Raffi Bedrosyan
Raffi Bedrosyan is a civil engineer, writer and a concert pianist, living in Toronto. Proceeds from his concerts and CDs have been donated to the construction of school, highways, and water and gas distribution projects in Armenia and Karabakh—projects in which he has also participated as a voluntary engineer. Bedrosyan was involved in organizing the Surp Giragos Diyarbakir/Dikranagerd Church reconstruction project. His many articles in English, Armenian and Turkish media deal with Turkish-Armenian issues, Islamized hidden Armenians and history of thousands of churches left behind in Turkey. He gave the first piano concert in the Surp Giragos Church since 1915, and again during the 2015 Genocide Centenary Commemoration. He is the founder of Project Rebirth, which helps Islamized Armenians return to their original Armenian roots, language and culture. He is the author of the book "Trauma and Resilience: Armenians in Turkey - hidden, not hidden, no longer hidden."

Armenians are the only people in the world who knew and warned that the true nature of Turkey was authoritarian and anti-human rights.
The US, Europe, and Israel have always fooled themselves about Turkey (and Azerbaijan).
Armenians warned them, but they would not listen.
Now the Russians are cozying up to Turkey and Azerbaijan – two countries whose goal is to eventually destroy Russia.
Putin is making a huge mistake, and Armenians will pay the price.
onnik- we, as Armenians have always paid a price for everything.
Raffi, do you really think pigs might still fly . . .
Erdogan has been rattling his anti-democratic, anti human rights for years, but his recent spate of vindictive megalomania has revealed him up for what he is: an authoritarian Islamist. He has been able to get away with his obnoxious behavior because of American’s fetishistic reliance on Turkey’s bases for staging wars in the middle east (incirlik air base being one). When America wakes up to itself, perhaps Erdogan, like Assad, will become relegated to the category of “dictator”.
Turkey is arming itself at an aggressive rate with its own domestic weapons manufacturing. Turkey’s proclivities against its neighbors such as Greece, Cyprus, Syria, Iraq are now backed up by false public announcements about the Lausanne Treaty. The Treaty which defined the borders of modern Turkey states clearly that Turkey gives up all its rights on any islands more than three miles from the Asia Minor coastline, yet Erdogan and the opposition party debate out loud in parliament how to get back 139 (or 132 or just 18) islands supposedly illegally occupied by Greece! This nationalistic frenzy is not going to end well.
