IF THERE IS OIL, WHO CARES FOR MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE?

The U.S. government expressed its attitude towards the Yerevan Mayor
election by stopping a part of the Armenian financing project of
the Millennium Challenge Corporation. The point is about a road
constructional project, which costs 70 million dollars, with the
help of which village roads were planned to be reconstructed. But
it is clear, that 70 million is nothing for the Armenian government,
moreover the prices for oil are increasing. The stronger Russia is a
stronger country is Armenia, as Serge Sargsyan believes. Consequently,
we do not care about the U.S. 70 million, regardless the fact that in
case the Russians lend money, while the Americans gift it. In addition,
during the 20 years of the Armenian independence, the U.S. gifted as
much money to Armenia, as the whole world with the Russia never lent.
But it is not our fault, but that of the U.S. government, which thinks
that the Armenian government needs only money to make the country
become a normal one. They do not understand that there is no wish,
no thinking. They do not understand that for the Armenian government
money is not a means but an aim. While the Russians understand it very
well, which is the reason why they never gift money to Armenia. They
understand that it will mean to lose money. But until they lend money,
they torture the Armenian government. And they see a very interesting
feature that the Armenian government has: when it borrows money it is
more excited and happy than when it is gifted. The point is that the
debt is to be paid off by money or property, but when money is gifted,
no one knows how it has to be recompensed, as civil thinking is needed
in this case. So it is a great loss for the Armenian government when
Russia does not give a loan to Armenia, but when the U.S. does not
gift money, the Armenian government feels even relieved.
Perhaps, it is difficult to understand all this for the Americans. It
is difficult to understand that a government does not want to better
elementary democratic measurements and take money for free and to
lessen the problems of its citizens. Or maybe they understand it,
or they just started to understand, which is the reason why they do
not give money any longer. Or they want to understand and only after
decide whether to give or not to give money. But it is their problem,
yesterday the oil cost 60 dollars, today it costs 70 and tomorrow it
will probably cost 80, Russia will become more powerful, and Armenia
does not need anything else.
