If the Syrian-Armenians could enter Armenia in large numbers and integrate into Russian-Armenian society and enter politics, they might break the back of corruption. The problems is that the Hayastani government probably knows this and that is why it is not doing enough to help the Syrian-Armenians.

I find your comment puzzling! What does a calamity in one country have to do
with corruption in another? And, as the native Armenians there are already
financially challenged, how can they accomodate a large number of immigrants! People have to eat and be housed and must have income/jobs
before that! I suggest that we contribute generously to the many ongoing relief
efforts! I did!
