Rumors of various political actors in the current political scene in Armenia, sometimes interrupted every bar, going to the absurd. But it is not that true or not. And everything revolves around the name kneaded in some dirty little business. Often, even the hero of these rumors are not aware of what they say about him, and not just say and write and print in very popular magazines and on frequently visited sites.

And here websites and print publications are struggling among themselves overtaking each other at the idiocy of titles and debilizme fabrications. What can the reader to consider, finding the title – “The chief of police beat potatoes!”? Only that this site or the media finally gone mad, or rolled down to small provocations.

But of course no one cheats ratings do not think about it. Indeed, precisely because of them being all that rat race. After all, if the elections website or publication will have a high rating, it will be able to sell themselves dearly for anyone who will offer plenty of crunchy green Franklin.

And when you begin to understand it all, and then delve into the details it becomes boring and somehow nasty and unpleasant.

Work is not a wolf and not run away? More flee as!

Christmas and New Year’s fever is over. But people in post-Soviet space has not yet learned how to work for themselves, rather than on party idea. That is why in many countries as the “red days” in the calendar. That’s why people prefer to suffer from a hangover, but not to work for their families and their society.

And it’s not that people do not like to work. The point here is that people feel ashamed if they do not rest on the full, as they may think about God knows what! The neighbors may think them greedy and unfriendly, the relatives can find them stingy and not friendly and, co-workers may find them boring and proteges bosses. And it is a shame.

And nobody does not occur, that live with a bare ass, but not ashamed and just a sign of greed and shortsightedness, greed and sloth? Indeed, in idleness and appear stupid and unconstructive habits. After all, these practices and build the current face of society, reconstructing it for himself. As a result, we get a generation of zombie TV and incorrectly focused on life.

sorry, in a word.

Difficulty understanding, or why I don’t want.

It so happened that at the dawn of mankind of its origin and establishment decided to share their own kind to “us” and “them.” It was then, and there are different kinds of divisions and sub-species.
And I do not mean the division of racial or class lines, there is more separation is of interest. When one part of the crowd realizes that its interests are far more important and more interesting than those of other parts. And here it does not matter what it is about the same, just with a different emotional pitch. Becomes important only for what side are you on.
And it does not matter your other oddities and skeletons in the closet. Indeed, for them you’re on the right side of the road. And you have not just become adherent, and turns into a comrade and brother in arms. For you they will be ready to stand up and support in all your “good” initiatives.
Not in any way imply that you think someone his equal. You just one of all, but all these are the very “right people”. If you are in another camp, then you’re just an enemy. Hate you and they are fighting with you, you draw a scary fairy tales to their children, they call your name every creeping reptiles in the area. But you are and you exist …
And now a clinical case. You find yourself outside the camps. And not because it happens that you’re not interested or do not close the idea of these camps, no. You can share ideas and vision with them. You can even give them good advice, they will take from you, no thanks, and then forgetting about you. But the basic principle in relation to you becomes a principle – “who are not with us – against us”.
You begin to be branded and kicking. And the reason for your rejection may be fairly straightforward and easy as pie bitten. You disgusting self-proclaimed leader of the group, you fundamentally repugnant practices that are struggling, but you are close to the idea! But who cares …
And you give up. You lose the shine in your eyes. Are you looking for yourself in other countries and work not related to the current reality of your country. You throw from one extreme to overestimate the friends and enemies, but can not find a place. Do not do it! Stay yourself! Fight and express their ideas, to defend their ideals, he and like-minded people to reach out to you, not judge and be open.

God grant you survive the holidays!

my dear friends! I would like to congratulate you on Christmas and Happy New Year, but there is always a small but weighty “but.” I myself do not like these crazy holidays, and not because I’m evil and dangerous Troll, but because all this bothersome.
But by a strange coincidence, I recently became a required to plead and bustles. And not because I became a a good helper of Santa or the Snow Maiden, but because I became a father of the child who is the first New Year!
And so, hello trouble, how do you running and bustle. Holiday Tree bought and dressed up, the house is decorated and illuminated. Gifts are bought and continue to arrive. While the budget, having received such a huge hole below the waterline, is sinking. But I like the captain of a ship, do not leave the ship, and stand steadfastly New Year’s mess.

And if you manage to fight off all the trouble this year.

How do I do, then you will be a gift that I want, but it does not reach everyone:)

Steve Jobs has put the Turks to a standstill with a question …

vozni — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 10:31:02 +0000

Below you are presented with the original story of what happened Turk. Therefore, there will be attended by the phrase “so-called genocide” and other hard Türkizms translatable.

http://www.mahmutlu.com/jobs.html

Around five years ago. To schedule a tour finishes in Istanbul from the Mediterranean to arandım. Guidance to passengers going to a VIP. Not know the passengers of a luxury yacht from our country, and also did not know the slightest about the name is already in the söylenmemişti me. Just the name of all the VIP passenger charters usually learn later. This is much of interest to you at first, more of a problem is security related.

