If the Armenian people did not make “Nemesis”, they would not have the right to live on earth. Hovik

May 3, 2026

Nemesis members did not kill innocent people. When the Young Turks still in 1918 had fled in December, the representatives of the new sultanate government admitted that a crime had been committed against Armenians. By the way, the last Sultan of Turkey, Vahideddin, was against the Armenian Genocide and sympathized with the Armenians. Military courts were opened, and the official Turkish court found the Young Turks guilty of the Armenian Genocide. It was the Turkish court that condemned Taleat, Enver, Cemal, others in absentia by suppressing the facts… That court was composed of Turks and Kurds, although it was formed at the instigation of the Entente states. 

About this “Classes” said on the show historian, candidate of historical sciences, associate professor of YSU “Armenian History” chair Hovik Grigoryan:

“According to the verdict of the Turkish court, minor characters were executed in Turkey, but the big ones escaped. The Turkish court could not do anything else. there were huge facts. By the way, the judges of that Turkish court were later convicted. One was the Kurdish Mustafa Pasha, who informed the Armenians about Enver’s movements. One of those judges is one of the maternal great-grandfathers of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Boris Johnson is Turkish on his mother’s side. That Johnson’s grandfather was executed in Turkey, and the family was taken to England,” said Hovik Grigoryan.

The historian also referred to the actions of “Nemesis” against the criminal leaders of Musavatika Azerbaijan.

“Why do Azerbaijanis announce that the statues of Nemesis and Garegin Nzhdeh should be dismantled in Yerevan?” “Nemesis” was set in motion because there was a punishment that had been meted out, but there were no enforcers of that punishment. By the way, one of the first operations of “Nemesis” was against Musavatka Azerbaijan, one of the first victims was Behbut Khan Jevanshir, one of the organizers of the massacre of Armenians in 1918. In September, 30,000 Armenians died in Baku.

Misak Torlakyan destroyed Behbut Khan Jevanshir, Minister of Internal Affairs of Musavatka Azerbaijan, in Istanbul, and he, like Soghomon Tehleryan, was released as a result of the trial. Later, other bosses were also destroyed. Armenian traitors were also destroyed, such as Harutyun Mkrtchyan, who compiled lists of Armenian intellectuals. Other traitors were also destroyed.

It was difficult to find the major players in the organization of the Armenian Genocide, those who were hiding, fleeing from place to place, acting under someone else’s name. People have been watching for months, discovered the routes, and just carried out the punishments. And that was the final stage of the Nemesis operation, the neutralization of Talaat, Enver, Cemal. It was a long process, many remain in the shadows, only the names of the shooters are known, but many devotees are not known. If the Armenian people didn’t do that, they wouldn’t deserve to live on earth»Hovik Grigoryan said.

Let’s remind that In 1918 in December S. Tehleryan arrives in K. Polis to find traitor Harutyun Mkrtchyan, according to whose “black list” Talaat ordered in 1915. on April 24 to exile K. The Armenian political and cultural elite of Istanbul. 1919 in February, he shoots the Armenian betrayer K. In Istanbul. Soghomon Tehleryan himself, referring to the murder of the Armenian betrayer Harutyun Mkrtchyan, writes that his execution was his own initiative. “On the long road, my only thought was that new monster, the treacherous Yarut. Wasn’t it necessary to start my mission of revenge, which had become the purpose of my existence a long time ago…”?

«Hrach Papazyan, a detective and hero, remained in the shadows, for example, who entered the circle of the Turks, got close to them and made the greatest contribution to the success of the cause, “Nemesis”. For the sake of solving the problems of his people, he lived in the Turkish environment for a long time, heard threats and insults against his people, but he acted as the son of a Turkish landowner, he even got circumcised for the sake of the job in order to gain confidence, and he got to the point where he became friends with one of the biggest criminals, Jemal Azmi’s son. He was a true humble hero, and what he did for the Armenian people became known only in the last decade of his life,” said candidate of historical sciences, YSU lecturer Hovik Grigoryan.

MAGA lawmaker astonishes with ‘unspeakably racist’ rant on live TV: ‘Eject thi

RAW STORY
May 2 2026

Critics were left dumbfounded Friday night after Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), known by some for his frequent Islamophobic and genocidal remarks, took aim at a new group during an appearance on a conservative political talk show.

“We don’t want Armenians to be able to serve in Congress,” Fine said during an appearance on “The Jenny Beth Show,” referencing his Republican primary opponent Dan Bilzerian, an American influencer whose father is Armenian.

