Azat Arshakyan mentioned that he has prepared a creative text that he wants to perform tomorrow. When asked if you welcome Ghazaryan’s idea, our interlocutor said that yes, this is a very good initiative, we should always fight for independence and sovereignty. We also wondered if there were disagreements between the Supreme Council deputies on some issues, Arshakyan mentioned that the politicians gathered there have absolutely different political views, so there are also disagreements, but all the “charm” and “shine” of the Supreme Council is precisely this. is in, said Azat Arshakyan.
Dear compatriots, dear friends,
These days, many people ask me how I relate to the process initiated by Edgar Ghazaryan.
I have said many times that I will support all the healthy national forces that will start a struggle against the so-called authorities who brought our Motherland to this disastrous state.
Therefore, confirming that idea once again, I should mention that I support Edgar Ghazaryan’s initiative and I call on my party members and supporters to support him and participate in the invited rally tomorrow at 17:00. #Armenia

Do you remember there was a “literate” in the Republic of Artsakh, named Vahram Atanesyan? It is true that he has not been in Artsakh for a long time and they don’t remember him well in Artsakh either, but he has not been idle in Armenia either: he either protects Nikol, or provides services to the Syrians, and once in a while he pampers Ter-Petrosyan. So, the main achievement of that Vahram’s life was to block me from being able to enter his page and see what mujahideen he is doing in the Facebook domain. The mind of the Karabakh Armenian, again. It’s the 21st century out there, Vahram, who’s doing secret espionage now? Everything is open, everyone sees, hears and knows each other. They know who breathes what, from whom they get money, whose clothes they are washing. And you thought that you could write something about “Hraparak” and you wouldn’t know it in Yerevan? When will you understand basic things?
See, don’t be too late, because one fine day you may wake up and see that you are already a citizen of Azerbaijan with a passport, money in your pocket, a mosque, a mullah thing… It’s good that the old man was not cut off from your sleep.
I don’t write these lines to thicken your personal colors, Vahram. I care very little about you. What worries me is the criminal indifference of the people of Artsakh to “journalistic” mujahedin. What are they doing that they are not interested in you? Based on your knowledge of the Azerbaijani press, you should have been in the center of attention of the relevant bodies long ago. But you have already become so insolent that you bring down the instructions of the central government of Baku on the authorities of the Republic of Armenia, or go and arrest “Hraparak” because “Hraparak” dared to take and publish information from the telegram channel that provides services to Ilham. But the mind of your “analyst” has also started to work badly, you didn’t even understand that “Hraparak” only warned the Armenian people that bad things are expected at the upcoming tripartite meeting, and that situation was created by your beloved Nikol.
Boy, the entire press of your Baku learned from “Hraparak” that a meeting will take place in Moscow at the end of August in the Putin-Nikol-Ilham format. And the fact that Aliyev is going to ask a question in the corridor and abruptly is not so much a matter of information as it is a matter of logical analysis, because Nikol has played all the games on our heads and remains the sable of the mountain. that is, giving the corridor, after which all of us, including you, can become citizens of the joint Turkish-Azerbaijani state. “Hraparak” wrote one more thing, according to Aliyev, “Zangezur Corridor”, and according to Nikol, “the road connecting Azerbaijan to Nakhichevan”. Maybe you didn’t like this difference, Vahram, that you are fighting for the primacy of Baku’s central media?
At the end, you allegedly asked a question. “Isn’t there a state institution in this country that deals with the issues of information security and journalistic mujahideen?” I would ask you to take the trouble and clarify which country do you mean by “this country”? Armenia? But what do you have to do with Armenia, you don’t even have anything to do with Artsakh. Didn’t Nikol declare that there is no Armenia beyond Tegh village? Say one more word to Nikol, ask, who are you giving this country to, you “Hinger”, who are you, how many heads do you have to decide how the Turk should go and come through this country? You have fallen behind “Hraparak” and you are accusing the National Security Agency-CPC against free press. Why don’t you remember the state and the National Security Service in other cases, I think you lost a relative a week ago during the “Surmalu” explosion? You have been burned by “Hraparak” for a long time. but behave yourself a little. I don’t think that the central authorities of Baku put a knife to your neck and forced you to do mujahideen on your page.

We learned that Edgar Ghazaryan, the leader of the “Independence” movement, met with the former presidents of the Republic, Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, a few days ago. The meetings were held in the offices of the former presidents. According to Ghazaryan, he met not as former presidents, but as deputies of the Supreme Council.