BA’s name, and Apple CEO Steve Jobs that I have learned after the start of the tour. Luxury boat from the shores of the Mediterranean sea journey will end in Istanbul, but the important historical sites to visit along the coast near the boss and his family receive the appropriate marinas or harbors gezdirecektik. These types of trips everywhere, unpronounceable name. Instead, or “boss” or “mister” is called. This is not to draw attention to people who also dressed very simply. Steve Jobs, dressed in the plain and ordinary-looking just like that.

Everything looked fine. From time to time and in the evening there was no stress on myself to bed Atsam difficult, gezdirdiğim person is Steve Jobs, and I quickly forgot about them I thought would be a good reference for the future. The boss usually uncommunicative, who was one of caution and a lot of listening. More talks to his wife, and would ask says. The boss is a very rare and sometimes on a few topics özetlerdi questions sometimes. Said in a voice choked, and a deep, multi-taught learners of mood. His wife is more attractive, more talkative and more like one of us. In general, requests and criticisms that I realized what you liked and what beğenmediklerini wife.

Such guidance to routinely rounds many yapılamadığından and general procedure can not apply an agent, tour guide, driver and crew including the captain of the boat, especially, were in full tension and panic. It’s all go the way of everyone he trembles on the program, occasionally something goes wrong in spite of everything, and in this case would double the hustle and bustle. I have at least 1 hour before departure time of the morning, şoförse at least 1.5 hours before we were there. Everything was checked repeatedly. Every step we take that we have come miles and provided information for the agency, operation manager, etc. was kept informed. Also fails to stand the boss, keep your complaints, and also not done what is required for. This afternoon, when the knees so do not go limp, could not put my feet. Tour program is longer than it seemed in a separate state of stress and fatigue.

As I said with a tour of Steve Jobs would find in Istanbul. Boats from Troy to a full day after watching the Sea of Marmara in Istanbul, Ataköy Marina, docked. Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace, Dolmabahce known here, especially, such as the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar gezilecekti places. Since the last days of the tour, warm and sincere dialogue among us than in the first days had begun to evolve.

Ataköy Marina, the first day that the boss Steve Jobs’la buluşmamızda short period of time to chat though mutual, the tour had the opportunity to talk out issues in general. At one point that was left open for ventilation through the window caught my eye. Steve Jobs, Apple laptops showed me to release very soon. Kutusundaydı I think the two of them. Rounds and I were very satisfied and, therefore, one of them said they would present to me at the end of the round. Was very happy. My boss sweet smile on his face he will never forget the warm conversation.

Jobs Hagia Sophia was the place where most want to see and wonder. We started the tour. Saw that we had yet to happen and eagerly asked the minarets of the Hagia Sophia. In return, I, while the former church converted to a mosque after the conquest, in the south-east corner of a brick minaret was added to the transaction told. Then the questions started to come straight to me: “This is what happened to the Christians?”, “You millions of Muslims in non Muslim, what have you done?” etc.. You open my mouth, “the genocide of Armenians seized 1.5 million. You tell us. How did it happen?” were asked the question, and this was the last straw.

In fact, this is not your position but I told him I’d have to break anlatımıma normal in the face of persistent questions. So if I had to enter the Armenian Question. Flatly rejected the genocide in Ottoman Turkey at that time and it worked, especially foreigners, senior Admiral Bristol, General Mayewski, and supported the General Harbord’un reports describing. Harbord and Mustafa Kemal spoken conversation, the same general who returns to his country (the so-called) Armenian genocide bill the Senate discussed a report prepared on the Ottoman territory, and offers a very clear written here, I told the truth. Although the Ottoman subject of Anatolian Armenians in the Ottoman-Russian War and the First World War, they have hit the back and betrayed the Ottomans, the Turks in the villages that I have done countless massacres. In addition to him, “There is no genocide, there are mutual mukatele” the fact that we can support many more numbers in the document archive, this topic by examining reports of their officials when they return to their country can receive more detailed information, said. Diaspora events and distort facts, pointed out the nourishment of hatred instead of friendship. This is not your position, not unpleasant, would be a nice place to speak of matters told him. In cultural terms, informative talk about things, according to the concept of the round would be more accurate and on-site reminded one more time.

