With all the Middle East going in flame while Israel is enjoying the destruction and wishing it to extend into the Caucasus. Let us hope anytime soon Iran will give Hezbollah the green light to keep Israel busy sticking its nose where it belongs.

Let us hope it will start very soon to keep the back stabbers busy licking their own wounds.

Re: All things related to Hryastan

This election is about antiestablishment and for good reasons. We have seen the establishment fail the middle and lower classes in USA time and time again. This election is an offshoot of the occupy movement that was killed but the issues were never resolved. Honestly no one knows what a politician will do once elected. We have seen them say what it takes to get votes and then do the opposite once elected time and again. When it comes to consistency non of the candidates can compare to Sanders as he has been a champion for the sane issues in the same manner for many decades yet he also is a politician. Sanders has talked tough on Russia in his speeches so I am not very optimistic about his foreign policies. Trump has no record on foreign policy but he is willing to negotiate and that is a constructive position to take. Trumps position is far better then any of the other republican candidates who are wearing Ranold Reagan glasses which blind them of the growing inequality created by that presidents stupid policies. There is no telling what any of these politicians will do once elected but antiestablishment is definitely the right choice as it sends a powerful message that the people cannot be ignored.

Re: All things related to Hryastan

Personally, we shouldn't support any of the candidates.

Trump is the only candidate that does not have knee pads to serve Israel. The only candidate that has a reasonable foreign policy and a reasonable approach for working with the Russians. He did mention some twisted rhetoric in regards to Iran, I doubt it if it will last. He is a businessman, so he will shift some equations to benefit him. Overall he is not bad at all compare to the other migrants that are acting like a bible belt zionist flag wavers. Hillary and Bernie are .... just retards.

ARMENIAN AMERICANS SHOULD SUPPORT MARCO RUBIO

Sunshine State News, FL
Feb 29 2016

By Taniel Koushakjian
February 29, 2016 - 10:00am

As the race for the White House heats up, Armenian Americans across
the country are beginning to look more closely at who will best
represent their interests as president of the United States. For
many Armenian Americans, the 2016 election cycle concludes a chapter
in the worst administration on Armenian American issues in modern
presidential history.

With the broken promises of Barack Obama, whether to acknowledge
the Armenian Genocide as president or to increase U.S. assistance to
Armenia, the Armenian American community has learned that campaign
promises are no true indicator of support after the election. However,
one can and should look to a candidates record, votes, statements,
and over-all positions in order to arrive at an informed decision as
to whether or not that candidate deserves your support.

When looking through the Armenian American lens, the Republican Party
has the stronger track record and Marco Rubio is the top choice of all
the candidates running for president of the United States of America.

The Race as it Stands

As of this writing, Donald Trump currently leads the Republican
Party's nomination contest with 82 pledged delegates, followed by U.S.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and U.S. Sen Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who are tied
with 17, Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, with six, and retired neurosurgeon
Ben Carson with four. There are a total 2,340 delegates available
and 1,237 are needed to secure the Republican nomination.

The race for the Republican Party's nomination could very well be
determined in less than 30 days. Super Tuesday on March 1 will see
11 states hold primary votes. For Republicans, 595 delegates are up
for grabs, including Cruz's home state of Texas, about 48 percent of
the total delegates required to win the nomination.

Florida and Ohio will hold their "winner-take-all" primaries on
March 15, along with Illinois, Missouri, and North Carolina. In the
month of March, 1,398 delegates will be awarded, enough to secure
the nomination.

Heading into Super Tuesday, emphasis will be on the ability of each
candidate to sweep a large number of delegates and if Cruz, Rubio,
and Kasich win their home states. If it doesn't become a two-man race
by the end of March simple arithmetic suggests that Trump will likely
be the Republican nominee.

Rubio's Record

During his tenure in the United States Senate, Rubio has established
the strongest record in support of Christian and Armenian American
issues of all the candidates in the field, including but not limited
to genocide recognition, and not just in Armenia.

On Armenian American legislation, Rubio voted "yes" on the Armenian
Genocide recognition resolution, S.Res. 410, in the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee in 2014. The bill passed 12-5; the first time an
Armenian Genocide resolution has ever passed this committee.

In 2015, Rubio cosponsored S.Res. 140, the Armenian Genocide
resolution, which is currently pending in the Senate with 21
signatories.

"As your United States Senator, and as a member of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, I was proud to co-sponsor S.Res. 140 in support
of an Armenian-Turkish relationship following the 100th Anniversary of
the Armenian Genocide. We must continue to fight as an international
community with passion and dignity in defense of human rights,"
Rubio wrote in a letter to the Armenian American community to mark
the centennial anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. "Please know
that you have my full support for your cause."

