Some Self-Dissassembly Required


When you’re at the end of your rope, hanging them on the streets no longer trending

When your identity shallow, impermanent, changing, tilted, twisted in the livid wind

When you posture strong faith and lust for glory, expansion, enslaving the infidel freely

When you are manufactured history no angel ever witnessed during your hellish spree

How may you treat hardworking, non-militarist side shows grazing in your path unconvinced?

Fun fresh tightly wound villages, monuments thousands of years in nourishing unbroken spirit

Thousands of years of permanence, belonging songs, stories, dances, seasons, cuisine, chagrins

Thousands of brooks, birds, trees, mountains, lost loves, wooden instruments haunting valleys

How strange their sheep, herders, woolen hats, staffs, mustaches, foreheads that weep for thee.

Killing has not worked all that well. Feeding them to the communists not complete.

The Middle East did not wipe their trace. North America did not erase their zeal, screed

How to eliminate these pesty natives when you have your own hate to spread and smear

Con the West and Uncle Sam, the Russian Bear, bed down with Israel, help crush Iran complete

Have a go, expand, let pan-Turanic gibberish guide your grabbing, looting, fanatic fantasiatic

And in the meantime, let Armenians talk each other out of what they are, have, have had fleeced

The new Armenian with no Genocide to redress from 111 years ago or from five or two

No Gharabagh, no ethnic cleansing, no Ararad, no Western occupied lands, denial complete

Cafés open for business, drowning memories, principles, ethics, weight and resolve to hell

New clothes, fatter lips, fake body parts, everyone a Kardashian, straining a smile with tears

And a Prime Minister conductor keeping trains to concentration camps on time, all charted

No church, no faith, no hold on the spirit, Clergy leaders jailed, looted identity sacrificed.

The new Armenian cares for nothing but conspicuous consumption, dissolution, handouts, deals

Digging out old graves with each petty transaction, little lemmings, big hair, heels, collagen lips

Learn Azeri, forget Russian, dream American, keep warm burning celluloid sparklers unpreened

Armenians? Who’s that? Parasites come invade our patria, para, fake sites, nothing but bela.

Verelq: The authorities have developed a new plan against the AAP

“Hraparak” newspaper writes:


Nikol Pashinyan, it’s true, he seems to have taken a time-out in the campaign against the Church until the end of the elections, however, according to our information, they are steadily advancing the plan to destroy the Church.


We learned from a government source that the next step will be AAP hitting financial bases. And they will do it not in the territory of Armenia, but abroad. They want to start legal proceedings against about 600 real estates, various objects, productions of church items, charitable funds and accounts belonging to AAP dioceses scattered around the world.


For that purpose, they decided to use their loyal people living in the diaspora. Now it is the stage of gathering information: with the support of law enforcement officers of different countries, they are collecting evidence regarding the “illegality” of the origin of these properties and companies, they will try to initiate criminal proceedings and bring political lawsuits to courts through Armenians who are citizens of different countries.


Therefore, first abroad of the Armenian Apostolic Church they will paralyze the work of the dioceses and take a lot of resources in connection with advocacy and other services. High pay and other privileges are promised to those who will participate in the implementation of this Pashinyan program.


Our source tells us that the work of this intelligence phase is coordinated by the Foreign Intelligence Service of Armenia in cooperation with the relevant services of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Deputy heads of services Arman Boshyan, Mutalu Tokai and Zaur Ismailov are involved in the project.

The silence is intolerable. The memory of the Genocide cannot be doubted

In these post-truth times, there are questions, topics and ideas about which it is impossible to remain silent, to tell half-truths, or to discuss something.


Everything about them is more than black and white.


Among such issues is honoring the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide and the struggle for the restoration of justice, which is not only morally important, but also highly pragmatic for our state and people today. To put it mildly, those who remain silent on this topic, and even more so those who question it, have nothing to do with Armenia and the Armenian people.


Therefore, we should remember and act in this direction every day, but especially on April 23, we can do it with a symbolic action by joining the “Torch March”, which, by the way, our “peace-loving neighbors” can’t stand.


Mourning is eternal, as long as there is no struggle.

The “bee swarm” paralyzes Hormuz’s defense systems

The current government of Iran does not issue any threat that it will not carry out.


In response to the attack of the American warship on the Iranian cargo ship “Tuska”, today the naval forces of Iran’s IRGC carried out the promised retaliatory attack on three cargo ships that attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without Iranian permission, two of which were detained and directed to Iranian ports.


According to the Iranian side, one of them had a connection with Israel.


A satellite photo of the movement of Iranian missile-carrying motorboats in the Strait of Hormuz has appeared on the Internet, from which one can get a rough idea of ​​how the IRGC’s naval forces use the asymmetric “bee swarm” tactic, when several dozen small motorboats armed with missiles and anti-aircraft missiles can attack a large enemy warship at the same time, paralyzing its more technologically advanced and expensive defense systems.

Armenia is preparing for a significant expansion of the international aviation network

Photo: banks.am

Armenia is preparing for a significant expansion of the international route network. One of the main events is the launch of Yerevan-London-Yerevan direct air traffic, as well as the opening of new flights to Kazakhstan and European countries, which promises a new increase in passenger traffic.


Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure during the Government session held on April 23 Davit Khudatyan presented the strategic development plans of the civil aviation sector. The previous year has already recorded impressive dynamics. 47-48 airlines made flights from Armenia to about 70 destinations.


Due to this, the passenger flow of “Zvartnots” International Airport exceeded five million, and the route network was supplemented with ten new destinations.


This trend will gain momentum this year. Long-term negotiations with Kazakh partners have been successful. At once, several air carriers announced direct flights to Kazakhstan, tickets for which are already on sale. In parallel, the European vector is being activated. new airlines are expected to enter and increase the frequency of flights to Brussels and the Netherlands. However, the main news of the sector is the start of Yerevan-London-Yerevan direct air traffic.


Along with the increase in the workload of the capital’s airport, the authorities plan to use the possibilities of Gyumri’s “Shirak” airport to a greater extent. The modernization of infrastructures, in particular, the operation of new sections of the “North-South” road, greatly contributes to this.


According to the minister’s assessment, thanks to the improvement of logistics, getting from Yerevan to Gyumri airport in some hours is faster than the trip to “Zvartnots”. This creates additional grounds and prospects for negotiating with new airlines and decentralizing the country’s air traffic.
