We are known throughout the world as the first people to adopt Christianity as a state religion.
As a people whose roots and bonds are the biblical Mount Ararat.
As a people with the most talented and vibrant, multi-million-strong diaspora.
As a people who suffered the most brutal Genocide.
And as a people who triumphed in the Artsakh liberation struggle against an enemy superior in numbers and weapons.
And Nikol is destroying all these components of our identity under the guise of peace.
Two worlds – two concepts.
Nikol's humiliating, accommodating, and defeatist world, which will end as soon as there is nothing left to give.
And a dignified world without him, guaranteed by a strong army and strong alliances.
This cowardly act of hatred against an Armenian priest on our sacred ground in Jerusalem is a stain on humanity and a direct attack on one of the world's oldest Christian communities. It fills me with fury and profound sadness.
The Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem is a testament to our people's enduring presence, faith, and resilience for centuries. To see our clergy disrespected and assaulted in such a manner is an insult to every Armenian.
Yet, where is the forceful, principled condemnation from Yerevan? Where is the robust diplomatic pressure to protect our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land? This government is so busy with its "peace agenda" and geopolitical re-alignments that it forgets its fundamental duty: to protect Armenian people, Armenian dignity, and Armenian heritage wherever they are in the world.
This is not just an isolated incident by extremists; it is a symptom of a world that perceives weakness. When our own government constantly signals retreat and compromise on core national issues, it emboldens those who wish to harm Armenians everywhere, from Jerusalem to Artsakh.
Our Diaspora and the Patriarchate in Jerusalem show daily courage. They need and deserve a homeland government that matches their strength and defends their rights without hesitation, not one shrouded in shameful silence or ineffective diplomacy. We must be a nation that commands respect, not one that invites contempt.
Jewish extremist spitting on an Armenian priest in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem.
This is the daily reality of Christian Armenians in the Holy Land.
Honor their sacrifice by demanding accountability. This government's failures make their memorials a painful reminder of betrayed duty. We will remember, and we will ask the hard questions today and every day.
On the 34th anniversary of the establishment of the Armenian Army, His Holiness Karekin II, together with members of the clergy, held a memorial service at the Yerablur Military Pantheon in remembrance of Armenian sons who sacrificed their lives for the homeland.
Addressing those present, His Holiness called for respect for the solemn meaning of the day.
“We have come here to bow in humility before the memory of our children and to pray to God for a peaceful, safe, and prosperous life for our homeland. Please allow this day to be lived in accordance with its solemn meaning and do not disrupt its spirit with unnecessary questions. You will have the opportunity to raise those questions on other occasions. May God bless you,” he said.

While I deeply respect the activism and dedication of our Diaspora, especially in France, and appreciate Senator Larcher's solidarity, this moment is bittersweet for me.
True courage is not just about words of support abroad, but about actions that preserve our homeland. As our Diaspora honors foreign allies for their commitment to justice, I ask where is that same unwavering commitment from our own government in Yerevan? They speak of "new foreign policy directions" while compromising our national security and historical justice.
Our brave Diaspora works tirelessly to keep the Armenian Cause alive on the world stage. Yet, the current administration's policies seem to undermine those very efforts, making concessions that weaken our international position. We need medals of courage for leaders who will defend Artsakh, protect our borders, and uphold our sovereignty without apology not for those who manage our defeat.
Let this medal remind us of the strength and consistency we desperately need, but tragically lack, in our own capital.
Poll: What right does Pashinyan have to interfere in Church affairs?
"I must be the first to defend my religion, my country, my people," says a Gyumri resident, expressing outrage at the government's policy toward spiritual values.
📍A monument to Artsakh Hero Robert Abajyan was unveiled today at Yerevan School No. 147.
The monument bears his famous words, spoken before his death:
"There has always been struggle on this land, and now I will draw a ring and want everyone to know that whoever surrenders this combat post, **** his mum..."
Another treacherous step by this capitulant government! While they decorate bridges and boast about "services," they are selling our homeland piece by piece. Opening borders with Turkey without any preconditions, without recognition of the Genocide, and while that state actively supports Azerbaijan against us, is a national betrayal. This is not "dialogue"; it's a shameful surrender of our dignity and security for illusory economic crumbs. They are turning Armenia into a corridor for our enemies. Shame on this regime and its television, which tries to present this disgrace as an achievement! True patriots will never accept this dangerous folly.

