Watching some of these candidates on TV really makes me wonder what some of them are really thinking running for presidency. You look at them and you try to picture them representing this country (it just seems so wrong).
What I really find sad is some of Demirchian's campaigning and the people in the villages that are going nuts over him, slaughtering rams and bulls, spilling their blood all over the streets so Demirchian can drive off on those streets for good luck. But why has he been avoiding the subject of Artsakh, or his opinions on Armenia's foreign policy? Maybe he's better off not saying a word, 'cause when he speaks I just cringe!
How about the six opposition candidates questioning the legitimacy of Kocharian's Armenian citizenship....I mean come on! You can't go around saying Artsakh is a part of Armenia, demanding world recognition, and then taking this B.S. to court saying that he is a citizen of Azerbaijan (since he was born in Artsakh in Soviet times, which then was a part of Azerbaijan).
To top it all off, since Hovannisian couldn't run for presidency, he's now backing the son of Karen Demirchian.
Ask most Demirchian supporters why they are voting for him and they'll tell you "well his father was a great man", so what does that have to do with him?
I can't wait for all of this to end. Sure there are games being played, but let's not forget about the elections in the USA. Ouch! I'll leave it at that. Ara had his say on Kocharian and I had my say on the opposition. (Luckily, I didn't mentioned my opinions on a couple of the other candidates.)
Well, the snow is back. The great weather had to come to an end and tonight all the streets of Yerevan are covered in snow again.
I've been shopping around for a home for the past week and I'm already sick of it. I checked out listings for apartments on sale, but I think I prefer a house. So this weekend I'm supposed to check out a few on sale. With the help of God I'm hoping I'll find a great inexpensive deal and a foundation where I can build my own custom-made home. My relatives here told me it took them two years to find this place, but the prices have gone up like crazy! Apartments that were on sale for about $20,000 four years ago are about $60,000 or more now. Just talking about it stresses me out.