Also in 2015, Rubio signed a letter to Azerbaijan President Ilham
Aliyev regarding the regime's violent crackdown on political and
human rights activists, imprisonment of journalists, and general turn
toward authoritarian rule. Rubio's position on the side of individual
liberties, freedom of the press, and democracy is an important element
to consider.

Those watching the Republican presidential debates have noticed
that, unlike other candidates on either stage, Rubio has repeatedly
and unequivocally called out the Islamic State's barbaric violence
against Christians, Yezidis, and other religious minorities in the
Middle East as genocide. He also does not hesitate to discuss his
Christian heritage and faith, whether it's his views on life or
where his children go to school. As such, he joined U.S. Sen. Mark
Kirk, R-Ill., a champion of Armenian American issues, as an original
cosponsor of S.Res. 340, a bill that would label as genocide ISIS
attacks on Armenians, Assyrians, Yezidis, and other ethnicities of
religious antiquity in the Middle East.

In addition to his unparalleled record, Marco Rubio has the backing
of key political figures. Former Republican presidential nominee
former U.S. Sen.Robert Dole, R-Kan., who led the charge on the Senate
floor for Armenian Genocide recognition in 1991, endorsed Rubio. "I'm
supporting Rubio," Dole told ABC News earlier this month. "He wants
to grow the party."

Vice Chairman of the Congressional Armenian Caucus U.S. Rep. Gus
Bilirakis, R-Fla., also endorsed Rubio in recent days.

"Having served with Marco in the Florida Legislature and in Congress,
I know him to be a leader that inspires hope and instills in all of
us a love of country that we felt under another inspirational leader
- Ronald Reagan," Biliarkis said. "Marco Rubio's life story is proof
positive that American exceptionalism is real, but we need to fight to
preserve it and expand it to more people. His story teaches us that
the son of immigrant parents, who came to this country for freedom
and opportunity, can achieve anything, including holding the highest
office in the land, where I know Marco will work every day to give
back to the country that changed his family's history."

Cruz's Calling

In 2015, Cruz also cosponsored S.Res.140, the Armenian Genocide
resolution. Although Cruz is currently a member of the SFRC, he was not
on the committee in 2014, and therefore has never had an opportunity
to vote on the Armenian Genocide resolution.

Sen, Cruz also issued a powerful statement to the Armenian American
community to commemorate the centennial anniversary. "100 years ago,
the world was too silent as the Armenian people suffered a horrific
genocide," Cruz wrote in his letter. "Today, we commemorate more than
a million souls who were extinguished by the Ottoman Government. Let
the terrors of those events awaken in us the courage to always
stand for freedom against evil forces. As Pope Francis rightly said,
'Concealing or denying evil is like allowing a wound to keep bleeding
without bandaging it.' The massacre of the Armenian, Assyrian and
other Christian people should be called what it is: genocide."

Kasich's Case

Kasich has a mixed record on Armenian American issues over his
career in Congress (1983-2000). Like Cruz, he has never faced a vote
on the Armenian Genocide resolution. However, Kasich's most recent
record shows him as an original cosponsor of H.Res. 155, the genocide
recognition bill of 1999. As governor, Kasich issued a proclamation
in 2012 congratulating Armenia on its 21st anniversary of independence.

Carson and Trump

As a retired neurosurgeon, Ben Carson has no record in support or
opposition to Armenian American issues.

Although Donald Trump has never held elective office, he has a record
of questionable business practices, one of which should seriously
concern Armenian Americans. According to a Eurasia.net report last
year:

"Trump lent his name and management know-how to an upcoming,
sail-shaped skyscraper in Baku that is owned by billionaire Anar
Mammadov, Mother Jones magazine reported on July 29. Mammadov is a
son of the country's powerful transportation minister, Ziya Mammadov,
a man whose family has been long accused of battening on privileged
access to government contracts for infrastructure development.

"The deal and Mammadov's role as a champion of Azerbaijani interests
in the US -- he heads the Azerbaijan America Alliance -- exemplify the
two parallel worlds of US-Azerbaijani relations. Baku now bitterly
rebukes Washington's criticism of its dismal human rights records,
even as its insiders actively lobby and sweet-talk US politicians.

"And, apparently, investors like Trump."

Trump's pro-Azerbaijan leaning is reinforced by the support of Gov.

