Nobel Peace Prize for Trump; Road for Azerbaijan; Nothing for Armenia As expected, Pres. Donald Trump turned the White House Summit for "peace” in the Caucasus into a farcical show, constantly engaging in self-flattery, taking credit for things he had not done, blaming Pres. Biden, and frequently straying from the subject of the meeting.
Armenians think they are the only ones who lack unity: that is not correct Armenians often lament that they are a divided nation, believing mistakenly that other people are far more united. This perception mirrors families who argue behind closed doors, while assuming that their neighbors live in harmony. It’s a classic case of "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.”
Pres. Trump is not Worthy of Pronouncing the Word Genocide Pres. Donald Trump’s message on April 24, 2025, in which he avoided referring to the Armenian Genocide as genocide, is a shameful reversal of decades of U.S. acknowledgements. Turkish and Azeri circles quickly capitalized on Trump’s statement.
Presidential Candidates Issue pro-Artsakh Statements: You Decide Who to Vote for… In the heated atmosphere of the U.S. presidential campaign, former President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris, have issued statements to Armenian-American voters seeking their support.
Jerusalem Patriarchate wins lawsuit to recover its vast properties in Turkey In 2019, I wrote about the status of the lawsuit filed in 2012 in Turkey by the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem to recover its over one thousand real estate properties confiscated decades ago.
Pashinyan Talks Wrongly about the Diaspora Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met on June 19 with a group of Diaspora Armenians who worked as temporary staff members at various Ministries in Armenia.
Armenia got funding and propaganda from EU and US, but not a single bullet The highly anticipated meeting between high-ranking European, US officials and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took place in Brussels last Friday. Armenians excitedly hyped up the meeting long before it was held.
Revisionist European Rabbis Deny the Armenian Genocide The Rabbinical Center of Europe sent a letter on Sept. 6 signed by 50 conservative Rabbis to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and President Vahagn Khachaturyan, telling them that Armenian officials have no right to use the term ‘genocide’ to describe Azerbaijan’s blockade of the Lachin Corridor since December 2022, causing the starvation of 120,000 Artsakh Armenians.
500 Immoral European Rabbis Sell Their Souls to the Azeri Devil Last month, I wrote about two groups of ‘Righteous Jews’ who urged the government of Israel to intervene with Azerbaijan to open the Lachin Corridor.
Pashinyan Disparages Armenia’s Coat of Arms & National Anthem With each passing day, the situation is getting worse in Armenia and Artsakh because of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s endless compromises to Azerbaijan and Turkey, his defeatist attitude and incompetence.
Pashinyan’s surrender of Artsakh to Azerbaijan is null and void Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has hinted repeatedly since the 2020 Artsakh War that Artsakh is a part of Azerbaijan. This has been his position for years. As a journalist, long before coming to power, he thought that Artsakh is a burden on Armenia.
After abandoning Artsakh, Pashinyan now gives up the Armenian Cause It is simply amazing that every time Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan opens his mouth, he makes a new and bigger blunder. To be convinced of this, all one has to do is follow his speeches, press conferences, contradictory statements in the Armenian Parliament, Facebook postings, flawed decisions and unqualified nominations. To make matters worse, he does not seem to learn from his errors. Pashinyan neither realizes nor admits his mistakes. He seems to be incorrigible.
New Controversy Looms in Jerusalem օver land leased by the Patriarchate As if Armenians did not have enough problems these days with the disastrous developments in Artsakh, we are now faced with a new controversy in the Diaspora. I have received dozens of phone calls and emails from Armenians in various countries, informing me about a new issue brewing at the Armenian Patriarchate in Jerusalem. The details are sketchy and Armenians I contacted in Jerusalem asked that I do not disclose their names fearing either expulsion from the housing provided to them by the Patriarchate or some other retribution.
Armenia’s Defeated Leader Is Unable To Resolve Problems from the Lost War There are three reasons why Armenia is in such a state of chaos and confusion:
Turkey Attempts to Take Over Armenian Properties in Jerusalem An article in the Jewish Press of February 13, 2020 exposed the activities of the Turkish Government to take over the Armenian and Christian Quarters of Jerusalem. The article by journalist Baruch Yedid is titled, “Turkey Working to Take Over Armenian Quarters in Jerusalem’s Old City.”
Donald Trump called Kirk ‘the king’ William Rempel, a veteran investigative reporter, just wrote a comprehensive biography of industrialist and philanthropist Kirk Kerkorian published by Harper Collins. The book is titled, “The Gambler: How Penniless dropout Kirk Kerkorian became the greatest deal maker in capitalist history.”
Professor requests information from Israeli Gov’t Prominent Israeli scholar Yair Auron filed an official request with Israel’s Foreign Ministry on December 21, 2017 asking for all internal documents on agreements and commitments undertaken by the State of Israel with Turkey and Azerbaijan not to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
Armenians Should Reach Out to Trump An unprecedented U.S. presidential campaign came to an end with the unexpected victory of Donald Trump!
Russia & Turkey Isolate Armenia This column attempts to explain the reasons for the sudden rapprochement between Russia and Turkey, which also welcome Azerbaijan, and tangentially Iran, into their fold, while a major confrontation was taking place in Yerevan between an armed opposition group and the police.
Armenians should ensure this is the last Azeri attack The world woke up last Saturday morning to the drumbeats of war from a large-scale assault by Azerbaijan on tiny Artsakh (Karabagh).
