    DEVELOPMENTS IN ARMENIA
    By Berj Garibek, Telemetry Operations Engineer ITT Industries/NASA

    AZG Armenian Daily #156, 02/09/2005

    Dear friends at Azg, I've been following the developments occurring in
    my fatherland, Armenia, and follow carefully the latest news updates
    that concern Armenia and Artsakh. I've never been to Armenia, since I
    was born in Baghdad, Iraq and now I live in Los Angeles, California;
    however, Armenia's future and well being, like every other Armenian
    in the Diaspora, greatly concerns me. Since our victory in Artsakh,
    1994, Armenia has been encountering great obstacles in order to
    achieve a level of economic superiority over its neighbors, control
    emigration and continue with its progress towards democracy. However,
    Armenia's neighbors continue its work against Armenia's welfare
    and increase their efforts to further isolate our homeland from the
    outside world. When the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline project was in
    progress, our leadership did nothing to prevent the realization of
    the gas pipeline project. Of course, we had little power to influence
    world leaders; however, our main ally (Russia) was asleep! Now we are
    facing another obstacle: Kars-Akhalkalak-Tbilisi Railway Construction.

    By the time the Russian bear wakes up, and Armenia's leadership start
    taking actions against this dirty Turkish-Georgian-Azeri game, Armenia
    will be on verge of making compromises that will impact negatively
    on its existence.

    Proposed Solution: Armenia should start acting like it has the upper
    hand in the region, and we do! First we need an able leadership,
    who can make solid and sound decisions regarding the issues related
    to Artsakh. The repeated trips of President Kocharian to meet with
    the Azeris have produced nothing but frustration! We need to have a
    leader that will stand up and say, "Azeris, these are Armenian lands,
    not one inch from these territories will be returned to you, because we
    won the war. Turkey won the war 85 years ago, now it occupies western
    Armenia, the only way we get these territories back is through war,
    not diplomacy, because diplomacy doesn't work with the Turks." For
    Georgia, our leadership should start using some threatening language,
    "Look what happened to Azerbaijan in 1994, we'll do the same to you
    if you don't stop working against our interests". And for Turkey,
    that will be in a different email (that's if you liked what I stated
    in this email). Keep up the excellent work, and long live Armenia.
