Armenia is in trouble folks. We seem to be an old race yet still highly immature in our wisdom and political skill. The more seemingly organized and stable diaspora must get involved in the affairs of Armenia proper or the thiefs and thugs will sell us all. The secretly hatched “protocols and roadmap” scheme is proof enough that Armenia’s ruling oligarghs cannot govern with the skill and true vision of the race as a whole. Otherwise, it is akin to letting the ‘fox watch the hen house’ which is equally absurd. I propose another political party in Armenia whose sole purpose is to represent the will of the diaspora. One that is totally funded by the diaspora. One that represents the greater majority of the Armenian population and it’s vision of true transparent democracy, equality and prosperity for all Armenians in Armenia, final justice and restitution for the Armenian Genocide and a free Karabagh. The days of letting the Armenians run their own country and business is over!
Hi John, I truly sympathise with you. The answer for your justly outcry is within one and only political party that is called social democratic party. In my humble opinion, this party thinks and breaths solely for the Armenian people and for our beloved Armenia. The Diasporan Armenians cannot rule from abroad, even though a majority of them are obviously the remnants left from the Armenian Genocide and loves our Motherland; however they should undoubtedly to be regarded when an event as dire as the destructive “protocols” have to be drawn. The Armenian government must be in Armenia proper and the only one I see that will have vision, ethics, and the love for our Motherland and for our people; is the Armenian Revolutionary Federation.
President OBAMA is a liar. This will be more evident on April 24 when he doesn’t use the Genocide word.
The congressmen who shouted “you lie” was right along with Reverand Wright who said OBAMA is just another politician.
Hye, recent news of the Turkish leaderships, indicate a Turkey that is in decay, decayed, and decaying – while lying to the world that it is a forward moving leadership! Even capable of ‘aiding’
other nations whom Turkey shall negotiate!! Turkey is as a ship that is sinking…
Unburied, the bones of our Martyred now know of the demise they were awaiting for all leaderships that perpetred the Turkish Genocide of the Christian Armenians on their own lands, slaughtering, kidnapping, rapes, of the victims, more . Then Turkish lies, including endless denials of guilt…
Unbelievable – even blaming the victims – as deserving of their slaughters, and more.
Turks, still are of the hordes that emanated from the Asian mountains – stole Armenians lands and culture to be their own. Yet, Turks could never, over the centuries, rise to join with the civilized nations of the world… the Turkish leaderships lead to their own demise – verchabess!
Manooshag
P.S. what now, US lobbyists for a Turkey? what now, U.S. Department of State? what now, Obama?
Unfortunately the Turks have oil companies, weapons makers, EU liberals/apologists, and the US State Department on their side. There is a good chance Turkey can decay from within with regards to the growing alienations between islamists and Kemalists as well as fractures with the Kurds. In the end, the Kurds may find themselves in an advantageous position when this all shakes out although this could take decades. The islamists and Kurds are not growing any less restive, that’s for sure.

God no.
