Opening…for Dynamic Leader, Consensus Builder

Able to Inspire and Work with Diverse Groups

Armenia reminds me of an idyllic lake. The feel-good news that comes from Armenia is eagerly accepted because we want our country to succeed, but like the placid surface of the lake, the good news hides the turbulence that lies below. There has to come a time when we realize that Armenia’s future cannot substantially improve until the symbiotic relationship between one-party rule and the oligarchs it sustains is broken. Although Moscow may control our external relations for the present, it should not be an excuse for allowing the existing internal situation that saps our strength and condemns us to mediocrity to continue.

  1. Excellent article. Well said and true. I can not agree more with Mr. Mensoian. That brings me to his conclusion…Are we, as Armenians that inept to find a single capable leader who cares and truly loves his country. What happened to our Patriotism? What happened to our poor Armenia? What happened to Armenians who do not cry for their country any more… Only time will tell. However, it is better for that Messiah to come sooner than latter to save our motherland before we find ourselves without any country for another three or four centuries. I hope, in this case, history will not repeat itself!
