That young Armenian deserved so much better than to sacrifice his life like that for a country that has never been supportive of Armenia, but instead, has always favored Turkey and Azerbaijan so much more. Let me remind everyone that America did absolutely nothing back in 1915 to stop the genocide that wiped out the entire Armenian population of Western Armenia.

Anyway, an Armenian is too precious to fight in the wars of other countries; an Armenian should only fight in the wars of his/her homeland. Remember our beloved Monte Melkonian (who happened to be a native of California)? He’s one of the two reasons why we have an Artsakh today. Not only is he the greatest Armenian-American of all time by far, but in addition, he’s one of the greatest Armenian national heroes of all time.
