Great commentary and a very well-rounded review of the status of these efforts in Armenia. Thank You.
Armenia’s Western funded NGOs are a serious threat to the county’s normal development and should thus be shutdown.
. . . And only non-Western-funded NGOs should be allowed. . . God bless the “rise of Russia.”
All nation states are works in progress… as are their citizens’ perspectives and levels of experience with democratic process. Tensions between resident and diaspora actors are to be expected although the friction between the two can be as productive as it is painful…. the challenge is for both sets of actors to stay in the game for the long term.
Just by reading the first sentence I could understand that the author has no idea what he’s talking about. Or he does, but wants the unsuspecting readers to get confused even more about “The big old ugly Soviet Times”… So, why would somebody lie that “During the Soviet era in Armenia, there were virtually no non-governmental organizations (NGOs)”?
No Western funded grant processing machines that’s for sure. What else he could be talking about mixing together NGOs, CSOs, non-profits, charities, labor unions, professional societies – all conveniently labeled “non-governmental organizations” by US government bureaucrats from the US Agency for International Development? If they are funded by a foreign government, they become quasi-governmental organizations. The only difference is that it’s not the Armenian government, but foreign governments who control them.
