Thank you for this episode – including the final question about a policy vision for Armenia. It would be fascinating to better understand the broad strokes Ambassador Aghajanian outlined.
Another logical and accurate summary of regional and global events by Ms Aghajanyan. Thanks for continuing to invite her to the podcast.
Կետցէք Սոիւնիք եւ տըղերք!որ չեք հոքնում պայքսրից !
The turks have been pumping money into Armenia through the “EU”
Maybe its me, listening intently as I cooked thoughout a marathon Saturday afternoon, through to the early evening. But certainly it was the many observations made by Dziunik Aghajanian. If there's a theme to this interview I suggest it is that loss of autonomy, risks ending the sovereignty of Armenia.
Once again Dziunik's wisdom is evident in her calmly stated, measured and well-informed observations. The entire interview was exceptional. The show notes (link in the above description field) are exceptional, best on YouTube of any channel I follow (I follow about 200). And I'm not just saying that because I'm a fan of the Groong channel. Bravo Dziunik, Hovik and Asbed.
The fact that Russian leader passively watched the government of Serzh Sargsyan to fall proves that he is devoid of any compassion for the Armenians and Armenia as a whole. Unfortunately today’s Russia sees dollar sign attached to everything including Armenia. They didn’t act with Armenians interest at heart when they let Serzh Sargsyan government to fall so their intentions are just as malicious as all the rest. Just watch how Islamic Republic of Iran protects and supports his allies and compare that to Russian support for Armenia. Case closed.
Russia should not have tolerated Pashinyan for 8 years. Both Russia’s and Armenia’s interests would have been secured if these collaborators hadn’t come to power in Yerevan in 2018.
So Russia is playing Europe’s game then, by devastating Armenia’s economy and thus making us or dependent on Europe and Azerbaijan?!!!
OK, we know izy is using the Armenian Gen0cide for political reasons. And chances are the izy Knesset will not recognize the Armenian G. I don't mind seeing turkey irritated a little.
Iran does NOT 'fear'. T p hasn't lived in Iran for decades & TP has always been an Anti-Regimist. He makes $ that way while trading on his birthplace's rights.
Unfortunately, Armenia politics is very depressing.
I don't mind listening to ambassador Aghajanian for 3 hours. Thanks for having her. It feels like long over due.
Super.Fantastic the finest.Guest & I.am deeply concerned for her 😢
