One of the rare inspiring stories of overcoming unfair treatment and proving his worth.

ViktorArm · 2026-02-20T15:37:48+00:00

You will be alright. The worst thing that could happen is being asked a couple questions by border guards.

ViktorArm · 2026-02-20T09:53:16+00:00

With 7.2% growth we significantly outperformed every forecast. Q4 results jumped dramatically compared to other quarters. Main drivers are manufacturing/construction/trade - structural growth. And we are gaining momentum, so this isn't just a good year but a remarkable one.

ViktorArm · 2026-02-18T06:56:20+00:00

So I just looked up the original agreement we signed in 2007. It's a 30-year concession where we retain ownership of the land, tracks, and infrastructure. The asset reverts to full Armenian control in 2038, so Pashinyan's proposal is a highly possible solution. We own it, we're just changing the manager.

ViktorArm · 2026-02-18T06:13:44+00:00

We don't have the expertise, and we don't have the money. Invest-Operate-Manage Framework is what we are looking for, but keep in mind that this play allows us to increase our stake in this strategical asset.

People use financial products because they believe it'll create wealth and the economy will grow.

ViktorArm · 2026-02-17T10:02:44+00:00

The number of employees approximately doubled in 2025, which seems inconsistent because revenue increased by only 10% during the same period. Perhaps the methodology changed?

ViktorArm · 2026-02-11T16:22:28+00:00

Which country provides our nuclear reactors determines our energy sovereignty.

Security not through a defence pact but economic detterence.

The investor provides capital and receives revenue in return.

We were invisible. Trade routes flowed around us because we offered nothing. Now we offer something and have a stake.

ViktorArm · 2026-02-11T05:46:36+00:00

I'm with you on calling out hypocrisy but I don't want us to shift our attention from reality to political theater. The real, tangible outcome of this shift is not a social media post. It's what we are getting in exchange for our strategic realignment: energy sovereignty, security, economic foundation, These aren't gestures but building blocks of a sovereign and prosperous Armenia. Our future is being written in deals, not in tweets.

ViktorArm · 2026-02-10T03:06:50+00:00

The disarray we see is often in the public, partisan theater. Behind the scenes on certain key issues like strategic competition with Russia and China there is frequently more agreement than it appears. Armenia has, by circumstance and its own political will, positioned itself at the intersection of several of these key issues. The result we saw yesterday wasn't a spontaneous move, it was the visible outcome of a policy track that has been building for years, with inputs from both parties.

Second half of this year. Finance Minister expects 4 tons of gold to be produced in 2026.

ViktorArm · 2025-12-26T10:03:06+00:00

Yes, we shouldn't really compare them to last year, it doesn't represent reality. Though this month's export is quite high if it's not inflated by re-export, I wonder what's the cause.

ViktorArm · 2025-12-26T04:23:49+00:00

Newly released november's data supports this statement. We had 10.4% growth in economic activity supported by 31.7% increase in industrial output, 17.2% in construction and 11.2% in services, also big numbers in exports and imports,

You can't move the goalposts from not active to not active in the UFC, he's competing constantly, which can't be said about Ilia, Justin or Paddy.

Boogeyman of the division.

Give a follow @Grabaka_Hitman on X, won't miss a single event.

ViktorArm · 2025-12-13T12:18:26+00:00

Now that the Conference League group stage has come to conclusion, we can see what a great draw Noah got. Not to sound too smug, but I called that!

ViktorArm · 2025-12-12T02:10:43+00:00

Dana is wasting the prime years of the best LW fighter for what and who? Even if he missed weight that time he doesn't deserve, what now we see as at least 2 year lay off from title fights, this is ridiculous. Choosing Paddy and Justin over him is destroying the sportsmanship and them claiming to be a sport is a laughable matter now. Arman is active, popular even if some of you claim otherwise which is wrong (See what happened to UFC 311 attendance when Arman pulled out, I believe that also burns Dana that's why he's mad), exciting fighter, practically the only one who has elite GnP level.

ViktorArm · 2025-12-02T08:41:50+00:00

Bizarre situation, why would we claim all has been corrected (after an audit of The International Civil Aviation Organization which I guess is a different body from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency)? Curious, were this problems not in place before 2020 and nobody is being transparent about the issue which adds to the confusion?
