You guys are awesome! I’m a repeat too. Moving to Armenia was one of the best decisions in my life. Let’s rock!

[CaptainHarlock-kvzt]

Stay strong my Armenian brothers.
All the love from this Greek here.

[acctutil]

Love your news and life coverage for Armenia.

[AkravHistory]

Packin' my bags, let's go!!

[AramDerStepanian]

Thankyou for the discussion you had . I’ll be visiting Armenia in the next couple of weeks from Australia and hope to see the positive and negative aspects you discussed

[rafishgn]

A great episode. Thank you so much for the positivity and the objective point of view of what's going on in Armenia. Genats.

[ernestpetros]

The most beautiful background by far. Good job Eric.

[rafisarkis]

I’m so jealous. Sitting here in a San Francisco office slogging away while I listen to you gentlemen celebrate the good life on beautiful lake Sevan! Cheers.

[adobo]

In Armenia, the lack of accountability is a turn-off.

[ayaearth]

Enjoyed your talks specially with such a beautiful background of the lake Sevan. What a great idea!

[Yerevan-yloh]

Having such a diaspora is our treasure, because together as Armenians from all over the world we can bring best practices from the West, Russia and Arabic world to our country to build our homeland together. Much love to the civilnet for your videos ❤

[jerryavetisyan]

Thank you guys for posting this video. I think we can use more of this as it shapes the incorrect view outside of Armenia, and also inside of Armenia. Cheers.

Is there still hope for Armenian population to grow despite the fact of migration? My dream is for Armenia to be able to populate the country like the Netherlands almost 20 million.

[sonyakahn]

Thank you for creating and sharing this video. The topic you chose is both helpful and informative!

[ChuntSemerciyan]

Thank you folks. I love your positive attitude. I reside in Los Angeles. About 54 years now. Unfortunately we have the same problems in USA. Armenians, find various different reasons to feel superior to the the other group of Armenians. Time will heal everything. Average people will change, once the bolshevik residue diminishes . Let's be tolerant to each other. Thank you again. All the best.

[Petrosian]

I am moving Yerevan next year I have appartment
Split my life between Yerevan, Paris and Washington DC

[marinanercessian]

About time someone thought of clearing up this misunderstanding and shedding some light on the reality vs the myth. Thank you to Patrick for doing this program.

[karinehakobyan]

Thank you very much, gentlemen! It was very insightful.

[SYR]

I also moved to Armenia and I like both gentlemen's analysis.

For some DIASPORA ARMENIANS, it is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to have the armenian citizenship: BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
