  1. Great Coverage! I have been in Armenia the past two weeks and at many of the demonstrations. Your reporting is very informative and accurate. Thanks for the great work. I will rely on your accounts when I return home to the US.

  2. It appears that Nikol’s main objective is to disband the HHK party. The problem is that would mean pretty much the entire government. So there is going to be a lot of work to do after that if it succeeds. Now who is to blame for all this except the party itself? What were they expecting when they kept both the diaspora and the home public unhappy all these years?
