lamentavel que ainda existam armenios adeptos do socialismo criminoso que prejudicou durante setenta anos a nossa pobre armenia. o comunismo mae do socialismo so traz a miseria e ignorancia aos seus adeptos. O partido tachnak deveria se reestruturar diante das novas ideias sobreviventes apos o colapso socialista na uniao sovietica. CHEGOU A HORA DE ACORDAR DA LETARGIA
