๐Ÿ—ฃThe Criminal Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevanโ€”clearly acting under overt pressure from the authoritiesโ€”has ruled to detain the national benefactor, Mr. Samvel Karapetyan.

This act of persecution against Mr. Karapetyan is yet another manifestation of the Prime Ministerโ€™s ongoing campaign against the Armenian Church, aimed at stripping it of the support of its faithful through fear and intimidation.

I am disgusted by this disgraceful conduct as it represents a blow not only to the dignity of the Armenian Church but also to the reputation and moral standing of the Republic of Armenia.

๐Ÿšจ Putin wants Ukraine to accept reality, not fight โ€˜to the last Ukrainianโ€™: Scott Ritter

๐Ÿ—ฃNeutrality, giving up NATO ambitions, demilitarization and denazification are all part of the โ€œreality that Ukraine will have to accede toโ€ if it wants peace with Russia, the former US Marine Corps intelligence officer said, commenting on Putinโ€™s remarks at SPIEF about Russia not seeking Ukraineโ€™s โ€œcapitulation.โ€

๐Ÿ—ฃRegarding Putinโ€™s comments about a Russian advance into Sumy, Ritter emphasized that this would not have been an issue, had Ukraine not used the border province โ€œas a launching pad for a NATO-backed incursion into Kursk.โ€

Now, he says, thanks to the Kursk attack, โ€œit is almost 100% certain that Ukraine will lose control of this region.โ€

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒ โ€˜Whatโ€™s happening in Armenia is a clear attempt to weaken our national identityโ€™

Ashot Grigorian, Chairman of the Forum of Armenian Alliances of Europe and Chairman of the Armenian diaspora in Slovakia, condemns the government's actions as an attack on the very foundation of Armenian statehood.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œWhatโ€™s happening in Armenia is a clear attempt to align with our enemies, Turkiye and Azerbaijan, and weaken our national identity.โ€


He also criticizes Armenia's current pursuit of EU membership, highlighting the disconnect between the European Union's expectations and Armenia's realities

As for the Armenian diaspora, Grigorian affirms that the vast majority of Armenians across Europe strongly oppose Armenia's growing tilt toward the West. With 80% of Armenian exports going to Russia, Grigorian asserts, "Armenia's future is tied to its relationship with Russia, not the EU."

Clampdown on Armenian Church logical outcome of nationโ€™s pro-West drift: Scott Ritter

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œArmenia is undergoing a geopolitical rebalancing act that has political consequences,โ€ the ex-US Marine Corps intelligence officer told Sputnik, commenting on the scandalous arrest of an Armenian businessman accused of plotting to โ€œseize powerโ€ after his defense of the Armenian Apostolic Church against a government crackdown.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œArmenia had sought, under the influence of the European Union, to distance itself from Russia and to align itself with the European Union, and evenโ€ฆpossible alignment with NATO,โ€ Ritter said, characterizing the crisis as a โ€œpart of a domestic political conflict between opposing political forcesโ€ in which the Church has become a casualty.
