Mr. Prime Minister, please don’t sign away our dignity

May 24, 2023 Stepan Piligian 2

I never thought the day would come that I would witness the ceding of historic Armenian land (the ancient province of Artsakh) to a barbaric oppressor. My generation has debated the loss of Western Armenia, […]

Diaspora Values, the Homeland and Patriotism

May 17, 2023 Stepan Piligian 1

One of the most under-appreciated behaviors in our communities is the remarkable generosity of diaspora Armenians. We are, for the most part, familiar with the diaspora-based non-profits that accomplish miracles every day with their heroic […]

The Diaspora has a unique understanding of Artsakh

May 10, 2023 Stepan Piligian 0

The Armenian government has been defending a new policy on Artsakh since the 2020 war, but the debate continues in the diaspora and Artsakh. A major strategy of Pashinyan’s “peace agenda” is to concede two […]

A Tale of Two Dioceses

May 3, 2023 Stepan Piligian 4

It is our Achilles heel as a people. We are strong on opinions and weak on collaboration. The politics in Armenia are a classic example. While our enemies threaten our very survival, we choose to […]

A Sad Irony: Never Again? We are failing.

April 26, 2023 Stepan Piligian 3

I feel like we are living through a recurring nightmare. This week, when Armenians across the globe remember the barbaric and unpunished atrocities with prayers for the intercession with our holy sainted martyrs and demand […]

The Peace Agenda: Pragmatic or Pretentious?

April 19, 2023 Stepan Piligian 2

Since 2018 and particularly after the 2020 war with Azerbaijan (and Turkey), the Pashinyan administration has advocated for what they refer to as the “peace agenda.” It is the belief of the Prime Minister that […]

Easter Memories: Faith and Family

April 12, 2023 Stepan Piligian 0

“Christos Haryav ee Merelots. Christ is risen from the dead.” “Orhnyal ee Harutyun Christosi; Blessed is the Resurrection of Christ.” This past Sunday and continuing into the season of Eastertide, thousands of believers in the […]

Concerned for your children’s Armenian identity? The homeland is calling.

April 5, 2023 Stepan Piligian 4

It was not a particular concern until after the Genocide. The idea of losing identity with one’s Armenian heritage was foreign until 1915. After all, most Armenians lived as an indigenous people on their ancestral […]

Gaining New Perspectives

March 29, 2023 Stepan Piligian 0

Last week, I offered commentary on the value of relationships in our human journey. It is particularly important in bridging the gaps between the Armenian Diaspora and the homeland. Mary Mirzakhanyan, our dear friend from […]

Our diaspora/homeland family affords us valuable perspectives

March 22, 2023 Stepan Piligian 0

Our time on this earth is all about relationships. We define them on a personal level with spouses, children and extended family. For many, they are reflected in a professional capacity, and hopefully we experience […]
