Make Istanbul Konstantinopel again.

Even though I find it funny and unnecessary, he has won my respect. Not gonna lie.

A relative of mine recently visited Van - Akhtamar Surp Khach Church. Inside, this poem is written in Krapar: "My Pontifical Residence (Veharan) and my school, anew and from the foundations, I have erected for my much-longing nation. Under the Autocrat of the Ottoman Empire, The victorious and sublime monarch, Abdul Hamid the Second. Although the care of my love had long urged me, The preoccupation with my dense affairs did not permit it; For it was something great and sacred to my soul, To spread a moral light alongside these structures. Striving with the study-loving children of the Armenians, To wipe away the sorrow of my mourning people. Lord Khachatur, Catholicos of Rshtunik, A servant of Jesus, in need of your prayers." "Վեհարանս եւ դպրոցըսՆորՀիմնովին Ես կանգնեցնեմ բազմակարօտ իմ ազգին: Իկայսրութեան ինքնակալին Օսմանեան Համիտ երկրորդ վեհ արքային յաղթական. Թէպէտեւ հոգ սիրոյս վաղուց ստիպէր, Բայց զբաղմունք իմ հոծ գործոց ոչ ներէր, Քանզի մեծ ինչ նուիրական էր հոգւոյս Ընդ շինութեանցս զբարոյական սփռել լոյս: Ուսումնատենչ մանկամբք Հայոց ջանալով Զիմ սգակիր ժողովրդեանս ջնջել վիշտ: Տէր Խաչատուր Կաթուղիկոս Ռշտունցի Ձեր աղօթից կարօտ ծառայ Յիսուսի:"

12.06.1993, rest in peace Commander Monte Melkonian. "And right now I am in Mardagerd, heading a unit from our region. It is coming here to help in re-liberating this region. As you know, the Azeris took it over in June and July 1992. They burned most of the villages and everything. We had a hard time getting back into these mountains, but we have done it, and we have caused a lot of damage to our enemy, and I think that our enemy has started to understand that this region isn't a part of Azerbaijan, that they can't crush the Armenian people militarily, and that they've got to look for other solutions." Give me some background on the conflict. "Well, historically, Artsakh — that's the historical name of Gharabagh, the Armenian name. So this region of Artsakh has always been one of the integral regions of the Armenian homeland throughout our history. Thousands of years of history, and for thousands of years this region has been Armenian. In 1920, when both Azerbaijan and Armenia became Soviet republics, they wanted to draw new borders for very tactical and political reasons. Stalin put a lot of pressure on the authorities of the Transcaucasian republics to have both Artsakh and Nakhchivan included in Azerbaijan rather than in Armenia, despite the fact that the Azerbaijani leader at the time initially — on December 2nd, 1920 — declared that both of these regions were to be included in Armenia rather than in Azerbaijan. Despite that, Stalin put pressure on him to have these two regions arbitrarily cut off from Armenia and included in the Republic of Azerbaijan, mostly to get in good with Atatürk, whom Stalin at the time believed was an anti-imperialist force and a force that would eventually become an ally of the Soviet Union. So due to these tactical reasons, they decided to arbitrarily draw borders that do not at all represent the true borders, the historical borders, or the demography of the region. And so this region got cut off from Armenia, despite the fact that at that time 97% of the population was Armenian. 97%."

Turkey is a North Korean-style party-state. Erdogan’s ruling party has now composed a song for the Turkish national team. Although it is supposed to be a football anthem, the music video is filled with military imagery. Third world dictatorship.

Μολὼν λαβέ 🤷🏻‍♂️

That is a good analysis: ‘The fact that turnout stayed at 60% in an election where changes of “historic” magnitude were being voted on, Armenia pivoting its orientation from Russia to the EU, amending its constitution and possibly its Declaration of Independence in order to pursue peaceful relations with Turkey, is perhaps yet another sign that we are in an era likely to persist for quite some time: one in which parliamentary regimes are losing their appeal, while “revolutionary” alternatives fail to materialize.’ However, I would like to add that the Armenian nation has almost always achieved its gains through revolutionary means, more concretely, through revolutionary violence, if necessary. Today is a different era; you cannot simply fight as if it were the 1980s. Yet that does not, and should not, mean that the Armenian nation must surrender to the corrupted zeitgeist. A new era demands new revolutionary solutions.

Blessed Sunday Don't skip Church

A piece of mother Hayasdan

Monte Melkonian, 1992. Sleeping on a chair during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War "The Sultan heard, and the coward's blood froze, He had never dreamed of seeing the Armenian in such a state. Mother Armenia rejoiced, she rose and stood tall, The mourning and suffering of ancient centuries eased a little."

‘We are preparing a support package.’ If this woman is offering you something, your country is about to experience some very bad things. By the way, this is the mask Armenian protesters were wearing during the 2023 Brussels protest against the Azerbaijani invasion of Artsakh.

Dig anywhere in Anatolia, you find Armenia. A footage from Tigranakert/Diyarbakir shows an ancient hidden church, now being used as the tomb of a Muslim. It is very hard to read the Armenian inscription at the entrance, although you can make out ‘Krikor’ in the last line.

Surp Asdvadzadzin Church in Constantinople sings Der Voghormia, and the world becomes a beautiful place… Հիսուս փրկիչ մեզ, Տեր ողորմեա…

This man supported Azerbaijan during the Artsakh war and ethnic cleansing. He even wanted to revisit Azerbaijan. What is he doing in Armenia now? Instead of declaring him persona non grata, Armenia welcomes him. Unbelievable.

The Armenian people are reacting negatively to the ongoing ‘normalization process’ with Turkey: “What peace? The Turk has come and is kneeling on our necks. What peace? I know the Turk from the days of my grandfathers. The Turk won't eat the walnut in his hand... will he eat the walnut in his hand?He is a barbarian, he is a plunderer. Read history! He doesn't understand; right now he is deceiving Pashinyan. Pashinyan doesn't even realize that having completely sold off these lands, his neck will be the first one cut tomorrow. No person, no country, in no century has ever spared a traitor. As soon as they get what they want out of a traitor, they cut his neck.”

Turkey exists on stolen lands as an ethno-state. Indigenous peoples have no rights there, and barely 50 thousand Armenians remain, along with probably a few million hidden Armenians (in the 21st century, people still have to hide their identities!!!!)

Շնորհաւոր Հոգեգալուստ. Happy Pentecost, everyone. Today the Armenian Apostolic Church celebrates one of the five principal feasts of the Lord.

Of course, there is a reason why the Turkish dictator now enjoys good relations with the Western world. Without American and European support, he would not be able to do this.
