  1. *** Thank you Mr. Mensoian, every thing you said was totally on the mark, & I agree with you, we in diaspora need to galvanize our resources for rebuilding and whatever is required for ultimate victory in Artsakh .!!!
    *** Artsakh is the hart of Armenia ***

  2. Very true! I wish these sort of articles were published in newspapers targeting wider national/social audience. At the end of the day, still Artsakh needs the international support.

  3. Michael Mensoian has got it absolutely right. The survival of Artsakh has to be the number one priority of evèry single Armenian in Hayasdan and the diaspora. Casting aside all trivial differences of opinion , we must all stand up as one body and boldly fight for our rights . Should we fail in this holy mission, we shall have no right to call ourselves Armenians.

  4. Mr. Mensoian,
    Your analysis is to the point, yet generalized. Most of us know the history well. What we talk about is “What happened on which date ” It does not help the cause ANYMORE, because more is happening RIGHT NOW. To be specific; what do you suggest each Armenian do ? To build, so that it would be destroyed again ? To heal the injured, so that more would be killed ?
    What Artsakh needs ASAP, is a strong defense. Modern military equipment, bombers, tanks, helicopters etc. To see the Azeri tanks and what the Armenians have as tanks, is pitiful. How can these two compete ? You’ve had military experience, lead people through that.

  5. It is very important that the corruption in Armenia is brought under control and the oligarchs banished from our motherland. Every pound they steal from the nation can be used to supply arms and defenses. Their greed is indirectly costing lives and a weak economic Armenia.

  6. Very well written analysis and as many field commanders and others have said, we cannot trust these bastards (Turks) and we lose Arstakh, we will lose Armenia. One more thing. TWO DOLLARS A WEEK by every Armenian all around the world will give us 500 MILLION DOLLARS every year. We don’t need oil or gas. Just consistency in giving TWO DOLLARS a week. You may ask how could this happen? believe me when we believe in what we do all things are possible.

  7. MR L.K.J.
    You are right. the weapons Azeris have we may not have. But we have people. We have people who have big hearts and believe in Arstakh as well. What we have seen in the month of April when this short aggression began, the mobilization of our nation, leaders, veterans and military leaders who have responded to the call is and was amazing. Mr Mensoian has seen his days and can help with his writing. I can assure you that we have military leaders in our country that we don’t even know. And …they are there in the present moment. Believe me something has change in our psyche. War is a terrible thing and it is not pleasant. However, we have seen many wars and we are a fighting nation.

  8. We must also remind that Little Sultan, that before him there was Khankhoyski, Jivanshir Bay, and he knows what happened to these so called leaders…

  9. Diaspora Armenians can not give blood, but we must give help by paying some amount of money Avery months like tax for Mother Land, I hope we establish some organization and pay this taxes.
