You Almost Missed Rudy Giuliani’s Bizarre Visit to Armenia
Eclipsed by a media storm over US National Security Advisor John Bolton’s explosive Armenia trip, an even more bizarre visit by another figure close to the Trump administration seems to have gone largely unnoticed.

Misinformation and inaccuracies. Neither Giuliani nor John Bolton were considered or have been Secretary of State.
Guiliani was a “candidate” for Homeland Security or Dept of Justice. He was not nominated to either position.
John Bolton was never the Secretary of State; he was not even on the short list. He was given the post of National Security Advisor at the white House only recently. The secretary of State was Tillerson ( ex CEO of Exxon Mobile) and was replaced by Pompeo.

Thank you for your comment Vart, but I’m not sure where the misinformation lies. First, the article never uses the term ‘candidate’ when discussing Giuliani, so I don’t know why you included it with quotation marks; second, Both Giuliani and Bolton were considered for the position before President Trump finally chose Tillerson. Bolton actually mentioned that he was under consideration during an interview with Fox & Friends on the 1st of December 2016. Giuliani was “one of 4 key contenders” for the position until officially withdrawing his name on the 29th of November 2016. He was later named National Security Adviser as the article correctly states.
Thank you Raffi for highlighting Mr. Giuliani’s visit to Armenia. I was not aware of this fact. Thank you also for providing your analysis of the different speculations surrounding the different actors in the US Administrations and their motives. In this age of “alternative facts” one has to learn to fish in muddied waters and you have helped clear these waters for me.
The cloak of secrecy has been lifted!!!

You actually make it appear really easy together with your presentation however I to find this topic to be really something that I feel I would never understand.
It kind of feels too complex and very vast for me.
I am having a look ahead for your next publish, I’ll try
to get the hold of it!
Hi, yes bizarre but so bizarre; in a tv interview, Juliani said this (after visiting Genocide Memorial): the longer Turkey denies the G., the more problematic it will be for them; I am interested in cyber security….
I looked for an article in the Weekly & did not see it. A friend who is into economics said that “they” want to make Armenia a data storage center, like Switzerland is for money! I then interpreted Mr. Guliani’s & Mr Bolton’s visits in this light. Bolton examined the Karabagh issues & said that it is not easily solved, but, that Armenia was “safe.” Political analysts in Armenia interpreted as the US putting a foot in Armenia vs Iran.
I did not have to read the Article to make a comment. The moment I heard a U.S. delegate visiting ARMENIA, I knew right away that America wants something. Yes, they want a base to attack Iran.
Armenia has only one question for Bolton and Giuliani:
WHere was the U.S. all this time? Let me count the chances they had:
For 103 years and they still did not recognize The first Holocaust of the 20th century that was documented by U.S> president Woodrow Wilson, because Turkey (the enemy) is an ally of you U.S. that can not be offended!!! Hmmmmmm
2. When it came to foreign aid, U.S. cut down the foreign aid to Armenia while they increase the foreign aid to some other countries, and Turkey continue to be the third highest receipient of U.S. aid.
3. Donald Trump continue to build his towers in Turkish Terrorist Azerbaijan.
4. U.S. is heavily investing in Azerbaijan, but building a Grand Tour Nation Race car stadium.
4. U.S. Exon Mobile the giants of Petrolium componies buys millions of barrels from Azerbaijan.
U.S. TV moguls, ABC,NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX and the rest continue to deny airing Armenian issues and Armenian history. Who is behind all this, do you wonder???
And list goes on…
Need I to mention more,
Well, I will after I get an answer to my original question.
Where were you my friend when I needed you?
Bottom line, Armenia can not afford to please America if its thousand years neighbors are in good terms with Armenia.
