Friday 25 October 2024 11:22 The story of “eavesdropping” of the Kocharyan-Burjanadze meeting Parliamentary elections are scheduled in Georgia for October 26, the results of which will be important not only for the country itself but also for the entire region. In light of this, I decided to share a story that happened 20 years ago.

Saturday 27 April 2024 08:50 Erdogan’s and Afeyan’s remote “dispute” and the real danger On April 23, President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan said:“I hope that Armenia will get rid of the darkness that the Diaspora has enslaved them and choose the way to make new beginnings for a bright future. Doors of opportunity are not always open. Not only the Diaspora, but also many circles are trying to influence Armenia in this process. I hope that Armenia will choose the right path and that a new era will begin in the region.”

17 March 2024 22:07 “Tango for two”: NATO Secretary General’s visit and jailed Davit Tonoyan After a long break, the Secretary General of NATO is scheduled to visit Armenia. The last visit of the head of the North Atlantic Alliance to Armenia dates back to September 2012, with Anders Fogh Rasmussen occupying this position at that time. The incumbent NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met three times: twice in New York and once in Davos. Their recent meeting was in September 2022, a few days after Azerbaijan launched an attack on Armenia’s territory.

Monday 11 March 2024 15:33 Be Armenian, Be in jail? A few days ago, we hosted Suzanna Shamakhyan, the Vice President at the FAST Foundation, at our Mediamax office. In partnership with Viva-MTS, we implement the Get Started educational program for high school students, and Suzanna shared with them how to avoid the most common mistakes while establishing a startup.

Thursday 22 February 2024 09:09 Missak Manouchian and Kamil Zeynalli, love and cannibals President Aliyev,On February 21, in the early hours, “fitness trainer” Kamil Zeinalli, wanted internationally by Armenia and accused of war crimes, was detained in Moscow. I believe that, thanks to your efforts, the Russian side “demonstrated humanity” and that same evening released a person accused of the gravest crimes.

Saturday 14 October 2023 09:24 The fates of Carlos Ghosn and Ruben Vardanyan Ten years ago, in September 2013, I received a call from Ruben Vardanyan.- Carlos Ghosn is in Armenia. If you want, you can interview him, I have his prior consent.

Saturday 15 July 2023 09:22 Cesar Gueikian and Ahmet Ertegun This week, we learned that Gibson Brands’ Board of Directors has confirmed Cesar Gueikian in the position of the company’s President and CEO.

Tuesday 4 April 2023 15:38 Armenian speaker spits but the West says “it’s raining” Recently, along with several other media executives, I have been invited to an off-the-record meeting with the newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to Armenia Kristina Kvien.

Wednesday 29 March 2023 15:47 The grave political consequences of sloppiness and short-sightedness I think the authorities of Armenia would give a lot today not to find themselves in the situation created after the Constitutional Court’s decision on March 24 that the obligations stipulated in the declaration on the retroactive recognition of the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) comply with the basic law of Armenia.

Saturday 11 March 2023 09:05 De Waal and Mandelstam’s Tristia I think many of you have heard about Thomas de Waal. He is one of the few Western experts who is really informed about our region and the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Recently, he has published "Armenia’s Year of Uncertainty” article, the excerpts from which we presented on our website.

Friday 10 February 2023 15:49 The 23 years, BBC Monitoring and Armenia-Wales football match Losing any subscriber (no matter how much they pay) is always painful. And although almost always the reason for canceling the subscription is not due to the quality of our services, but to internal issues of the subscriber, something bitter always remains. But when this week I received a letter from Sarah Poissonnier from BBC Monitoring, informing me that due to the budget and editorial policy changes, they are forced to cancel their subscription to Mediamax, I had no bitterness. Moreover, I was proud that we have been the provider of one of the most important news services in the world for 23 (!!!) years.

Monday 19 September 2022 15:52 Pelosi, Taiwan, Amulsar and Hatis During the visit of the Speaker of U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi people often mentioned Taiwan where she visited recently.

Wednesday 25 May 2022 18:13 Pashinyan “incriminates” Charles Michel and takes us for idiots I do not like writing an article "hot on the trail”, the topic should "boil” vaporizing the emotions as much as possible. But after what Nikol Pashinyan said in the National Assembly on May 25 I can not restrain myself.

Friday 22 April 2022 09:25 “100 seconds” and our true friends On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in 2015 Mediamax realized "100 seconds” project. The key message was that what happened in 1915 was not only a huge political and humanitarian catastrophe but a terrible chain of personal tragedies.

Wednesday 13 April 2022 18:06 Another “repentance” of the one who starts “from scratch” Speaking at the National Assembly on April 13, Nikol Pashinyan said that he "should be blamed not for handing over the lands, but for not doing it.”

Thursday 20 January 2022 14:59 “The world,” “the determining moment” and our same mistakes After 2020 war I keep on asking myself on different occasions, well, what else could be more terrible than this to shake ourselves and make fundamental changes in our perceptions? I asked myself this question again on January 19 when Armenia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan commented on Aliyev’s statement that "the co-chairs should not deal with Nagorno Karabakh conflict since it has already been settled. We have settled this issue instead of them.”

Saturday 15 January 2022 09:49 “Tango” for three – Rubinyan, Kilic plus Rudenko The first meeting of the special envoys of Armenia and Turkey Ruben Rubinyan and Serdar Kilic took place in Moscow on January 14. Following the meeting, Armenian and Turkish foreign ministries issued same-content messages, describing the meeting as “positive and constructive.” It is clear that the text was prepared and agreed by the parties before the meeting, which indicates that despite the claims of the Pashinyan government, the Armenian-Turkish process unfolded still before the meeting of the special envoys.

Friday 1 October 2021 00:00 Global Matenadaran and Armenian “Finlandization” On August 15, 2020 – a month and a half before the war – Armenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement expressing “unconditional support” to Greece and Cyprus and urging Turkey take steps to reduce the tension in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Wednesday 29 September 2021 00:00 “To Forget” Tigran the Great and Create Values I was 18 when we won the war in 1994. I have lived all my adult life as a citizen of a victorious country. Until November 10, 2020, when we woke up in another country. I think it is possible to draw certain parallels with the feelings our parents had when the Soviet Union collapsed: in 1991 my mother was younger than I am now.

Monday 27 September 2021 00:04 Strong and flexible economy should become our only ideology It happens that writing an article takes several months. Sometimes you must leave the topic to live in your head, to “boil” well and only then hand to reader’s judgment. On November 10, 2020 I decided to write a column and analyze the reasons of our defeat. But when pain, anger and bitterness are mixed, it is difficult to write cold-heartedly. So, it took me ten months to be able to formulate my thoughts. Over time, I realized that it would be difficult to fit everything in one text and decided to write a series of articles consisting of three parts.
