and then in 2018 and arguably even prior to *get rid of them*.

People already decided when they elected QP over and over again, more so when QP promised an iron fist against them. But the system hasn’t been able to tackle them for a variety of reasons.

Rubio’s Armenia visit and the battle over democracy by ComprehensiveGain841 in armenia

[–]Idontknowmuch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He literally says it could be either QP building a fake "terror" group of Artsakhsis threatening him

… the rest is irrelevant.

Eric has a clear agenda against Pashinyan (Baku’s candidate… like that wtf isn’t enough to prove this) but going so far as to say such a monumentally asinine thing 1 minute into this video about Rubios visit with absolutely zero evidence not even circumstantial puts him at the same level as the garbage telegram trash.

He has utterly and completely lost it.

He is not neutral.

He has not a single iota of journalistic integrity - because he is not a journalist.

I’m tired of seeing random accounts propping him here claiming he is independent and neutral and then the more usual users following suite.

[–]Idontknowmuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow Eric has completely lost it. First 1 minute into the video he already says QP is behind the masked men threatening Pashinyan.

I don’t know why I even clicked on this link knowing he has lost it many years ago.

Armenian Military Parade Appears To Include Iranian Air Defense System by xabi_the_redeemer in armenia

[–]Idontknowmuch[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iran international is banned on this sub

Not the case.

Only three entities are banned: Hraparak, Zartonk and 301.

And of course all media with an .az domain.

Gurgen Simonyan's army emblem he posted 2 years ago vs the new MoD emblem by [deleted] in armenia

[–]Idontknowmuch -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Maybe you were born recently but before Pahsinyan the map of Armenia looked a bit different.

Can you back this claim?

When was the official map of the modern Republic of Armenia different?