With this speech, they understood that they were Armenian Diasporası’ndan. Name and surname, but later gave me the impression that all Jews be deported ancestors were driven from Turkey to Syria and, therefore, that the Armenians in the United States and the so-called Armenian genocide Diasporası’ndan I noticed that they advocate. His wife, in the same way, even more impulsive as opposed to my explanation, I did not want to even listen. So, I’m aware of the full 10 days without an anti-Turkish Armenian American families, both active members of the diaspora ağırlıyordum.

Not my words and opinions that might undermine the opposing hoşlanmamışlardı Anlattıklarımdan. He and his wife’s facial expressions can not tell you. He looks pretty bad the opposite was now being replaced by facial expressions. Tour boat in half, cut and wanted to return. I refused doing genocide, nationalism, and şövenlikle accused. I informed the agencies that call. They were naturally anxious this unpleasant development.

Steve Jobs and his wife, Marina, the boat next to us Atakoy meet the owner of the agency said today’s round, not at all satisfied. They wanted to leave earlier than expected, and private planes from Istanbul earlier in the day before, was called. I did transfer. Do not speak a single word with me, even up to the aircraft uğurladım them. But my hand was held out my hand to shake hands in the air and left me and farewells. What an envelope, nor the Apple laptop as promised! Is not important. After that time, but did not expect to remain in the air already outstretched hand and a very senior position, such crudity of the man, driving attitude adopted by many truly astonishing.

I understood everything and, at the level of genius as Steve Jobs is a very intelligent man, a Turkish book asks how an answer to the question of genocide had hoped, do not understand it. Did not think the answer will, which was estimated to have not reacted, it could not figure out. I have served them for 10 days. As a result, extending a friendly hand was in the air. Also have not kept their word. Required by the generosity of the rich never fading away.

In spite of everything I heard from him that I regret to report an illness of whom come across and I continued to send my regards. After all, Steve Jobs and his family as one of my misafirimdi aware of it until the last day and I did not fault their service. We are Turks, hospitality, hot dostluklarımızla a nation that is recognized worldwide. Kin not move, but we carry a heart full of love. I did it, as will any Turkish guide.

Dirty game of the Kremlin and the opposition

vozni — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 06:43:32 +0000

The political struggle in Russia moves into a new stage. Beginning to be used “dirty technologies”. All this means that kindergarten is over and now the Kremlin’s “elite” begins to play on a grand scale.

Yesterday on one of the government-controlled sites were published phone records of one of the opposition leaders Nemtsov. The main purpose of publication, in my opinion, is to discredit Nemtsov as a politician, as well as the introduction of discord in the ranks of the opposition.

In these audio recordings Nemtsov is coordinating talks and private interviews with his helper and other coordinators of the opposition movement. They plan to organize the rally, scheduled for December 24. In this case, Mr. Nemtsov uses very abundant profanity and not always flatteringly of his supporters and associates.

However, it should consider the fact that in today’s Russian realities use foul language in everyday conversation is not something that out of the ordinary.

In turn, the opposition has not yet decided on the counter measures, and Nemtsov filing a lawsuit is as toothless as a minimum. But today comes from the conclusion of another opposition leader, Mr. Navalny. It features a large radicalism and intransigence of the authorities and the current ruling party. But Mr Navalny and marked as an adherent of nationalist ideas, which does not always play into the hands of “liberals” in opposition.

We will wait for continuation …

A person’s mood often depends not only on how he slept, what he ate or how much he earns.

The complexity of nature is caused by the environment and its impact on each particular person. Of course, class affiliation, although it is very vague and fuzzy category that directly affects the way of thinking. I do not want to offend anyone, but people are not able to think of creative self-realization or protection of their rights as a citizen, if he empty his pockets and a belly echoes the voice of a hungry stomach.

But at the same time, sometimes there comes a time when the hungry masses feel tired, not only hungry but also cheated. And people begin to act. In different countries in different ways, but the script is almost the same everywhere. Are found not honest and unscrupulous people who are willing to use tension and dissatisfaction in their own interests, with absolutely no concern for solving the problems that caused it is the power of the masses. All this often leads to frustration and apathy, which adversely affects the formation and flourishing of civil society and its institutions. But, even worse, it could lead to a backlash when protests are replaced by riots and disobedience. And the riots, as you know, not controllable and predictable. Which in turn does not add clarity to the picture of tomorrow.

So maybe there is still a force that can turn into a productive civilian requirements and will provide a channel of creative force, which will help the prosperity and the establishment of a small but proud country? Or, again, will have to choose the least of two evils? After all, how can we expect, is not it time to take the country’s future for our children in our hands … It’s time!

Very difficult to meet all the needs that seem topical realities, and in fact are the usual tinsel. And so trying to be myself affected and only write about what interested me most and touches threads inside me.
