Long live the AYF and our ARF youth organizations

“The demands for justice are now embedded in the blood of the Armenian people. You cannot rattle our nerves or change our minds, or treat our people like animals. Try if you dare, but those of you hoping to end the revolution will be all alone in the end.” Rosdom (Stepan Zoryan) May 1, 1896, Droshak. 

On the anniversary of Nikol’s treasonous capitulation to Azerbaijan, the Armenian Youth Federation (AYF), Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) youth organizations and student associations around the world organized protests and expressed their discontent for and opposition to the current regime in Armenia, specifically Nikol Pashinyan and his Civil Contract Party, for the devastation they brought to the Armenian nation; the lies before, during and after the 44-day war; the loss of lives and lands; abandoning Artsakh and Syunik; disregarding Armenian POWS; disrespecting the martyred and the wounded; continuing to concede to the enemy; continuously attempting to normalize relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey; and most recently abandoning the Goris-Kapan highway, essentially isolating southern Syunik.

  1. Great article, based on facts and history. It’s heartbreaking to see the indifference of some so-called leaders who are not facing reality or distorting it. Pashinyan must go and forgot all his US bank accounts….👍🇦🇲👏👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨
