Garen Mouths Off

Iran and an Unpalatable Apology

So, we’re told there’s a big revolution, or at least the beginnings of one brewing in Iran, stemming from the questionable results of the June election there and the popular movement those have ignited. I’ve had some trouble digesting this. And, given some recent snippets I’ve heard, I’m even more torn.

No theocracy is legitimate—be it manifested in Europe’s medieval divine right of kings, the Ottoman Sultanate, Israel’s current practice, or Iran’s “Islamic Republic” (an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one)—and ought to be terminated.

Garen Yegparian

Garen Yegparian is a fat, bald guy who has too much to say and do for his own good. So, you know he loves mouthing off weekly about anything he damn well pleases to write about that he can remotely tie in to things Armenian. He's got a checkered past: principal of an Armenian school, project manager on a housing development, ANC-WR Executive Director, AYF Field worker (again on the left coast), Operations Director for a telecom startup, and a City of LA employee most recently (in three different departments so far). Plus, he's got delusions of breaking into electoral politics, meanwhile participating in other aspects of it and making sure to stay in trouble. His is a weekly column that appears originally in Asbarez, but has been republished to the Armenian Weekly for many years.

  1. …why on earth would any Armenian host a dinner for Yovanogloo????…especially after Obamogloo’s blunder. I would be so repulsed by her presence that the last thing I would be able to do is eat. What were the event organizers at Ferrahian thinking? Do they not follow the news or bother to turn on the television or pick up a newspaper once in a while??????????…perhaps this is too much to ask.
    All this wrongheadedness is giving me an ulcer. Keep up the great work Garen. The fight continues.
