Q&A: Do you see the future of your children in Armenia?

Dialogue

Our previous question was: "Do you see the future of your children in Armenia?"

84 of those who participated in the poll said "No", 67 said "Yes". We also had a similar discussion on our Facebook Generation Center page. Some of the participants said "Yes," some said "No," but it seems like most agree that the Armenia we have now, no matter how patriotic we are, no matter how much we love our country, which we have no doubt you do, still raises serious concerns when it comes to deciding weather this is the place we believe can be the best place for our children.

That's why we think that each of us has to try to find answers to the other question: what kind of Armenia would you want to live in, what has to change in the only Motherland we have in order for us not to have second thoughts on whether our lives, the lives of your children can be, should be lived in this country.

When we all come up with a list of things we want to change, with a list of things we want to see in Armenia, with a list of things that are obstacles for that positive change, each of us has also to find an answer to another question: What is it that I can do to change one thing, or 10 things or 20 things from those lists? What is it that I can do to help those who can change? That is the only way we all will ever live in a country in which we want our children to live. This is the only Armenia we will have in order to turn it into the country of our dreams, the country our grandfathers dreamed of. So, let's try to use that chance, whether in Armenia or in Diaspora.

 
What Do You Think
Is there a possibility of an imposed solution on Karabakh?
 

Our last question was, "Which spheres require urgent reforms?" We suggested a few spheres to focus on: the political system, the economic system, the judicial system, education and mass media. Typically, we receive a similar distribution of answers on both the Armenian and English Civilitas sites.
