The Prime Minister of Georgia and the former President of Georgia have both publicly congratulated Nikol Pashinyan on his election victory, despite the fact that official results have not yet been published and ballots are still being counted across Armenia.

The congratulatory messages come while the vote-counting process remains underway and before the Central Electoral Commission has announced final results.

Funny how Western wannabe 'Caucasus experts' can't grasp that a vulgar, intolerant loudmouth—picking fights with the church, the diaspora, and random disaffected citizens—doesn't need any 'Kremlin propaganda' to be despised. Sometimes the contempt is entirely homegrown.

BREAKING: Armenian-American Andre Tutundjian Helps Lead Liftoff To $3.83 Billion Nasdaq IPO 🇦🇲🇺🇸
➖➖➖
Armenian-American executive Andre Tutundjian helped steer Liftoff Mobile to a $3.83 billion valuation on Thursday, June 4, as the company he serves as Chief Operating Officer made its debut on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The stock climbed more than 20 percent on its first day of trading, a rare bright spot in a year when technology offerings have struggled to find footing, reports Zartonk Media.

Liftoff priced its initial public offering at $23 per share, above its revised range, raising roughly $437 million and selling 19 million shares under the ticker LFTO. For Tutundjian, a son of the Armenian community in Los Angeles, the moment placed him among the small number of Armenian-Americans ever to stand at the helm of a company ringing the opening bell on a major US exchange.

His path to that podium runs straight through a company he built himself. He co-founded AlgoLift in 2016, an ML-based marketing optimization platform, and led it as chief executive until Vungle acquired it in 2020, the mobile advertising network that would merge with Liftoff a year later. Tutundjian rose through senior analytics and operations roles before taking the operational reins of the combined company. Earlier in his career he had held analytics leadership positions at the mobile gaming studios Scopely and Cie Games.

Tutundjian's Armenian roots trace to Southern California. He is an alumnus of the Ari Guiragos Minassian Armenian School, the only Armenian day school in Orange County, and he currently serves as a youth basketball coach for Homenetmen Massis in Los Angeles. These are the kind of formative diaspora institutions that raise a generation before they go on to build careers of their own. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in economics from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Master of Arts in economics from Boston University.

Liftoff itself dates back to 2012 and came together with Vungle in 2021, after the investment giant Blackstone acquired Vungle and combined the two portfolio companies, with General Atlantic later joining as a minority investor. The union paired Liftoff's user-acquisition engine with Vungle's app-monetization network, and the two now form the backbone of Cortex, the company's AI-powered platform. Cortex relies on machine learning to identify which users are most likely to stay engaged and spend money inside an app, then directs advertising toward them, the kind of practical, profit-generating artificial intelligence that has become central to the mobile economy. The platform reaches roughly 1.4 billion daily active users worldwide and serves hundreds of advertising customers, competing in a crowded field alongside names such as AppLovin and Unity.

Tutundjian and his wife, Ani, both come from families well ingrained in the Armenian community in Southern California. For the Armenian nation, an executive helping lead a company to a multi-billion-dollar Nasdaq debut is a milestone worth marking.

73 families displaced from Artsakh applied for help rebuilding their livelihoods.

We’ve raised $25,000 so far.

Here’s what we’re doing 🧵

[Alex Galitsky @algalitsky]

Azerbaijan cut ties with the EU Parliament over criticism of its detention of Armenian hostages, destruction of Armenian heritage & violation of the rights of Artsakh's Armenians.

Azerbaijan doesn't want peace with Armenia – it wants to subdue Armenia.

@SecKennedy what a f*ckin clown

[DR JANE RUBY™️ @RealDrJaneRuby]

How many times do you need to see Kennedy and Trump flip on fake MAHA promises before you understand they are both frauds and killers?

In major reversal, Trump caves on banning cancer-causing artificial colors in food & significantly loosens FDA labeling requirements.

Wondering if @DCPoliceDept will press charges on these thugs for beating up U.S. citizens before they are able to flee the country.

[santiki.eth @ASantiki]

This is nuts. Every f*ckin day there is something new.

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

Trump has just become the Glyphosate President. He's now all-in for glyphosate production.

Because America, he thinks, needs more cancer-causing poisonous weedkiller chemicals spread all over the crops.

[Tom Renz @RenzTom]

You know I appreciate you, @MJTruthUltra, but this is irrelevant. This order stops people who get cancer from getting money to pay for their treatments from the people who caused it.

Further, the problem stems from the fact that our farmers are basically forced to buy GMO seeds that tolerate glyphosate. The entire ag industry has been pushed to become dependent on a known carcinogen.

Instead of letting capitalism push big ag and big pharma to find a better solution, this allows them to continue profiting off people getting cancer. It’s an awful move with no excuse for it.

Cruel and unjust Azeri verdict against political leader and global philanthropist Ruben Vardanyan. This is political persecution through and through.

[Ian Calderon @IanCalderon]

The Armenian American community has been part of California’s story for generations — contributing, building, and strengthening our state.

Any attempt to target, stereotype, or intimidate people because of their heritage has no place in our politics or our state.

I’ve stood with the Armenian American community for well over a decade, and as governor I will always stand for their safety and their right to live free from discrimination - no exceptions.

The 49ers won’t win a Super Bowl under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan until they change their offensive line philosophy.

Watching the game tonight HAS TO FORCE THEM into changing how they go about building the OL.

The talent gap between the Seahawks interior DL and the 49ers OL was massive.

The 49ers gave up a pressure rate of 47.4 percent and a blitz rate of 10.5 percent. Brock Purdy was running for his life, traveling 413 yards on 33 drop backs.

In the biggest games, against the best defenses, the 49ers OL always lets San Francisco down.

That Seahawks timeout was way fucking late

[charchaf @charchaf2]

Shame on the @WesternDiocese

[Matt Maiocco @MaioccoNBCS]

This makes ZERO sense.

Both the Rams and Bears played on Saturday. That should be the Saturday game.

It's asinine the NFL would schedule the 49ers on a short week when they could have avoided a short week for all of the NFC teams.
