  1. The Armenian government and the oligarchs have to stop stealing money that should be going to the army and the defense of Artsakh.

  2. Can’t take too long to “think more strategically” It’s a situation of emergency already. What the soldiers at the front line in Artsakh need is more up to date and effective weapons. That’s what should be provided ASAP. OSCE, Russian, American good will may or may not happen. Give the soldiers modern weapons to defend the borders. Negotiations are always more successful, when you are in the stronger position, instead of weaker.
    For U.S. Presidential elections, the forerunners are obvious by now. Which one of them would be more pro-Armenian. Let’s focus on that, make a determination and encourage our people to vote accordingly.
    This is, and is going to be our situation in Artsakh as well as Armenia for a long time. We all need to vote according to that interest right here in U.S.

  3. good interview. It is no doubt a serious issue but I am sure the heart and the spirit is in the right place. The problem is nobody outside the territory has any idea about what the conflict is all about. And that is the biggest problem and specially when some members of the OSCE group have a closed and blinded attitude towards the problem in the area. In the meantime the azeri’s keep breaking all avenues of the ceasefire and not OSCE or that useless mob the “UN” will make comment or accuse and condemn the azeri’s. Yet arms are still the strategic weaponry supply route to the azeri regime – now how does that encourage “PEACE”? A good interview all the same – congratulations.

  4. True Armenian spirit mixed with Christian beliefs run among Karabaghtsi Armenians. May God bless them all!

  5. *** Thank you, good analyses, we need to learn from the mistakes and get stronger politically and militarily, no other way to have “PEACE” until we fully accomplish that. ( Artsakh is the hart of Armenia. )