🇦🇲🇹🇷The Margara border checkpoint is fully ready to provide all services.
"The Armenian side has done everything possible, and the Margara Bridge is already fully ready for the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border. There are all the conditions for the full provision of both customs and border services. It is now being calculated what significance the opening of the border may have for our country and the region," the Armenian Public Television report says.

A protest during Pashinyan's visit to Talin.
Art critic Sargis Petrosyan, with the melody "Noldu, Pashinyan" playing, arrived at the church in Talin, where Pashinyan will today participate in the false liturgy of the defrocked Aramayis Tahmazyan.
Sargis Petrosyan stated that Pashinyan, because of whose policies the Armenian people feel humiliated, has no right to decide who is the Catholicos of Armenia.
According to Petrosyan, many city public sector employees received text messages this morning demanding they come to the church and feign support for Pashinyan.
This isn’t a “transfer,” it’s the tragic cleanup after betrayal. People who stayed because they were sick, elderly, or had nowhere to go were left at the mercy of a hostile regime, while our government watched and did nothing. One Armenian gets 16 years on fake charges, and officials still talk in dry bureaucratic language. Shameful moral bankruptcy.
BREAKING: 10 Armenians who had remained in Artsakh, along with one citizen of Armenia of Russian nationality, have now been transferred to Armenia.
According to Armenia’s Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Arsen Torosyan, the remaining Armenians formally appealed to the relevant authorities of Azerbaijan and Armenia to be transferred, after which they were relocated to the Republic of Armenia.
Following the 10-month blockade of Artsakh that began in December 2022 and the subsequent ethnic cleansing carried out by Azerbaijan, these Armenians had remained behind for various reasons, including age, illness, isolation, and an unwillingness to leave their homes. Remaining in Artsakh carried serious risks.
Just three weeks ago, an Azerbaijani “court” sentenced Karen Avanesyan, an Armenian who had remained in Stepanakert after the forced displacement, to 16 years in prison on fabricated charges. His case demonstrated the reality faced by Armenians who stayed behind: arbitrary detention, criminalization, and the use of the judicial system as a tool of intimidation. According to multiple sources, Avanesyan had mental health issues.
@gagrulenet Disgrace on a global stage. Congratulating Aliyev after the ethnic cleansing of Artsakh is not diplomacy, it’s betrayal. No mandate, no morality, no spine — this government has crossed every red line an Armenian leader never should. Bastard Nikol

In front of the world at the Davos Economic Forum in Switzerland, Armenia’s Evil president congratulated Azerbaijan’s dictator Aliyev for his crimes against the Armenian people of Artsakh. As a result of those crimes, 125,000 Armenians were forced to flee their ancestral, thousand-year-old homeland. Congratulating that is not diplomacy — it is moral collapse.
@NasimiAghayev@Anewz_tv Propaganda film won’t erase reality. You can restore stones abroad while erasing Armenian churches at home. Armenians know too well that “interfaith harmony” is just a PR slogan used to whitewash destruction and lies.

Interfaith harmony is a way of life in Azerbaijan🇦🇿. Christian heritage is not just respected - it’s actively preserved. 🇦🇿 also supports restoration work in Vatican, reinforcing its commitment to religious coexistence. A new film by @Anewz_tv tells this powerful story.
Times are changing, but the Turks are not.
A blockade is a tool for coercing obedience.
The Turks have cut off water, gas, and electricity to residents of the Kurdish community of Koban in Syria, imposing a blockade.
