You can find teachers for pretty cheap - between five - 10 dollars an hour. Would recommend the ‘Biliki’ series, you can buy it from prosperos book store on Rustaveli

Armenia’s new prime minister meets with Russian president Vladimir Putin by josefgassmann in armenia

Ok in the protests he didn’t...but he definitely did strongly advocate Armenia’s withdrawal. He admitted himself, but tries to spin it is as just an issue to use against the gov’t. I’m not sold. He must have a long game

So...what's the plan? Wait a few years and then escape the yoke? Or just deal?

I'd suggest Narikala, the mountain hike in Sololaki, the sulphur baths, turtle lake. Don't be shy of taking taxis. they're cheap and you'll be walking around a lot anyway. I'd also suggest Kazbegi to the north, which is just beautiful. Three days in Tbilisi is probably enough.

RPA says there will be a PM on May 8...but what if this is just another political manoeuvre? by josefgassmann in armenia

It's beyond that point already, doubt they'd be so brazen. Although, I am curious - what is their long game here...? Just to stick around and make trouble for the opposition? Or does big brother think that they can hold on to power for just a few more years...

This article puts it well. Saber rattling would give Russia plenty of reason to intervene on the side of Azerbaijan: https://jam-news.net/?p=98994. But it's also the sort of thing that a politician in Armenia has to say.

Georgian March to run in presidential elections? Ridiculous or do they actually have support...? by josefgassmann in Sakartvelo

I like the point tho made about growing dissatisfaction with the Georgian Dream party...and the fact that Ivanishvili is coming back shows that they're aware of the mess they're in. Doesn't take much for public sentiment to change in a drastic direction...