“In this sense, the former presidents are no different from the other members of the Central Committee,” says Edgar Ghazaryan. He notes that he offered a meeting to Levon Ter-Petrosyan, the first president of RA, about three times, but was rejected all three times for various reasons. “The first time Ter-Petrosyan’s refusal was related to health problems, I don’t remember the rest, maybe the first president just doesn’t want to meet with me,” says Edgar Ghazaryan. By the way, perhaps a more eloquent proof of Ter-Petrosyan’s attitude is the markedly negative attitude and mocking articles of the “Chorrord Ishkanutyu” website towards Edgar Ghazaryan.
“As for the second and third presidents, the motivation for the meeting between me and them, I repeat again, is the fact that they are deputies of the Central Committee, and not because they are former presidents. I discussed with them only questions related to the session of the Supreme Council, its advice and essence. We did not discuss issues related to movement. “There are no reservations in meetings with Central Committee deputies, Hovik Aghazaryan also participated in our meetings, and I am very happy for that, for one simple reason, he was also a Central Committee deputy,” he says.
To the question of what they discussed with the former presidents and whether they will participate in the symbolic session of the Central Committee on August 23, Edgar Ghazaryan said. “Everyone can join the protest, in this sense they are also a part of the citizens of the Republic of Armenia, but I think they will also join the meeting with the Central Committee deputies, it would be right to check with their offices,” he said.
When asked whether former presidents welcome your idea, our interlocutor emphasized. “I think yes, during this period no member of the Central Committee expressed a negative attitude, maybe there were some negative comments, but by and large they were also positive.”

Lawyer Raffi Aslanyan writes on his Facebook page.
“Just now, the motorcade accompanying RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was moving along Isakov Avenue, the intersection near the US Embassy. Again, with gross violations of the requirements of the government’s decisions defining the traffic rules and the procedure for escorting special purpose vehicles. There is no lesson for them, the life of an Armenian has no value. Many will fall victim to the criminal self-confidence of this junta, while a significant part of society is still under delusion.”
Arsen Torosyan, a representative of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s close circle, former health minister, Pashinyan’s chief of staff, and currently a member of the CP faction,
Arsen Torosyan presented the new ideology of the “Civil Contract” party and the current government – pacifism. In the last year and a half, the government of Armenia relates to Azerbaijan and Turkey with the narratives of that ideology. Pacifism is translated into Armenian as pacifism, striving for peace at any cost, refusing to use force, and self-defense, because violence and murder have no justification. Only the pacifism of Arsen Torosyan and the “Civil Pact” is not ideological, but selective. In the past, they were strong patriots and belligerents, threatening war and encouraging the winner, now they are unreserved pacifists.
“Peace doesn’t really have a price, it’s priceless, like life,” wrote Arsen Torosyan, meaning that for the sake of peace, one must agree to any demands of the enemy, and fulfill any preconditions dictated by him. The enemy wants to hand over Artsakh, wants Syunik, please, wants Armenia, no problem. after all, peace has no price.
Arsen Torosyan, of course, is lying when he says that peace has no price, for him and the “Civil Agreement” the homeland has no price, and the price of peace is the government. Torosyan and the entire Pashinyan government have now become pacifists because for them the price of peace is keeping power. Torosyan understands that one more war and another defeat, he will lose the pleasure of being in power, he will lose the privilege of living at the expense of ordinary citizens’ taxes, managing public funds, and enjoying the benefits provided by the government.
Why didn’t Torosyan preach peace before the war and the disaster brought to Armenia and the Armenian people by the government he represented? He did not preach peace, because there was no need to play pacifist until the defeat. When Pashinyan was photographed against the backdrop of the 1930s of the Russian Armed Forces, the then Minister of Health Arsen Torosyan did not write about the pricelessness of life, he did not talk about the pricelessness of peace, when Pashinyan enthusiastically encouraged the Armenian soldiers and officers participating in the Tavush battles, he did not write about peace in the days of war. when Pashinyan was making military appeals and calling hundreds of thousands of people to go to the front. Why should he talk about peace at that time, if he hoped that he would keep his power on the blood and deaths of those people, that those thousands were killed and tens of thousands were wounded,
Pashinyan, Torosyan, other CP members have now become pacifists, because Aliyev threatens them with a new war, and they do not want war. They want power and are ready to fulfill any of Aliyev’s demands for the sake of that power. Azerbaijan wanted it, they gave the Goris-Kapan road, they handed over a part of the territory of Armenia without firing a shot, because for them peace has no price. Azerbaijan demands to withdraw the troops from Artsakh and leave the citizens of Artsakh defenseless, again no problem, they will do it in the shortest possible time and will present appropriate guarantees.
