This topic might cause a few debate questions. But it’s from my personal observations after spending a decent time in both countries ( Georgia and Armenia)

Personally, I experienced racism and mistreatment as a male Australian Asian tourist in Georgia during my 10 days of traveling ( got spit when people walk nearby, yelled by service staff, cashiers threw receipts instead of handling gently, nasty people in general). The kindest people I’ve encountered is the very old grandma in Mestia and some of old ladies in country side. Old men are generally so rude and agressive, especially drivers.

When i crossed the border and enter Armenia, everyone is completely different: people are kinder, not particularly smiley but less grumpy, custom border staff are kind and communicative, capital of Yerevan is modern and ive not experienced such NEGATIVE things like in Georgia so far in last 4 days.

I’m aware of economic factor of Georgia and the historical war that affects their feelings in general. But my question is that do you guys think the same about citizens in these both nations ?

They published an editorial that Nikol is leading the destruction of the Armenian nation and people. Here is the exact title:

> Is It Inadvertent that the Civil Contract Regime’s Plans Lead to the Complete Destruction of the National Character of the Armenian People and Homeland?

Ridiculous. And makes one wonder where this editorial was when Kocharyan and Sargsyan were in power, and actually robbing the nation blind while driving massive emigration out of the country?

Here's the pathetic editorial that tries to back up the title, and fails miserably:
