1. Creative and Commendable !!!

2. I admire the concept. However, I think, Armenia needs to develop modern weapon system more than anything else. I hope there is an online mentoring and collaborating opportunity already.

   • How do you know Armenia is not doing it already ?
     You think militaries of RoA and NKR are going to publicize what they do on the web ?
     No country does.
     .
     Armenia’s engineers were working on a homegrown drone for years before anybody knew: then ‘suddenly’, they were in serial production.
     Armenia’s drone was in serial production while Turkey is still testing their Anka (a copy of Israeli drones).
     Azerbaijan still buys Israeli drones.
     And one of those Israeli-made Azerbaijani drones was brought down by NKR military: their engineers figured out a way to crash it when it intruded into NKR airspace.
     .
     Don’t worry: RoA and NKR scientists and engineers are second to none.
     There are lots more where Artem Mikoyan, Sergey Mergelyan, Alexander Kemurdzhian, etc came from.
     .
     Armenians lack one thing, and one thing only.
     Once that problem is solved, watch out.

3. Regarding Papken Hartunian’s post, what Armenian needs now is democracy. When Armenia becomes a democracy, it will be able to develop all the modern weapons systems that it needs and will probably expand territorially. If it remains as it is, it will eventually collapse, as did the first Republic in 1920. The apathy of the people has reached monumental proportions, and it is apathy that kills a country. What will make Armenia strong will be the Armenian people, and the reality on the ground shows that the Armenian people do not want to live and create in the modern undemocratic Armenia. When Armenia becomes a democracy, it will harness and galvanize Armenia’s human resource potential beyond anyone’s wildest imaginations. Rule of law will restore the hope and faith of the people, which will lead to greater investment and reversal of emigration, which will lead to technological advancement, prosperity, and military might. That is what we miss for as long as democracy is denied to the people of Armenia.

4. Regarding the issue of Armenian drones, one of the most dangerous things that we Armenians can do is fall under a false sense of security and blindly be excited by the self-serving propaganda of the Armenian government. It happened with the first republic. In the early 1920, Simon Vratsian stated that everything in the republic was good. Eleven months later, the republic was gone.

   According to online sources, Azerbaijan has 100 drones, while Armenia has 15.

   Is Armenia intentionally severely under-reporting the number of its drones? Noone knows. The massive amount that Azerbaijan spends makes it likely that it will have many more drones than Armenia. And given the conditions in Armenia, it is likely that the quality of the Israeli drones will be much higher than the quality of Armenia’s drones. The higher quality and quantity of Azeri drones will be a deadly combination for Armenia. The fact that Armenia shot down an Azeri drone only means that the Azeris have so many of them that they can afford to test them out in the field to a greater extent than the Armenians. And true, Armenians have many talented engineers, but many of these talents have left or intend to leave the country.

   That is why democracy is a matter of utmost national security for Armenia. Azerbaijan has oil, and our most valuable resource is our human resources. Lack of democracy wastes this only resource that we have, and it wastes it through emigration, apathy, hopelessness, and lack of investment. This all will be reversed when Armenia becomes a democracy. It will spur the national spirit, production, technological advancement–all components that will lead Armenia to become a regional power.

5. I would like to know how many of Luys scholars return back to Armenia after graduation? Yes, they study, acquire knowledge and stay in the UK or other places around the world. Luys should make it compulsory to return back to Armenia or contribute to the development of the home country even when staying in other countries.
   Otherwise, taking the money from the Armenian government, from poor people and develop other, already developed countries, is not the best strategy in this case.

6. Dear Mr/Mrs.
   My daughter Mariam Hakobyan, 18 years old, is a first year student of Queen Mary University, faculty of marketing in London. She graduated from French college in Armenia (2012-2015) with excellent marks and has a qualification of marketer.After college she entered the French University in Armenia, the same faculty, in 2015,and upon finishing her first year she applied to several Universitiesin London and has been successfully admitted to Queen Mary University as mentioned above. She wanted to use the opportunity to get better education and qualification thus she is now a student of the University.I know her to be very accurate,hardworking always doing her best to achieve better results. Her tuition fee as a foreign student is 15,000 pound and with the help of our friends and relatives we managed to pay for the first year.In childhood she unfortunately lost her fatherbecause of car accident, who had been a real patriot and served in Armenian Army in 1990-1993.At present it is hard for me to provide her with such a huge amount of tuition fee and I am trying to apply for scollorship to different companies and organizations for mitigating my burden.
   I would be grateful to you if you could grant her scollorship for the second year as much as it is possible for her to be able to continue her education.
   In case you need extra information regarding her background we are ready to feedback the soonest possible.
   Thank you for understanding and support in advance..
