Armat

Finished watching.Very impressive work but pretty sad ending. I believe this film won 1st place in Russia in film festival

Just want to say they are thousands of Latino and Black gangs in LA....and most people know it does not mean they are all gangsters. I hate these A-holes,lazy SOB who think honest living is for "harifneri hamar" I'll say good riddance!! These criminals don't represent Armenia or Armenians but represent themselves as criminals! I am proud of my "ian" ending! f--k those who vent out their hatred of Armenians because of these criminals.

Great concise speech.Whoever wrote it great job!It said what needed to be said.

So another Armenian who served the Turks!!F--k the Turks and god damm Ottoman f--ging whatever.Am I suppose to feel proud because some Armenians converted to Islam so they can serve the Turks better? Serve=servant no matter how you look at it! I rather die then be a tool.

Very cool.Looking forward thanks

If I lived in Armenia I would of gone just to see Մեր երկիրը.Unfortunately here I am trapped by time+work+family+money issues.

հմտություն?

Boycotting the event was shortsighted. RA Religious orgs should of endorsed and went there despite of cross controversy because we should care about us Armenians and celebrating the Aktamar church!not what Turks did or didn't do. Unfortunately it became too political and ruin the incentive.

sorry I can't pass "Acemoğlu" Makes me want to vomit.

In so doing, it has triumphed over giants like Russia, China and the US. Chess is pursued fanatically in many parts of the world, but nowhere more so than Armenia, where its over-the-board stars have become national celebrities. But how has little Armenia created a nation of chess geniuses; is there something in the water? Assignment investigates. listen the report-fascinating!

Did anyone catch this? "he plans to discuss the issue with his Russian counterpart Anatoly Serdyukov." WTF Are we a free nation? or Russian satellite.Why should we discuss this matter with the Russians!!Its our f--king domestic issue!

sorry annoying music disrupted my viewing.Kind of out of place music....I am sure some Armenian music would of provided nice context

If you live in LA they are many people that can teach you including my nephew who is established musician but outside LA it is challenging.Duduk is hard to learn by yourself unlike other instruments like guitar. Talk to clarinet players usually lot of them play duduk too.

Must be one of the most delusional statements I came across.We can spin this up in "pro-Armenian" view but fact is Turkey building bases in N will become direct threat to Armenia and Artsakh. Azeris already have troops training with Turkish officers in N. What is astonishing to me how this "expert" thinks otherwise.

The trailer looks amazing.The animation and ignorance of the Turks etc.Even though I don't speak French I still appreciate the effort. Arpa has touched upon a subject that few dare venture into.I agree his manner was harsh but his massage is clear.Clean up the Turkish from our names specially when they mean degrading things.I can't imagine a Jew keeping his German family name with insulting references in it. If I had Turkish in my name I would change it even if it meant positive thing.I don't want to me reminded Turks daily.

By William Walker Rockwell You can read it on the link.

In an interview with Hurriyet reporter Vercihan Ziflioglu, dated August 3, the popular Armenian singer-songwriter is alleged to have said, “What we call unique Armenian culture has been created by Istanbul-based western Armenians and Anatolian Armenians. Armenia does not have its own culture. It has been affected by other cultures.” Quote is typical Turkish distortion. In Armenian version posted by Harut he compares east and west Armenian cultures and says most if not all Armenian culture derives from western Armenia where our big ancient cities were. In translation East is dropped and sounds very bad.

Harut jan Thanks for the Armenian interview post. I was wrong and too hasty to judge him.

I agree Americans are suckers.We should get the f--k out

Its obvious Russia plays on both sides both Azerbaijan and Armenia and arming both however look who has been on losing end of the stick.

Raffi raises some excellent points.It looks like Sargisian has reduced Armenia to satellite mini Russian state insead of independent country.Haven't we learned anything from co-dependency? Didn't great powers ditch us? in 1915-1922?Bolsheviks selling Armenia to Turkey hence losing Kars? Seriously Sargisian should get the f-k out.

By Raffi Hovannisian Yerevan-The second anniversary of blitzkrieg between Russia and Georgia underscores the unresolved geopolitical undercurrents in this region among the seas. Landlocked by the forces of history from the Caspian, the Black and the Mediterranean, Armenia's pivotal position remains encircled by a neighborhood in strategic turmoil. The inherent jeopardy flowing from Turkey's now obviously disingenuous engagement of Armenia, the challenges posed by Azerbaijan's graduation from its threatening language of war to its launch of a deadly attack in June, and the general escalation of tension across the Caucasus have combined to define the greater region as one at immediate risk of deepening instability. Against this backdrop of system-wide insecurity, Armenia is now facing a dangerous alignment of outside interests and internal shortcomings. While Yerevan's "strategic" relationship with Moscow continues to serve as the bedrock for regional peace and security, the nature of the Armenian-Russian embrace is unduly lopsided. The asymmetry of the Russian-Armenian relationship is most manifest in the fundamental lack of equal and mutually respectful cooperation. After all, Armenia's hosting of the only Russian military base in the area is no simple act of kindness, and must be anchored in a shared regard for each other's interests. What is more, the Russian base is the only such facility outside of the Russian Federation where the host country receives neither rent nor reimbursement. Armenia pays for the totality of its costs and expenses. Such a mortgaging of Armenian national security is unacceptable and demands immediate redress. In the new era, Armenian-Russian partnership, in order to be strategic without quotation marks, must be sincere, really reciprocal and based on horizontal respect, despite the differences in size and experience between the two nations. A case in point is the information recently leaked by the Russian media and reactively confirmed by official Yerevan that the two states, either bilaterally or under the auspices of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), intend to extend up to 49 years the treaty arrangement for the Russian base and the deployment of forces there. Matters of dignity aside, this flies in the face of Armenian sovereignty, foreign policy independence, and vital national interests. It also flouts the unlimited future potential of an actually strategic partnership between us. This holds especially true in view of the fact that the existing base agreement does not expire until 2020 and can, if necessary, be extended upon expiration for five or even ten years. Of further consternation is the Kremlin's military rapport with and sales to Ankara, which stands in occupation of the historic Armenian patrimony, has imposed a modern-day blockade of the Republic of Armenia tantamount to an act of war, and continues to deny and shirk responsibility for the Genocide and Great Armenian Dispossession of 1915. A more contemporary source of outrage is Moscow's military support for Azerbaijan, which having launched a failed war of aggression against Mountainous Karabagh and Armenia is today threatening renewed hostilities, completing its occupation of the Armenian heartlands of Shahumian, Getashen, Artsvashen, and Nakhichevan, and continuing with impunity to destroy and desecrate the Armenian cultural heritage at Jugha and elsewhere. In this connection, in the event that Russia indeed carries through with the reported sale of its S-300 weapon systems or other equivalent armaments to the aggressive, belligerent, and revisionist regime of Azerbaijan, Armenia should withdraw forthwith from the CSTO, of which it is the sole member from the region, or at the very least require full fair-market rent for the Russian base together with reimbursement for water, electricity and other relevant expenses. And finally, the ultimate achievement of Partnership between Russia and Armenia, and between Russia and the West, will necessarily entail an actual application of the Rule of Law-not only domestic but also international-and hence the recognition of the Republic of Mountainous Karabagh within its constitutional frontiers, as well as of Kosovo and Abkhazia. Anything else is partisan politics, petty political gain and sui generis dissimulation, all of which might make sense for some and for the moment but at bottom run counter to the aims of peace, security, justice and democratic values for the critical landmass amid the seas.
