Go back to taking your orders from your British MI6 Onnik.

You don`t get my point cgarbis? They are bad drivers in every country and I`m not one of them. I obey all traffic laws. You and Onnik want to paint Armenia in a bad light
purposely, what else is new. Onnik and cgarbis make it sound as if driving in
Yerevan is like driving on a lunar landscape which is totaly and utterly false.
Are their bad roads in Armenia? Sure! Go drive in Washington DC or other parts of America and their are also bad roads and lots of construction. Remember the “Big Dig” in Boston cgarbis? I know people who don`t like to drive their cars through some parts of Washington DC because of all the pot holes in the roads. I was talking to a man who told me in the 70`s Myrtle Beach was all dirt roads and now it is rated the world`s best beach by Yahoo travel. I think postive with regards to Hayastan while you two think negative.

God willing in the future I will live and raise a family in Armenia.

I just wanted to point out that the link above directs readers to watch a music video from the 1980s about a singer not being able to “drive 55.” In other words, the driving in the video, which takes place at a race track, does not coincide or compare with the reality of Yerevan since it is staged, so whatever. I don’t get the point of the comment.

It never ceases to amaze me that incidents in the U.S., Europe or elsewhere other than Armenia are taken by rationalists and apologists in the Diaspora to discredit legitimate concerns here. Usually, these people have never even visited. So, as someone who has traveled and lived in Armenia, the U.S. and U.K,, and as everyone knows who has been here, the roads are lethal, anarchic and chaos here. You can’t compare them with many places in fact, and it saddens me to see that rather than address the issue, some have to try to pretend it doesn’t exist. The usual question to people such as Hovik still remains. Have you actually been to Armenia and when?
