So far we have not responded to the letters of our readers. And not
because they are critical and we do not want to publish negative
opinions. And not because they are full of praise and we do not
want to appear immodest. Simply these letters were in the mode of
approval or debate, which, we thought, would not be interesting for
our other readers.
However, we decided to make an exception for a letter we got on August
24 and publish it. Moreover, our exception stems from the exception
of the letter in the sense that besides being a mere opinion the
letter contains interesting information connected with the topic
of the article "Million in Lobbyist Basket". A reader from
Sweden wrote to us. We present the letter sent by e-mail fully and
without changes.
"Hello, I read the news every day from Sweden on you homepage.
I enjoy it a lot, Even if it is very depressing regarding the situation
in Armenia and I like that you report the truth…becouse only then
change can happen. But regarding you article MILLION IN LOBBYIST
BASKET I just want to say All THAT money spend. If it was sent to
Armenia it would not make a difference because the money in Armenia’s
mafia state corruption the money would just disappear.
The situation whit the corruption in Armenia, is not only hitting
the Armenians in Armenian but also the Diaspora I give you just an
example. In London the Armenian Diaspora owned a sporting facility
whit during the Gumry disaster the Armenians sold to send to Armenian
relief. They sold the complex then for! 1 Million pounds, they sold
it to Bangladeshis, today the sport complex I worth 20 million pound!
The Armenian in London don’t have any wear now to meet and have
different sporting and event activities! And so they slowly lose
contact and disappear and lose their culture and identity … This
is just an example of the destruction of Armenian corruption that
hits the Diaspora …because of the corruption in Armenian.
Yours sincerely