When Torosyan talks about the pricelessness of peace and preaches pacifism, his preaching is also aimed at the domestic audience. Torosyan sees a threat to his and CP’s power not only from Aliyev. He calls on the society to put up with the threat coming from Pashinyan. Your life is priceless, don’t risk it in the fight against Pashinyan’s dictatorship. says Torosyan. Mher Yeghiazaryan, Manvel Grigoryan, Armen Grigoryan and many other people opposed Pashinyan’s rule and were killed. According to Torosyan’s logic, they never understood that life is priceless, because if they had understood, they would not have risked their lives in the fight against the overthrow of the dictatorship.
Arsen Torosyan takes the victory of Armenia and the Armenian people in the beginning of the 90’s in quotation marks, mocking and condescending to that victory. What kind of victory was that? The victory was theirs, they were able to stay in power by sacrificing more than 4 thousand victims, handing over the country to the enemy, and destroying the state. The CP’s victory seemed really impossible, because with a few hundred people they defeated two to two and a half million people, an entire people, an entire country. And now, by the right of the winner, they manage both the territory of that country and the fate of people and people.

The government made Turkey’s population registers public for the first time, identifying ethnic Armenians and other minorities, and excited Turks immediately crashed the system.
Fehim Tastekin @fehimtastekin
February 19, 2018
During the days when Turkey still hoped to join the European Union, its people were becoming willing to question their ethnic and religious ancestry. Since then, the country has reverted to a time when people were disgraced and denigrated, with the government’s blessings, as “crypto-Armenians.”
Hrant Dink was the editor of the Armenian-language newspaper Agos in 2004 when he wrote that Sabiha Gokcen, the first female military pilot of the Turkish Republic, was of Armenian parentage. Because of this and other articles he penned, Dink found himself the subject of an investigation by the Justice Ministry. He was assassinated in 2007 for reasons thought to be related to his strong support for Armenian causes.
Dink’s story illustrates why population registers in Turkey were kept secret until recently. The topic has always been a sensitive issue for the state. The confidentiality of data that identifies people’s lineage was considered a national security issue.
There were two main reasons for all this secrecy: to conceal that scores of Armenians, Syriacs, Greeks and Jews had converted to Islam, and to avoid any debate about “Turkishness.” Its definition, “anyone who is attached to the Turkish state as a citizen,” was enshrined in the constitution as part of the philosophy of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founding father of the Turkish Republic and its first president.
For a long time, the official policy was that Turks formed a cohesive ethnic identity in Turkey. But less than two weeks ago, on Feb. 8, population registers were officially opened to the public via an online genealogy database. The system crashed quickly under the demand. Some people who had always boasted of their “pure” Turkish ancestry were shocked to learn they actually had other ethnic and religious roots.
On the darker side, comments such as “Crypto-Armenians, Greek and Jews in the country will now be exposed” and “Traitors will finally learn their lineage” became commonplace on social media.
Genealogy has always been a popular topic of conversation in Turkish society, but also a tool of social and political division. Families often acknowledged in private that their lineage was Armenian or that a long-dead relative was a convert to Islam, but those conversations were kept secret. Being a convert in Turkey carried a stigma that could not be erased.
Ethnic Armenian columnist Hayko Bagdat told Al-Monitor, “During the 1915 genocide, along with mass conversions, there were also thousands of children in exile. Those who could reach foreign missionaries were spirited abroad. Some were grabbed by roaming gangs during their escape and made into sex slaves and laborers. The society is not yet ready to deal with this reality. Imagine that a man who had served as the director of religious affairs of this country [Lutfi Dogan] was the brother of someone who was the Armenian patriarch [Sinozk Kalustyan].”
He went on, “Kalustyan, who returned to Turkey from Beirut in 1961, was remembered as a saint in the Turkish Armenian Patriarchate and as someone who had served in the most difficult times after 1915. During the genocide, his mother sent the children away and converted to Islam. Later she married [a man called] Dogan, who was of high social standing, and had two girls and a boy. The boy was Lutfi Dogan. When the mother, who was then with the Nationalist Action Party branch in Malatya province, died, his uncle came in priest garb from Beirut to attend the funeral. Nobody could say anything.”
The mindset of society was starkly clear when President Recep Tayyip Erdogan once complained, “We are accused of being Jews, Armenians or Greeks.”
