"From the horse's mouth":Avo voicing from Armenia

Avo and his wife have repatriated and have settled in Yerevan. They are parents to two children who are engineers. Their son lives in Switzerland with his family. Their daughter is single and lives in the U.S. and will be teaching in Stevenson Institute Of Technology  in NJ. He is the brother of Antranig Boghossian. We have been ideologues. Attached is my translation of his quotes from his Facebook page, today, in contrast to the biased reporting by mainstream Armenian Diaspora media.

“Seeing the construction of infrastructure, roads, schools, hospitals, and the necessary implementations in all spheres in the country, you will come to the conclusion that no work had been done in the country for thirty years. It is a pity that those years were wasted.”

"After Kirants, we reached the newly built school in the border village of Voskepar, which is right next to the border. It has 35 students but is designed for 100 people. To be honest, even in Yerevan, until five years ago, I had not seen a state school with this beauty and amenities, halls, classrooms, and playgrounds. Two dozen houses have been built in the village to be provided to our displaced compatriots from Artsakh."

*

"We had gone to the Tavush region, and we said let’s go see the Voskepar church near the border, to see it both from the outside and from the inside. This is the church for which Archbishop Bagrat, went  beyond opposition, marched all the way to Yerevan, accusing the authorities of handing it over to the Azerbaijanis and leaving it on the other side of the border. My wife also lit a candle."

*

"I was sitting at home with a friend, the phone rang, it was my friend’s friend, they started talking and I heard that two different relatives of my friend had won green cards…

This is not a good ending."

*

"I have the impression that many of the opposition group have already realized their mistake. I cannot say the same about the Diaspora, since opposition propaganda is dominant there."

*

"The Ministry of Defense will send a program to the National Assembly to reduce military service by six months, balancing it with certain numbers of contract service. I don’t think the opposition can protest and criticize this program, since it benefits the people living in the homeland. Only the segment of the Diaspora that is opposed to the authorities can express their opposition to this program, since it is not the youth of the Diaspora who are subject to compulsory military service."
