But these folks out here hustling! Just steal some parts from a car and sell it back to the owner. Easy peasy…

Police say it’s ok, most shop owners won’t give anybody access to cameras and there are literally cars everywhere 💸

  1. Wanna add some context to your post? Like, where this is, what exactly they stole, is it your car? etc Or are we supposed to guess?

  2. Azeris in Artsakh used to habitually do this same shit back in the 19th century. They would steal some horses and animals from Armenians, hide it in a location and demand a price from the owners in exchange for the location of the animals.

    Some people say that Qyartu people like this have adopted the worst aspects of the culture of Azeris/Turks and are poisoning our society by spreading it. While I’d say that’s not true in most cases, it’s certainly true in this one.

  3. I don’t know why is that, but it seems that this society has entered a degradation spiral and it’s mostly among young, able bodied yet unemployed men.

    There are more and more murders happening, all following the same pattern of this type of man just attacking someone over a petty issues and of course there are the drugs and other forms of crime. All that combined with a weird hedonistic lifestyle of driving nivas and partying all day (where do they get the money to sustain this lifestyle is beyond me, mom cash has to run out sooner or later) and the rotten vor v zakone mentality, and we end up with what we have.

    You would think these things would die down as time goes on, it’s not the 90s, there are so many better things you do with your life, but at least with my observation it’s getting dramatically worse. Gen-z Qyarts are like the more ruthless version of Milenial qyarts.

  4. Maybe it’s not a good idea to drive a $100K+ car in a country where the average monthly salary is $500?

  5. A new law passed recently that forces business owners to install extra cameras with specific access to the police.

  6. For what it’s worth, this is not exclusive to Armenia – I’ve seen this shit in Russia too, both in Novosibirsk and Moscow. People there target license plates, though – easy to remove, a hassle for the owner to replace, so they often just pay. One time my wife was walking our dogs in Moscow, and she caught that motherfucker in the act, he threatened her with a screwdriver, but ran away because the dogs went ballistic at him.

    If there is one thing I learned about Armenian culture while I was in Yerevan – it’s very tight-knit and community-minded, so don’t let this shit slide – call these lowlifes out and shame them when you can!
