Welcome to the dark and gloomy days of Armenia during the years of 1992-1996.Those are the times when we walked down the streets of our cities with no electricity at night, stepping on the dog poo varieties and falling into the construction zones.
Those are the times when every Armenian could easily becomea Nobel prize winner in Electrical Engineering. Only the natural modesty kept ourheroes from infringing into the endless spaces of three-phased voltage.Even though these times (hopefully) are gone (allegedly), we, Armenians shalt alwaysbear in our memories the harsh and somewhat funny years of 90's.
Welcome to the Razbirat Twilight Zone

Armenians are always balancing on the edge of anjatums and miacums
