It doesnt matter that Armenia grew 6.2 percent what is matter is that the economic value of that percentage.I think it is less then Azerbaijans 1 percent grew rate.You cant compare Azerbaijan and Armenia like that.Let say that Armenia grew 10 percent and Azerbaijan grew 10 percent .Is it equal one to another?NO because Azerbaijan economy is far bigger than Armenia.So stop BS about grew rate.Armenia is lost cause because its trapped in Caucasus with lots of enemy states. I know we wont help them in battlefield i ask Cabatlı about other Treats like Iran.Lastly you really should abondon your Horse-Glasses and look the bigger picture here.
Do they offer basic economics courses in Turkey?
You are delusional like any other Armenian.
1: They are private investments, why do you think private investors would invest in something that are not profitable? And who said they are empty? In fact people buy them before they are built, simple, people can afford it. This does not include new buildings of state-based companies and institutions, but as you can guess, most of the construction is private.
2: And it will grow by 9% next year. Do you know what that problem is with BP? BP is not doing their job right, which caused the decrease of oil production, specially during a time when oil prices was high. The decrease of oil production is only to do with BP, not the deplation of oil reserves, otherwise Ilham Aliyev would not slander them at public meeting. FYI, proven oil reserves stands at 2 billion tonn barrels according to the latest official statistic.
5: Maybe because Armenian economy is so small? I would remind you that Armenia had a %14 negative growth in 2008, have they even recovered from that?
6: I showed you images from Nakhchivan, what makes you think that they are unable to defend themselves? They have good equipment and enough numbers, and we all know that all of Armenian military is stationed at east and Karabakh and definetly would so in a war with Azerbaijan.
1. Partially. But there are also public projects, such as a road linking northern and southern Armenia. Gains have been made in domestic production, as well as mining. Even if it wasn't, expansion of private sector is a good thing!
2. Lol no it won't. Who told you that, Sultan Aliev? BP has sound operations, its not its fault that Azeri oil is running out. And I have no idea what a "tonn barrel" is.
5. True, but almost every country was faring poorly at the time. Besides, if you read the Wikipedia exerpt that you are quoting, it is because construction slowed down. It's only natural that GDP would decrease.
6. Because they are cut off from the rest of Azerbaijan. They may have "good numbers" but they also have the highest suicide rate of any division, which makes be question the morale. Besides, Nakhchivan is 100% reliant on Iran for many necessities. I'm sure that, with the help Armenia is giving Iran now, we can persuade them to help us with Nakhchivan.
for now? B-) Believe me, it will be the best thing to invite turkish army for ceremony. Such a fault will block the reaction opportunity of Russia as well. İn this condition i dont know how you will save your army against Turkish army.
Despite the fact that what I am about to say will go over your head, I will indulge anyway. Turkey enters Nakhchivan=Iran intervenes. Add that to the fact that Russia may enter the situation, and you can be absolutely sure that Turkey will stay in there place.
Two questions, if you will allow me :
1) Does Armenia have force-multipliers (AWACs, ATGMS etc.) to maintain some sort of conventional parity with Azrbaijan ! A little like how Pakistan can't compete with India pound for pound (neither in numbers nor in technology) so instead we go for force-multipliers & try to work within the confines of our own dynamics; case in point : We've got between 5-7 AWACs, upper Punjab is laced with ATGMs & other Anti-Tank measures & we've developed a terrain hugging Cruise Missile with stealthy features to target their strategic assets in addition to Battle-Field Missile (even Battle-Field Tactical Nukes) to take out their Forward Basis (FOBs). That may not win us the war but that is deterrent enough to ensure that the other side thinks a 101 times before any misadventure because the casualties could be enormous for little or no gain.
And 2) Is there a chance of Russia (or even the United States) exerting more than just diplomatic pressure if Armenia & AAzerbaijan ever do go to war ?
1. Officially Armenia does not maintain force multipliers. However, it is know that Russia transferred ten non-mobile military assets to Armenia earlier last month. Also, it is known that Russia keeps an excess supply of hardware in Karabakh because, as an unrecognized state, Karabakh is not subject to international regulations. As the second part, you can see for yourself how Azerbaijan hesitates. It claims to have such a huge advantage but does nothing, because it know that 1. the area between frontlines is HEAVILY mined, so any attack would sustain huge losses 2. Armenian SAM's will tear them to shreds and 3. trying to dislodge the joint Armenian/NKR forces given the level of preparedness of Azeri Army is near impossible at this point.
2. Yes. If Azerbaijan invades Karabakh, then Republic of Armenia will intervene. We can assume that Azerbaijan will then attack Armenia (to neutralize this threat of course), at which time Russia will enter on the side of Armenia as per bilateral defense agreements and the CSTO pact.
