Ethical approach towards consumption is one step forward in implementation of fair distribuation of wealth and standing up against corruption and oligarchy. Boycotting is strangling the monopoly economically. From reading various articles about the opposition movement sin Armenia, I primarily see division and instability and bunch of wealthy opportunists who are seeking for their own interests instead of people. However, Raffi Hovhanissian does seem promising and charismatic. It looks like he is standing up for the masses but how accurate is my information? I would appreciate more info on the opposition movements. I couldn’t agree with Onnik’s comment more.

Besides, Kilikia is better. Seriously, though, I would like to see an ethical approach to consumption. Perhaps only buying products or frequenting venues that are relatively clean in Armenian terms. The payment of taxes (or whether people employed by a businessman have killed rivals or beaten journalists in the case of Mr. Tsarukian) might be a good way to start such an initiative. Otherwise, are we just feeding into a neverending upward spiral of corruption? A good reason to boycott Kotayk beer, I think. Besides, Kilikia is better.