Bilzerian filed to run against Fine in early April, and has sparked controversy of his own by making antisemitic remarks such as calling Judaism a “terrible religion” and engaging in Holocaust denial. Fine’s response, however, drew its own scrutiny from critics.

“Democrats need to eject this guy from Congress in November,” wrote John Jackson, a political commentator and self described “former GOP and past trial lawyer,” in a social media post on X to their nearly 60,000 followers.

“This is unspeakably racist behavior in clear violation of his oath to uphold the Constitution, including the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Why does nobody ever ask him good questions, also? Infuriating.”

Fine recently suggested that dogs were preferable to Muslims, a remark that left several conservative figures dumbstruck. He’s also uttered genocidal remarks as it relates to Israel’s ongoing siege on Gaza, writing in 2023 “may the streets of Gaza overflow with blood,” and, in response to a photo shared with him of what appears to be a Palestinian infant buried in rubble, he wrote “thanks for the pic!”

Fine’s recent remarks targeting Armenians, however, took even his fiercest critics by surprise.

“I know he’s a racist [but] why are Armenians catching strays?” wrote X user “Blakeley,” a popular political commentator with more than 76,000 followers.

Journalist Zaid Jilani expressed similar confusion as to Fine’s new target.

“Why is Randy Fine branching out in his racism, did an Armenian buffet kick him out because he violated the three hour time limit?” Jilani wrote in a social media post on X to his more than 151,000 followers.

Armenpress: Extreme poverty in Armenia to be eliminated soon, Pashinyan says i

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has issued a message on the occasion of International Workers’ Day.

Below is the full text of Pashinyan’s statement.

“Dear people, dear citizens of the Republic of Armenia,

Today we mark Labour Day, and I would first like to thank all those in Armenia who work, create results and pay the taxes and duties set by law, whether as business owners, employees or individual entrepreneurs.

In recent years, we have achieved significant success in the field of labour. Since the 2018 popular, non-violent Velvet Revolution, around 280,000 jobs have been created in the Republic of Armenia. After the revolution, Armenia has recorded high economic growth, with indicators exceeding both global averages and those of the Eurasian Economic Union. Compared to 2017, Armenia’s economy has grown by 53.9 percent, and state budget tax revenues have more than doubled. All this is first and foremost due to the citizens who work, create value and pay taxes and duties in Armenia. Today, we celebrate work and the working individual.

I consider it important to emphasise that since 2018, through various support programmes, the government has returned around 1.4 trillion drams to citizens and businesses, as appreciation for work and the working individual. These programmes have also had a significant social impact: extreme poverty in our country is effectively on the verge of elimination, and I am confident that its elimination will soon be officially recorded.

Any work deserves respect. But we must also note that work can deliver results if it is based on education, knowledge, the continuous development and refinement of professional skills, a persistent drive to learn more and to apply and monetise that knowledge. Modern realities also require reskilling, as rapidly developing artificial intelligence will significantly change the labour market. In these conditions, learning, education and development are the only way to secure employment and make work more effective and profitable. This does not in any way diminish the value of existing skills; rather, no one knows everything, and new knowledge, skills and abilities make individuals more competitive.

Through our joint efforts, Armenia has been transformed into a much better country for education, work, leisure and living. The Republic of Armenia is flourishing, and this is thanks to your work. We plan to continue this progress in the coming years, and the peace established between Armenia and Azerbaijan opens new opportunities for investment, business, economic activity and education.

Once again, I thank you all for your daily work and congratulate you on Labour Day. Long live labour, long live education. Glory to the martyrs, and long live the Republic of Armenia.”

Armenia’s Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan has commented on Russia’s decision to ban the sale of certain batches of mineral water produced by the “Jermuk Group” company, saying he does not see any political context in the move. He made the remarks during a press briefing with journalists on the sidelines of a parade dedicated to International Workers’ Day.

“We must ensure the quality standards of goods exported from our country. I personally believe that ‘Jermuk’ is of high quality and meets all standards, and I have no doubt that the issue will be resolved,” the minister said.

On 28 April, it became known that Russia had banned the sale of certain batches of Armenian “Jermuk” mineral water in both online and offline stores. The decision to suspend sales was based on a letter from Russia’s consumer watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, which cited the need to take urgent measures to prevent a possible threat to the life and health of Russian citizens. The stated reason for the suspension was a violation of mandatory requirements. The ban applies to water produced between 17 February 2026 and March 2026.
