Western-financed Armenian "human rights activists" (and their anti-Armenian policy)

Never underestimate your adversary. I think they have been highly successful in demoralizing Armenians the last decade, and they almost succeeded in taking control in 2008. Armenians have been divided and dozens of Armenians have been killed as an indirect result of these political games. They just need one moment, and before you know it, it's over. I would even state that if we do not counter this phenomena now, the future (generation) of Armenia is a lost cause. Armenia will become a country which will be exploited by the imperialist West for their own interests, which will probably lead the beginning of the end of independent Armenia and we will soon become the same lost-bunch of people like the Assyrians (no country, divided in different groups, all fighting each other).

Thinking about it, Armenians have today also reached the state in which more than 90% of our energy goes into fighting each other and cleaning up each other's mess. Those few self-respecting Armenians I know (and some self-respecting Armenians who are in power in Armenia) are spending the most part of their time to convince other self-destructive Armenians not to destroy Armenia unintentionally.

the average armenian don't control armenian politics. A few selected oligarchs backed by Russia do. Even if the whole population think the West is their best friend, no one can do xxxx about it. Revolution my ass. Stop being so paranoid.

Western ambitions in Armenia is fairy tales for children as long as Russia has military base in gyumri. And that's not gonna change anytime soon. So let them bark all they want.

Whenever an American or European mentions that "these are independent people for sure", we know that it's the contrary... look at the video in the above link. Even in two minutes you see their biasedness. Disgusting people. Lying and deception is their weapon, "March 2008, peaceful demonstrations", of course, just ignore the grenades the demonstrators were throwing and the weapons they were using. I can't even continue watching, because of disgust, knowing that Armenians are willingly for money and other stupid means, want to destroy their country. Somehow, all these disgusting propaganda war and information is sponsored by the US, and the irony is, even though they are working against Armenian interests, Armenians naively believe in their "peaceful" intentions; it's because their propaganda and media campaign is successful.

When you have some time please access the link located at the bottom of this page. It is to a panel discussion sponsored by the "Carnegie Endowment For International Peace" proctored by John Evans, the former ambassador to Armenia. Of the four Armenian participants, Richard Giragosian, Emil Danielyan, Levon Parseghyan and Alexander Iskandaryan, the only normal individual present at the event was Alexander Iskandaryan. Besides Iskandaryan, who painfully tried to remain nuanced, they all took their turns enthusiastically spewing poison against Armenia.

Emil Danielyan who writes for the CIA operation known as Radio Liberty and ArmeniaNow, claimed at one point during his propaganda assault against Armenia - "...unfortunately, I am not an optimist... there is no such change on the horizon... and I think it would take some major upheaval, some kind of a revolution to put Armenia on a really democratic path..." Not to be seen outdone on his home turf by his colleague's words, one of Washington's main servants in Armenia, agent Richard Giragosian, went a step further. Replying to an Azeri audience member who was apparently under the hopeful impression that Armenia is politically descending into chaos and isolation (thanks to how the republic was portrayed by panel participants), agent Richard Giragosian said - "If it's chaos [in Armenia], then I like chaos, because it may threaten entrenched power".

Major upheaval! Revolution! Chaos! All this simply to set Armenia on the wonderful path to "democracy", as envisioned by Washington of course...

Like I have been saying, these self-destructive peasants are the Armenian version of Libya's self-destructive NTC. These filth (and we have a lot of them in the homeland and in the diaspora) would be the ones on CNN and BBC enthusiastically explaining and excusing the NATO bombing of Armenia if God forbid that day ever arrives. And believe me, that day would arrive the very next day after Armenia is deprived of its Russian military presence.

Western agent Giragosian's fear-mongering rhetoric and Western mercenaries Emil Danielyan's and Levon Barseghyan's utter pessimism were interesting to observe. These shameless servants of the Western alliance obviously felt confidant and empowered that they are speaking on behalf of the empire within the empire. They voluntarily arrived in the imperial court to publicly kiss the emperor ass. I'm sure they were wined and dined and their pockets lined, as a result as well. Only persons missing from the panel were Raffi Hovannisian and Paruyr Hayrikian.

Nevertheless, the only thing the panel group accomplished was to simply air Armenia's dirty laundry for Washington, the holy and anointed one that decides who is good and who is bad in this world. This is one of the manners with which the empire politically exploits against Armenia. These proud Armos participated in the information war against Armenia. Gatherings of self-destructive peasants such as this is how Western powers organize, inspire, fund and sometimes arm opposition groups similar to what they have done in Libya, Syria and Iran. Having said that, the only ones I blame here are the Armenian participants.

The entire premise under which these types of discussions take place is fundamentally flawed. I am all for civil society and human rights, but what's going on here goes well beyond promoting "democratic values" in Armenia. What we have on our hands here is a persistent and powerful information war against Armenia. The Western world, including the United States, took hundreds years to reach where it is today. [They are where they are today due to wars of plunder, genocide and human exploitation, but that's another story.] Under what authority does the political West criticize and attack nations that are not as developed? What right does the West have to impose its system upon others? What right does it have to rate/label/categorize nations?

Similar to what imperial powers did in the past with religion, the very notion of democracy and human rights today have been weaponized by Washington. This is causing the leadership in developing nations to go on the defense and in the process curb some societal freedoms that are being used by Western powers to undermine the developing state.

