Problems in Armenia 

Artyom writes  

During our times, there are many so-called problems spread out through Armenia.  These problems have been brought about as a result of the lack of attention from the government.  If the government paid a little bit of attention in regards to the peoples’ destinies.  Then there would be fewer problems. 

To bring an example to light, one big problem is regarding the work issue.  Let’s take a look at this problem in Armenia.  There are people, who, having a diploma, an excellent major and actually being an expert in that field, is unemployed, sitting at home and are not able to find work to do.  The reason why he or she is not able to work is because all of the places are already employed by these people who already have enough money or has many good contact persons who are able to more or less help this person.  Therefore, those people who do not have the money or contacts, is it necessary for them to sit at home with a family which needs to be taken care of?  For this reason, in order for the Armenian husbands to find work, they leave their homes and go to another country, so that they can make money and send it to their family so they can live.  And this is how all of them leave their homelands and they go to another country and our homeland.  And our homeland becomes empty, and the opposite happens which is that there should be more Armenians.   

I hope that, there will come a time, when there is no need for the men to leave their homes and are able to find work in their homeland.  This is all an important issue for the government and let them think about this all for everyone. 

UPDATE:  March 6, 2006 

here are a few more of the English summaries…

YSU (Yerevan State University) news
University student writes
To tell you the truth, I’m a little surprised of the results of the elections for the rector at Yerevan State University, when instead of a rector they elected a council to be led by the Defense Minister.  I am convinced that in the education field he has A LOT of experience which will help him within his work as the director of the university activities.  IT IS DISAPPOINTING that I am only lucky enough to have one year to enjoy this.

News from the Armenian Movies 

Participant writes
It is not a secret that Armenians movies are not in that good of a situation.  Let’s try to fight against this!! In 2007, “Ara the Beautiful and Shamiram” is being filmed which is promising to be a development within the current situation of Armenian films.  At present what is occuring is the selection of the possible actors.

The Important thing is not the Diplom, but the mind  

Lilit writes  

I think that more people are becoming worried by the current education system.  I am persuaded that there are many intelligent young people, who do not have the financial means to be accepted into university or their desired major to study, which is not of their own will and does not correspond to their preference.  And it so happens that, in addition, the people who are choosing these important majors are those who have no ability to understand the importance of the Diplom they are receiving in their hands.  These people who become “specialists” are getting jobs and it is becoming evidence that they do not know their responsibilities.  This is the reason why in Armenia there are no real higher educated and quality doctors, lawyers, psychologists… For this reason I am calling all those person who practice those villainous and corrupt bribes, which has taken hold of Armenia.  May all those intelligent students turn into experts, so that people, for example, if they become sick that they do not consider or say that their visit to the doctor was purposeless.  
  

What is the difference if I go to the doctor, or not?  It is the same and there will be no difference if they have had such consultations, during which they have supposedly been able to diagnose the reason for one’s sickness, prescribe medicine, and aftewards they are still the same and feel no changes.
  

Here is this much.  Thus, let us fight for the true and noble life, that will only bring much help to everyone alive.

    Thanks for translation! I hope the others will follow too!
    Is there any follow-up activity with these people?

    Hey Sanne

    Yes, I apologize I have had a couple of personal days early this week as I have been a little under the weather. (no worries though I’m doing better) I am working to get the rest of the translations done ASAP.

    As for follow up — was thinking it might be a good idea to have such “blogging parties” a couple of times a month at the office. I understood that one of the problems is that internet access is poor and not many people are able to frequently use the internet - so how am i supposed to get these young people involved if they don’t have access nor can they afford to spend money at the internet cafes or wherever in order to access the internet? So, we have internet at the office and for a few hours I am looking to invite them on a non-working day and have them come and use our resources. It turns out to be interesting as they are not only using the internet but also conversing with one another and just talking about some of these serious issues they bring up.

    I look forward to hearing more of what they have to say. In the meantime, I will work on those translations.

    stay well
    Tamar
