“A $300 Million Bribe Was Paid to the American Oligarchy with Armenian Depositors’ Money, and Nobody Knows Who Is Supposed to Put That Money Back…” — Artur Danielyan
The founder of the “Adequate” Union, Artur Danielyan, writes:
“Yesterday, our giants of intellect, having run out of options, had an article commissioned through Bloomberg, where it says that Armenia is supposedly becoming one of Europe’s AI hubs. And the absurdity here is not even the fact that the Hrazdan center cannot compete with any of the leading 150 AI centers in Europe.
Everything is much worse…
At first, we were told that the United States was going to invest $4 billion in the ‘AI factory.’ Then it became clear that it wasn’t $4 billion, but $300 million, and that it is not the United States that is going to invest in Armenia, but Armenia that is going to buy the necessary chips from the United States.
Then it became known that Armenia was going to do this not only with money from local banks, but also with money from our pension fund. Moreover, since the pension fund is prohibited by law from throwing people’s pension money to the wind in such adventures, our legitimates changed that law. Although, of course, it’s not as if the banks invested the bankers’ money either. No, it is the money of the banks’ depositors.
But the combination does not end there. As soon as the Hrazdan center opens, it turns out that nobody needs it, and the government is forced to purchase $25 million worth of services from that institution every year so that they can at least cover their operating expenses. Naturally, nobody was interested in the fact that the government could have purchased that service from any other provider, paying a maximum of $1,000 per month instead of $25 MILLION.
Do you think the ambition of these useless people to gobble up money is limited to this? Naturally, no, because now it turns out that the enormous amount of money that they spent out of our pockets to bribe the American oligarchy (as evidenced by the American press) went toward purchasing chips whose useful life is 2 years. That is, two years from now they will already be technologically obsolete. Three years from now they will begin to physically break down, and five years from now they will become waste subject to accounting write-off.
That is everything that should have been written in Bloomberg… A $300 million bribe was paid to the American oligarchy with Armenian depositors’ money, and as for who is supposed to put that money back—nobody knows… That’s the pleasure of living for today.”