Think of it this way: A highly advanced extraterrestrial power descends to earth and forcefully imposes its "values" on us earthlings. Those who accept this highly developed force are enslaved by it, those who oppose it are marked for destruction.

I am being a bit dramatic to make a valid point: Washington has no right to tell nations such ash China, Russia, Iran and Armenia how to conduct themselves. For all intents and purposes, the aforementioned nations are fledgling nations that similar to Western nations will require generations to fully develop. Armenians need to learn to stop participating in their destructive games. Armenia needs political evolution, not a Western sponsored revolution.

Moreover, this should also finally put to rest the idea that John Evans is one of the "good guys" from Washington. What happened with John Evans several years ago was staged so that he could become the overseer of the empire's Armenian community. John Even is how Washington control its subjects. The panel discussion you are about to watch was titled "Lessons Learned From 20 Years of Independence and Statebuilding". I would like to add that the only real lesson that should have been learned during the past twenty years was to stay as far away from Washington as possible.

I think that would be a risky relationship for us. Firstly, we would have to decide at the right time when it is time to reject Russia as an ally and if we did it too late we could be sold to the Turks. Even if we got that timing right, we would be even more enclosed by enemies, as the West is not really in the neighbourhood. We can never trust the Turks. This should be the motto of our foreign policy. If we fall into Turkish traps that can be the end for your country. Turkey-Azerbaijan are united and are intent on having a turkic empire from sea to sea, we stand in the middle and we hinder their western supported economic projects.

We can maintain our strategic relationship with Russia, even if they expand their relationship with Turkey. Russia will never become a strategic ally with them, as they have been historical enemies and have other interests, but making Turkey economically dependent upon Russia, and if Armenians were united they could have significant influence within Russian politics, such that there would be a potential for us to control Turkey indirectly. If Turkic-Western relationships deteriorate, we can make the West to support us more (economically and military) and use the huge Armenian Diaspora in Russia so that Russia will also support us, by which we get best of two worlds actually.

In any scenario there are possibilities for us Armenians (Western-Turkic relations, Turkic-Russian relations, Turkic-Arabic, etc.), the only prerequisite for us is to be united and have a clear long-term goal, never be emotional and only think in terms of self-interest.

You can't compare the Ottoman Empire - Turkey to the Soviet Union - Russia. This is not about if an alliance is or is not flawless. The difference is that modern day Turkey is responsible for the Armenian genocide, as the genocide continued under their rule, and as a matter of fact, most of the people who were (and are) guilty of the genocide during Ottoman years also had ruling positions in "modern-day" Turkey. The Ottoman Empire served Turkic interests, and Turkey serves Turkic interests. The Soviet Union did not serve Russian interests (hell, tens of millions of Russians got executed, their own culture and traditions forgotten, etc.), modern day Russia finally does serve Russia's interests.

Well you make a valid point and many were led primarily by the Communist ideology rather than for Russian interests. That being said, us being part of the Soviet Union in my view was very crucial. As a soviet state we were able to refine and advance our culture, create a city that would serve as the capital for Armenian culture, government, and country. It was a relative era of peace that led us to refine and establish more the Armenian identity and lay the groundworks for a unified Armenian state. Though I still hate many of the Bolsheviks that sold us, especially the ones involved in giving our lands to Azerbaijan.

The power of our lobby is a big imagination, even local gay factions are more successful than our defective Diaspora in the West. I wouldn't say the West is more hostile to other allies of Russia, just every country has it's own unique way to be conquered (taking into account it's history, culture, traditions, mindset, and geopolitical factors).

Well, in US, Armenian lobby given Armenia's size does have a good amount of power. Of course Turks are strong as well, but the Armenian lobby has been able to make crucial influence. In Europe, our lobby is les prominent, though in France our lobby is naturally strong. The West is anti-Armenian, strategically, because their interests, especially energy, in the S. Caucasus aligns with the Turkish/Azeri interests.

It's never in Russia's interest to abandon Armenia, as it is their stronghold in the Caucasus. If Armenia ever comes under Turkic control, Russia will have difficulties controlling Southern-Russia. Anyways, even if you describe a utopia in which Turkey and Russia become strategic allies, this means that Armenia will be in the interest of the West, and thus we can become strategic allies with Western countries. The whole game will be turned around (and all the same arguments will apply).

Not to mention, relations with Georgia would take a whole new level. Of course, it's an unlikely scenario, but something to keep in mind as Turkey has been trying to drift away from the West and Russia warming ties with them.

The current reality is, Armenia is a nuisance for the West, yet an important ally for Russia (from the self-interest point of view), thus for the foreseeing future, our strategic alliance should lie with the Russian Federation.

We have no other choice than to be allies with Russia and at the same time have warm relations with Iran. Any other alignment will be against our interests.

Actually, I am a supporter of increasing Turkic-Russian relationships, as we have enormous potential to use this for our own benefit, but this will new topic as it's a long discussion.

I think that would be a risky relationship for us. Firstly, we would have to decide at the right time when it is time to reject Russia as an ally and if we did it too late we could be sold to the Turks. Even if we got that timing right, we would be even more enclosed by enemies, as the West is not really in the neighbourhood. We can never trust the Turks.
