Artsakh The Inadequate Response

 Facebook Post Published By Zinq / Զինք On 21 Feb 2026 Today is the international mother tongue day. The mother tongue is a power that has gone through historical stages, has overcome numerous crises, and remains the active pulse of Armenia. Our language, Armenian, has been preserved for centuries, even no power of the enemy, no crisis has been able to influence the Armenian spirit. We have remained steadfast in our thinking and our language, in order to change history, form national thinking and strengthen our Armenian identity through the mother tongue. According to UNESCO, language loss directly threatens cultural identity and national security. Language is the form of our struggle and resistance, our strong identity, so let's stay true to our identity, keeping Armenian, our mother tongue as intact as possible. Personal Opinion: While I endorse without any hesitation the fact that the preservation of our mother tongue is very critical for the survival of the “Armenian Culture,” ...

  For well over a decade, in the midst of the chaos and carnage that has engulfed Syria since 2011, the Kurds of Syria partnered with The US to defeat ISIS, and stem the tide of Islamic radicalism that was mostly fueled by Saudi Arabia’s financial support and massive weapon transfers from Turkey. Thousands of Kurdish fighters and civilians were killed by the time ISIS was vanquished in the midst of the Syrian civil war, and North Eastern Syria fell under Kurdish control with US military support. To satisfy Turkish demands revolving around the narrative of establishing a strong central government in Damascus, America stabbed the Kurds in the back about two weeks ago, and gave the Kurdish leadership two choices; a) Obey the orders of Damascus and Turkey and disarm, and in return you will get cultural autonomy in areas inhabited predominantly by the Kurds. b) Fight the newly formed Syrian Army, closely supervised by hundreds of Turkish officers, and inevitably perish in a...

  The photo below was taken on 07 December 1970 and became known as "Kniefall von Warschau" or “Warsaw Genuflection” - the act of bending the knees to the ground as a sign of deep respect. West German Chancellor Willy Brandt was on an official visit to Poland, when he made a decision to visit the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising monument. On that cold and rainy morning, Chancellor Brandt laid a wreath in front of the monument, took a few steps back, reflected in silence on the horrors associated with the history of the monument, and spontaneously knelt to honor the memory of thousands of Jews who perished following an uprising against the Nazi Army. Chancellor Brandt emphasized that "Faced with the abyss of German history and the burden of the millions who had been murdered, I did what we humans do when words fail us." For his courage, honesty, and serious attempts to build trust with Eastern Europe, Chancellor Brandt was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1971. Wh...

  Today we honor the brave soldiers of The Armenian Armed Forces with prayers, soul searching trips, and a deep sadness for the 5,000 soldiers who hugged martyrdom during the 44-Day War, while screaming to the enemy “Mahn imatsial Anmahoutyoun E,” eternal glory to our immortal soldiers. 5,000 Armenian warriors fought valiantly five armies on the multiple fronts of Artsakh; Azerbaijan, Turkey, Pakistan, Israel, and Islamist mercenaries from Syria. Three Turkish Generals played a vital role in securing to Azeri troops an absolute dominance of Artsakh’s air space: Lieutenant General Sheref Ongay, Major General Bahtiyar Ersay, and Major General Goksel Kahya. Six hundred Turkish officers/advisors were also supporting the Generals and coordinating UAV strikes, while chaperoning Azeri officers who became “busboys” and shoe shine boys complying, like obedient dogs, with every order issued by the Turkish Officers. Azeri Generals who dared to express their annoyance with the Turkish p...

Armenian Prime Minister Launches Music Group Varchaband with First Concert in  Yerevan January 26, 2026 - The California Courier Nikol Pashinyan, the Prime Minister of Armenia, started his career as a mediocre journalist. His newspaper, Haygagan Jamanag, on the verge of bankruptcy received a lifeline of $200,000 from The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), an American NGO that  distributes money on behalf of  The CIA.  The money from NED came with a catch; return Artsakh to Aliyev, evict Russia from the South Caucasus, destroy The Third Republic, and create a “Real Armenia” in the image of Erdogan and Aliyev. Pashinyan, the failed journalist, gladly complied and entered the political arena to maintain the steady flow of financial support from many foreign sources.  From 2018 to 2026, Pashinyan the politician imposed all kinds of calamities on the Armenian society. From his disastrous handling of the 44-Day War (2020), to the total loss of Artsakh (2023), to...

 On 14 Jan 2026, I published an article titled “The Rules-Based International Order Collapsed. Can Pashinyan Adapt To The Laws Of The Jungle Or The Donroe Doctrine?” While the primary target I had in mind when preparing the article was Nikol Pashinyan, I don’t think his aids translated it and delivered the content to his attention. At best, an anlyst working for Armenia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS) took notice of it, translated it, and currently the article is resting in an electronic archiving system managed by the FIS.  In the academic world I am a NOBODY. An analysis of current international relations by a virtual unknown, who relies on quotes associated with the name of the Greek General and historian Thucydides, and his account of the Peloponnesian War (416 BC), does not carry any weight, and Armenia’s principle rulers will not have a sleepless night because an Armenian from the “Diaspora” is ranting about the destructive policies of PM Pashinyan.  But what ...

  It is not the first time that a high-ranking Minister in the government of Sultan Erdogan is expressing an unwavering dedication to the notion of saving the destiny of the Pashinyan regime, and the survival of Armenia’s Prime Minister well beyond the elections of June 2026. Many figures from the inner circle of Pashinyan studied in Turkish academic institutions, and they were strongly predisposed to serve the Turkish State under the war cry of “ ավելի լավ է լինել Թուրքիայի շունը, քան լինել Ռուսաստանի ստրուկը” English translation: “B etter be the dog of Turkey rather than be the slave of Russia” Losing valuable assets managing key positions within the Pashinyan government, is detrimental to Turkish national interests, and for this critical reason Turkey strived hard to ensure the success of the "Velvet Revolution of 2018", and interfered more than once in Armenian internal affairs to shape and colour the political landscape of Armenia. Turkey’s first atte...
