Save Our Nation: An Agenda for the Diaspora

Armenians will never forget this moment. We will never forget this pain, this betrayal, this loss. The war has opened our eyes. We can see now that it’s laughably, risibly foolish to hope that prospering in the West means anything. From Paris to Los Angeles, we have precisely nothing to show for our unprecedented polit

  1. Amen. Thank you for this, Hagop. You expressed something I have felt intuitively, but not been able to properly in words.

  2. Such an important article. Thank you for this Hagop. Every single Armenian should read this a couple of times and understand the message you’re sending to our people.

  3. Dear Armenian friends. I am Greek.
    I was following the events of this war and I was praying the best for you.
    Unfortunately, the result was not good. But you must never give up. NEVER!
    Along with a careful analysis of the mistakes done so far,
    a substantial strategic alliance between our nations is vital.
    Not only because of our common enemy, but also because of our common way of thinking.

    Our enemy has advantage, but with combined forces we can increase our chances.

    Love and respect from Greece.

  4. YOUR WORDS HAVE A DIRECTION AND FAITH WHICH ARE TO BE RESPECTED. EVERYONE HAS AN ANSWER OR OPINION WHICH HAS SOME MERIT. WHAT WE NEEDED WAS SOME BRILLIANCE FROM THE FORMER BRILLIANT MILITARISTS OF ARTSAK AND PERHAPS A BOOST FROM THE SO-CALLED ARMENIAN TECH-CYBER CAPACITIES. TRUTH IS WE INFLICTED NO MATERIAL DAMAGE TO AZERI CITIES AND INTRASRUCTURE-NO PAIN NO GAIN. THEY HAD BODIES TO SPARE WE DIDN’T. MUTUAL ASSURED DESTRUCTION IS ALL WE CAN DEPEND ON TO PREVENT/FOR THE FUTURE ENGAGEMENTS. CHESS MATCHES WILL NOT DO MUCH. CLUSTER BOMBS? GET YOUR OWN ”SUPER WEAPONS. IDIOTS ARE MAKING THEM IN DROVES. NEVER TAKE A KNIFE TO GUNFIGHT.BRAVERY BE PRAISED BUT DON’T SHOOT THE PM FOR PLAYING THE ONLY CARDS HE HAD.

  5. Hagop it is an interesting article that I loved reading and I saved it. If every Armenian ( or most ) of us follow your aspirations and inspirations we will certainly become a great nation. God bless you.

  6. In the last few weeks, I read many of these introspection-type analyses. Dear Hagop, yours tops all of them. Congratulations and thank you for your great piece.

  7. The jews didn’t stay in Babylon after the exile, they returned to Israel. Why, I wonder, do Armenian-Americans not return to Armenia in greater numbers? I agree – comfort and easy-times for Boomers and Americanization. If I were Armenian American and had the choice, I’d go to Armenia and live there because it is the homeland.