Chris Christie, R-NJ. In 2012, Christie issued a proclamation on the
so-called "Khojaly massacre" which ridiculously accuses Armenians
of committing ethnic cleaning against Azerbaijanis during the
1991-94 Nagorno Karabakh War. The growing Muslim Azerbaijan lobby
in Washington, led by the Azerbaijan American Alliance, with who's
founder Trump has a business relationship, has shopped around such
anti-Armenian proclamations and resolutions in order to cover up
and divert attention from Azerbaijan's Sumgait, Kirovabad, and Baku
pogroms against Christian Armenians in 1988-90.

Christie came to Trump's rescue in an endorsement on Friday after Rubio
used the same attack wielded from the New Jersey governor against Rubio
on Trump. "I watched you repeat yourself five times four weeks ago,"
Trump exclaimed at the Republican presidential debate on Thursday
night in Houston, TX. "I watched you repeat yourself five times
five seconds ago," Rubio rebuffed after Trump failed to articulate
a health-care plan.

The Right Choice

Armenian Americans focusing on November must remain mindful of the
historical record of the individual, statements made, and tough votes
cast in order to make an informed decision about the person and the
party accordingly. While there are and have always been genuine,
ardent, and steadfast Democratic supporters of Armenian American
interests, the historical record reveals that Republican leadership
has been more successful. When viewed through the Armenian American
lens, it would be foolish for Armenian Americans to continue to
reward a party and a president that has been unable to deliver when
it mattered most.

There are plenty of issues on the Armenian American agenda. U.S.

reaffirmation of the Armenian Genocide, defending the rights of
Nagorno Karabakh citizens to live freely, and Christian persecution
in the Middle East are the most compelling for Armenian Americans in
2016. How legislators act when in power and vote when it counts is
what reveals true leadership.

Like other minority groups in America, Armenians are not a monolithic
voting block, nor should we be. But we must wake up the political
consciousness of our constituency and make the right choice in this
election-and that choice is Marco Rubio.

Re: All things related to Hryastan

I don't recall Armenian groups endorsing any candidate. Not the AAA or ANCA. Perhaps the endorsement came from a Republican Armenian group. If anything, despite his vitriol, I would think Trump is the best candidate for Armenians:

Trump Being Advised by Former Top US Intelligence Official. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is receiving foreign policy advice from a former US military intelligence chief who wants the United States to work more closely with Russia to resolve global security issues, according to a report this week from Reuters.

Former foreign policy officials told the news agency that retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, who was chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency under President Barack Obama from 2012 to 2014, has been informally advising Trump on world affairs. Flynn was spotted last year at a "gala celebration" for Russian media outlet RT, sitting at the same table as Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Re: All things related to Hryastan

I have to admit this time around they do not sound too professionals.

That is true, Brother Azad. We can also observe a similar lack of professionalism on a large part of the Azerbaijani commandos which regularly attempt to penetrate into Armenian territory along the front lines in northeastern Armenia and eastern and southern Artsakh. In either case, the enemy will be satisfied with any Armenian casualties that the enemy may be able to cause. The purpose of the coordinated attacks at this point is still primarily psychological, designed to frustrate, demoralize, and demonize Armenia and weaken it until such time that the enemy thinks it can carry out an operation on a larger scale. An additional objective of these anti-Armenian propaganda articles that the western-Jewish media has been pumping out, a particularly vile objective at that, is to weaken the Armenian Diaspora's attachment to Armenia and Artsakh, and drive a wedge between the two by falsely presenting Armenia as merely an alleged "tool" in the hands of alleged "Russian imperialism" directed against the "indispensable ally of Israel and the west" Turkey. They are painting a picture of Armenia as an undemocratic hellhole and regional troublemaker, basically a member of the new Axis of Evil along with Russia, Iran, Syria (specifically the Assad government in Syria), China, and a few other states that pose a danger to NATO's allies the Turks and other "moderate" terrorists. When the time comes for the next election cycle in Armenia, you can bet your bottom dollar that the western-funded opposition in Armenia and the diaspora will cite these very same articles as they try to agitate and foment protests against the government in Yerevan. This is nothing new, the Turks have been pushing this agenda for years:

Keep Armenia isolated, George Friedman (Jewish) - November, 2010

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/armenian-diaspora-focus-on-russia-rather-than-turkey.aspx?pageID=449&nID=59677&NewsCatID=412

The solution in both cases remains the same: there is only one way to deal with an enemy attacking with intent to destroy you. No excuses, no "protected class" status, no immunity for any scum who attack Armenia!

Of course we Armenian patriots are all too familiar with Jewish-led blitzes in the western media targeting Armenia:
