  1. Congratulations to Lillian for being promoted to Assistant Editor 👏. Please don’t forget that Artsakh & Nagorno Karabagh as well as Nakhichevan are ‘de jure’ an inseparable part of Armenia 🇦🇲 according to International Law. See the Arbitral Award of the President of the United States of America 🇺🇸 Woodrow Wilson, Washington, November 22nd, 1920. According to the diplomat & former Ambassador to Canada, Mr Ara Papian, who has studied International & Inter State Relations for the past fifteen years, Arbitral Awards never go out of date. Nagorno Karabagh 🇦🇲 is ‘de jure’ part of Armenia 🇦🇲 & doesn’t need independence, only rejoining Armenia & International peacekeepers. Independence for Artsakh is neither viable nor guarantees security. Help the National Democratic Alliance (AJB) achieve the ideals of Dashnagtsutune, Azad Angakh Hayasdan, Wilsonian Hayasdan & the Treaty of Sevres.

    1. Your “international law” is not even worth the paper it’s printed on. Your kind ruined Armenia.

  2. What or who would you prefer to rely on? Putin? Oligarchs? My kind? What kind is that exactly. Are you not being a little presumptuous?
