If Armenian elite thought that Az was bad faith they would never have wasted 25 years negotiating with them. Armenia was never stuck in a limbo, not doing enough for a power balance and then saying that Aliev is going to wipe any document with his ass

Attitude Towards Profanity and Women
Profanity: I recently had a situation where two dogs attacked me in the courtyard of my building. They were barking and were very close to me; I was fending them off with my things and shouting. I yelled out “blyat,” and after the dogs retreated, a guy who had seen the whole thing approached me and confronted me, saying that one shouldn’t swear. In other words, this young man wasn’t bothered by the fact that dogs were terrifying passersby; only the swearing offended his traditionalist brain. Maybe we should be solving actual problems instead of clinging to old customs? As an Armenian raised in Russia, I don’t understand the mentality against profanity. These words serve as an emotional release, a lightning rod. Granted, one shouldn’t communicate in curses constantly, but there are situations where it is entirely justified.
Women: An entire month for women? Seriously? Men aren’t even issued a passport without going through the military registration office, and then for residency registration, you also have to report to the local military office. Women get their passports and residency permits much faster and easier. Men are in a high-risk zone—we are obligated to die for the state’s control over a territory. And we don’t have our own day? Not to mention a month. We are expected to give flowers just so girls will even consider you as an option. We are expected to pay on dates for some reason. No, I am not going to grant privileges to women. Oh, and for some reason, swearing is specifically forbidden in their presence. As if they don’t know these words or don’t use them. Yes, it might be unpleasant. But it’s nothing terrible—you’ll survive.

its all our faults for what happened to Artsakh and the state of our country, not just the army or the awful government leadership.
Diasporans who say “the current Armenia isnt my homeland” make no sense
xash isnt that good

Not making the effort to teach your half-Armenian kids your native/family language means you either resent or completely don’t care about being Armenian

Armenia is not a country worth living in unless you comply with lots of personal standards pushed by its people.