There were those who feared that data obtained from population registers could be used to stigmatize the famous and used for political lynching campaigns. After the database went down, they spoke out against its restoration. One of them was Tayfun Atay, a columnist for Turkey’s daily Cumhuriyet.
“I was advised in a friendly manner not to admit that I am a Georgian. That was the lightest form of pressure. What about those who risk learning they are of Armenian ancestry or a convert? Just think: You think you are a red-blooded Turk but turn out to be a pure-blood Armenian. Imagine the societal repercussions,” he wrote Feb. 12.
As the debate raged, the system suddenly came back online Feb. 14.
Many Turks are questioning the timing of making this information available.
“If they had done this a few years ago when we were [becoming more tolerant], conspiracy theories would not have been as strong as today, when the state behaves as though we are in a struggle for existence. This is how Turkey reinvigorates the spirit of the Independence War” to inspire patriotism and pro-government thinking, journalist Serdar Korucu told Al-Monitor.
Those who oppose the system fear that a society already in a morass of racism will sink into it even further. Others, however, say that though reality might be shocking, couldn’t it be useful in eradicating racism?
“Yes, definitely. Everyone in Turkey is curious about their ancestry. That is a fact,” Korucu responded. “Why is facing reality so hard?” He said of the Sabiha Gokcen story, “That turned the country upside down.”
Korucu believes data confidentiality is essential to prevent population registers from being misused as instruments of political defamation, but warned, “The state organs already know everything about us.”
In 2013, Agos reported that the government was secretly coding minorities in population registers: Greeks were 1, Armenians were 2 and Jews were 3. The covert classification of religious minorities was met with wide outrage.
“What’s worse is these facts emerge when it is time for a young man for report to military conscription. In short, there are those who know us better than we do. So why not tell us about it?” Korucu asked.
“Population registers are dangerous. That is why Hrant Dink was murdered,” the columnist Bagdat noted. “The director of the Genocide Museum in Yerevan told a delegation from Turkey [about] the three most-discussed issues by those who were able to escape. Armenians first tell us about the Muslims who helped them escape the genocide, then the Armenians who betrayed them and only then do they narrate their catastrophe. If we make public the names of Armenians who were forced to convert to Islam, their grandchildren will be in danger today.”
He added, “This is how the situation is after 100 years: The Turkish state asked us to accept being Turks. Fine, let me say I am a Turk. Will I be given a public job? No. When I say, ‘No, I am an Armenian,’ I am treated as a terrorist. Nothing has changed. Opening of the population registers means nothing to me. How can we forget Yusuf Halacoglu, the director of the Historical Society of Turkey in 2007, who had bluntly threatened, ‘Don’t make me angry. I have a list of converts I can reveal down to their streets and homes.’ These words, by this man who later became a politician in the Nationalist Action Party, were a threat to Turkish politics.”
Is the information in the now publicly accessible registers complete?
Another ethnic Armenian, journalist Yervant Ozuzun, has doubts. ”We don’t know if anything changed. We know ethnic origins were marked with different codes in the register. We as Armenians were code No. 2. Has this changed? I don’t think so.”Government officials aren’t saying one way or the other.
The construction of the first autonomous drone aerial vehicle by the Greek Aviation Industry continues at a feverish pace between the collaboration of three universities, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the University of Thessaly, and the Democritus University of Thrace.
According to News Auto, the progress of the work is consistent with the agreed schedule. The minor delays observed in some of the tasks have been covered and the drone is expected to be completed in the Fall.
Recently, the Minister of Finance Christos Staikouras also mentioned the drone: “The Second quarter of the work of the “Archytas” program has been completed, which aims at the design and industrial production of the first multi-purpose autonomous aerial vehicle (drone) , with the cooperation of the Hellenic Aviation Industry (HLA) and three Greek Universities.
“Our commitment, that the Greek citizens who finance the “Archytas” program through the Ministry of Finance, will be informed about the progress of the work, with real data, quarterly and also at other key points of the development of the project, is absolutely valid. Greece is taking the right steps.”
According to News Auto, the main advantage of the Greek drone is its autonomy. Classic drones can fly for 20 to 30 minutes, while what Greece is preparing will be able to fly for about 2 hours!
Also, the ODA and the universities are preparing a special version of the Greek drone to be used in emergency situations, such as fires, floods, and other natural disasters.
The drone will be able to fly for 10 hours continuously and transmit from the air the management of a critical situation in order to save human lives.
