This Grey Wolf’s prayer is an Armenian nightmare - a long-planned Pan-Turkic corridor at the cost of Armenian soil, security, prosperity, and sovereignty.

VIDEO: Devlet Bahceli, leader of Turkey’s violently racist, anti-Armenian, Kurdish, Greek and Christian MHP Party: "It's called the Zangezur Corridor, but let's call it what it really is: the Turan corridor."

Today, Armenia Marks the Day of State Symbols. 🇦🇲

The Yerakuyn, Armenia’s tricolor flag, was first raised by the First Republic in 1918, hidden through seven decades of Soviet rule, and raised again when independence was reclaimed in 1990.

Red represents the Armenian Highland and the people’s struggle for survival.

Blue stands for the will of the Armenian nation to live beneath peaceful skies.

Orange honors the creative talent and hard-working nature of the Armenian people.

A Nation That Reclaims Its Own
The story of Armenia’s state symbols is the story of Armenia itself: lost, preserved, and reclaimed. The flag that flew over the First Republic from 1918 to 1920 was hidden through 70 years of Soviet rule and raised again in 1990. The coat of arms designed by Tamanyan and Kojoyan was redrawn and restored. The anthem sung in Yerevan in 1918 is the anthem sung in Yerevan today.

Each is a piece of a sovereignty that did not survive by accident.

Karlen Stepanyan, a former Armenian prisoner of war who returned from Azerbaijani captivity in 2021, has died at the age of 52 after a battle with cancer, filmmaker and activist Hovhannes Ishkhanyan reported.

According to Ishkhanyan, Stepanyan endured years of hardship after returning home.

“After returning from captivity, his wife left him, and he fought cancer for some time on his mother’s meager pension until she passed away last year,” Ishkhanyan wrote.

Born in 1974, Stepanyan was among 10 Armenian servicemen captured by Azerbaijan on November 16, 2021. He was repatriated to Armenia on December 19 of the same year through mediation by the European Council.

His death marks the end of a difficult chapter that continued long after his release, as he struggled with illness and social hardship in the years that followed his return from captivity.

Great digging by @KanwarSierah here.

There are 28K refugees from Uganda being processed for permanent residency of Canada…

… BUT Uganda itself accepts refugees from Somalia.

I think we may be witnessing the Refugee Industrial Complex in its full splendour.

🚨 Canada Gazette exposes a DARK SECRET of Canadian Immigration👇

Canada is now bringing more Permanent Residents as Refugees compared to Economic Immigrants.

🇬🇧 UK was ruined like this and now it’s Canada’s turn. 🇨🇦

This data is from just three EBOLA hit countries. Imagine numbers from other countries.

4,000-Year-Old Mesopotamian Clay Tablet Donated to Armenia’s Matenadaran 🇦🇲
➖➖➖
A nearly 4,000-year-old Akkadian contract inscribed on a clay tablet has entered the collection of the Matenadaran, Armenia's national repository of ancient manuscripts, following a donation by Prince Dani Badawi, a representative of the Badawi royal dynasty. The Matenadaran announced the donation on June 11.

The tablet, dating to 1750-1712 BC, was produced during the Old Babylonian period, an era when Akkadian served as the administrative and commercial language of Mesopotamia. Contracts of this kind, recording agreements in cuneiform script pressed into wet clay, are among the oldest surviving legal documents in human history. The artifact dates to the years immediately following the reign of Hammurabi, the Babylonian king whose famous law code stands among the most influential legal documents of the ancient world.

Prince Badawi visited the institute accompanied by Narek Mkrtchyan, Armenia's Ambassador to the United States, and Grammy Award-winning singer Mohombi. During their visit, they toured the Matenadaran Museum and the Restoration Department.

Prince Dani Badawi serves as Special Envoy for Cultural Diplomacy at the Garibay Institute for Systems Diplomacy and traces his lineage to the Royal House of Badawi, which originates from the Tkhuma Assyrian tribe. The donation carries a layer of historical resonance, placing an artifact connected to the ancient Near East's shared civilizational heritage into the care of an Armenian institution, a gesture between two of the region's oldest peoples.

The Matenadaran, officially the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts, is the largest center in the world for the storage, study, and popularization of Armenian manuscripts, holding a collection of roughly 23,000 manuscripts and scrolls. Its collection is inscribed in UNESCO's Memory of the World register, and the institution has grown steadily since its establishment in 1959, largely through individual donations such as this one.

The gift adds to a long tradition of diaspora figures, foreign dignitaries, and private collectors entrusting rare manuscripts and artifacts to the Yerevan institute, reinforcing its role not only as the guardian of Armenian written culture but as a custodian of the broader heritage of the ancient world.
