Some claim that Armenia’s previous governments were intransigent on NK issue, that only Pashinyan showed “political will.” This is a major myth — one I addressed in my column. civilnet.am/en/news/1000842

Armenia’s democracy is eroding—and the 2026 elections are unlikely to reverse the trend. My op-ed. civilnet.am/en/news/985269

After work today, I felt somewhat anxious and decided to write this article, in which I have included both some personal anecdotes and general observations. civilnet.am/en/news/975316…

My op-ed: Details of the so-called “Trump Route” are not disclosed. Who will control the road, check passports, collect fees? And after Karabakh’s fall—why should this be presented as a 'great achievement'? civilnet.am/en/news/970290…

This is the diplomatic equivalent of negotiating how much of your front yard you are willing to give away, rather than insisting the fence stay where it belongs. Op-ed by @VartanOskanian civilnet.am/en/news/967844…

"I never imagined Armenian leaders would describe the ethnic cleansing of Artsakh as the true realization of independence. That's not just cynical—it's dangerous." My latest: on @Arm__Grig's new book. civilnet.am/en/news/966589…👇

This is what #Genocide and #EthnicCleansing look like in 2025: ➖ Bombed cities ➖ Beheaded civilians ➖ Mutilated women ➖ Starved 120K people under blockade ➖ Ethnically cleansed an entire population Now they celebrate it in an empty Armenian city. #SanctionAzerbaijan

This is not how a serious country behaves. This is not how a rule-of-law state acts. And this is certainly not how a small, landlocked country that depends on attracting outside investment should treat one of its largest infrastructure operators. civilnet.am/en/news/961184…

Armenia now stands at a crossroads, where civil liberties, economic progress, and national security are all under simultaneous threat. The Karapetyan case is not an exception, it’s a glaring symptom of a systemic problem. bit.ly/3T0RjGO

Armenian Church accused Pashinyan of launching a politically motivated campaign to discredit it. In a rare rebuke, Church leaders said his attacks on clergy “cross legal and moral lines” and threaten national unity. #Armenia #ChurchState #Pashinyan bit.ly/4kPwNVj

A displaced student from Karabakh was accepted then expelled from a Georgian university because her "diploma isn't recognized." Anush Petrosyan now faces another roadblock: being told she must verify her credentials through Azerbaijan. bit.ly/4kIAjBH

This is such a shame.

American Christian leaders sent a letter to President Trump urging decisive action to free 24 Christian hostages—23 Armenian Christians and one Azerbaijani Christian convert—held by Azerbaijani authorities. bit.ly/3R0bzaf

Very bad news. Azerbaijan is expelling the ICRC, Armenia is removing Yeghishe from the international court. bit.ly/4bu2uA4

Watch philanthropist @RubenVardanyan_'s address during the 2020 war. He always said that he was against any war & promoted peace & respect for cultural heritage. Behind is the mosque that his foundation restored. Ruben is hostage now--his life is in danger in Baku. #FreeRuben

The scale of Armenia’s national tragedy under Pashinyan—and his direct responsibility for its unfolding—makes his continued leadership an insurmountable obstacle to any sustainable resolution with Azerbaijan. @VartanOskanian civilnet.am/en/news/819431…

The likelihood of constructing a modular nuclear power plant in Armenia is extremely low, as such plants have not yet been built anywhere in the world. bit.ly/4hXxOco

A leader who casts doubt on the Armenian genocide cannot claim to represent the Armenian people. Such behavior not only disqualifies Pashinyan from leading Armenia but also raises serious questions about his motivations. civilnet.am/en/news/814007…
