Once again, links with our ancestors are being broken on land that has always been ours—Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh). Whether the links can be repaired depends mostly on us, and to a degree upon how the world turns.

Dear Knarik,
What an incredible job you did. Thank you for putting so many hours to culminate all these information… Wish you the best…
Another brilliant article by Knarik Meneshian. She takes a complex and controversial subject and presents a clear and historically correct picture of it. Her inclusion of “some of the world’s oldest things have been found in Armenia,” provides the reader with an ancient timeline to these remarkable, ingenious people.
The ancient history of Artsakh and its Armenian inhabitants is accurately described. Turkish and Azeri revisionists will disagree, of course, but Meneshian provides the facts and cites the sources. Regardless, Turkey and Azerbaijan continue their man’s inhumanity to man agenda. Very sad and tragic. May we remember the famous philosopher, George Santayana, who wrote in 1905, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” A lesser known quote of his is “Only the dead have seen the end of war.” Amen.
Thank you, Knarik, for another intensely researched, educational, enlightening, and explanatory article on the history, past and present, of Armenia and Artsakh. Your inclusion of significant, and touching lines of poetry, makes your article even more impressive, moving, genuine, and heartfelt. Your readers gain a wealth of knowledge, and their lives are enriched by your effort and talent.
Thank you Knarik for another well written and documented, educational and enriching historical review of Armenia and Artsakh. It was very impressive to learn about the “worlds oldest things” found in Armenia, the Caucasian Albanians and creation of Azerbaijan 100 years ago.
Thank you dear Knarik for this amazing article documenting historical events embedded in poetic literary style. You did an amazing job of pulling years of historical events that have affected the lives of all Armenians in some way or another in one article. This is a must read for the young generation!
GOD BLESS ALL of YOU OPEN-MINDEDNESS and THANK YOU FOR THIIS MUCH HARD WORK FOR KEEPING ALIVE of TRUTH:
As always, Knarik, your scholarship–meticulous and deep-diving–is coupled with your consumate writing skills to create not just a recitation of past events, valuable in itself of course, but a living and vital experience for the reader!
