I am not calling it fucking Türkiye bro I speak English not Turkish.
I know for a fact they don’t call it “United States of America” in Constantinople. I mean what are we doing here
you watch Jeopardy! these days and it’s just a bunch of people shamelessly daily double hunting. James Holzhauer wannabes. it’s not so different from the three point revolution in the NBA — no ethical hoopers anymore
Finally! Vicken Euljeckjian, released from Azerbaijani captivity, met with his wife Linda. Congratulations, @LindaVicken!
God grant that all our hostages will also return to their families!

I'm always fascinated by how saying something like this in the US media could be construed as an antisemitic trope and get you accused of being a conspiracy theorist, whereas over in the Israeli press it's just seen as a simple, obvious, banal fact.
Just your usual reminder that the Armenian Highlands is a geographic term for the elevated plateau between Anatolia & the Iranian plateau. The fact that it was also the location of Armenian ethnogenesis does not sit well with the modern neighbors.
The Nairi were a confederation of tribes in the Armenian Highlands around Lake Van and the upper Tigris/Euphrates, mentioned in Assyrian records from the 13th-9th centuries BCE. Likely Hurrian or Proto-Armenian, they resisted Assyrian and Hittite expansions.
They were gradually subdued by Assyria, with their lands forming the basis for the Kingdom of Urartu by the 9th century BCE, which later influenced Armenian ethnogenesis.

The Ottomans conducting Mengele-like experiments on Armenians during World War I is something straight-up out of a nightmare and something we (inexplicably) do not talk not talk about enough
My mom noted that in Western Armenian, «հետաքրքիր»ը անցի համար է, «հետաքրքրական» պէտք է ըսէ: So I asked Grok and got another answer. Again not perfect but it did get հետաքրքրական right!
I explained to my toddler what an echo is (sound is a wave) and was curious how to explain the properties of light in a way he could understand. ChatGPT had a surprisingly good answer. Not perfect but I wasn’t expecting «զայն» from it either
@shat_merci@HovhanNaz Curious what the list looked like in 1979. Off the top of my head cuties with more than that would be Yerevan, Gyumri, Vanadzor, Stepanakert, Beirut, Aleppo, Los Angeles, Moscow, Tehran, Esfahan. That’s already 10
A Դուխով hat displayed in the back dash of a car in 2025 is crazy. No surprise it’s driven by a prominent member of the Hunchakian party. Trying very hard to stay relevant.
Ծուռ նստինք շիտակ խօսինք։ Had the Armenian Apostolic Church been as effective in leading its flock, there would be no Armenian Catholics, Protestants, Mormons, or other cults like Nikolism infiltrating our nation today.
