Déjà vu. Again we anxiously wait to see if the resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide will be favorably voted out of the House Foreign Relations Committee. If Turkey with its coterie of paid lobbyists, academic surrogates, and other associated anti-genocide proponents fails to defeat congressional passage of the resolution, another moral victory may be added [...]

The roadmap to regime change is a response to conditions that were crystallized by the recently signed protocols which represent the first step in the process of rapprochement between Armenia and Turkey. The ARF has properly viewed these documents as being detrimental to Armenia’s present and future national interests. In response to this assessment, the [...]

The adage is that “actions speak louder than words.” The principles and concepts guiding the Armenian Revolutionary Federation’s (ARF) recently announced roadmap to regime change in Armenia are consistent with the historic mission of the ARF. Unfortunately, however, it took the protocols—an 11th hour development in the process of normalizing relations between Armenia and Turkey—for [...]

It would be fair to say that the protocols Nalbandian recently signed in Zurich contains absolutely nothing that benefits Armenia’s economic and political interests or its longterm security needs. The protocols are Turkish documents, under the guise of having been mediated by Switzerland. They are documents that strengthen Turkey’s position within the region and essentially [...]

The years 1915 through 1923 were witness to more than the Ottoman Turkish government’s sponsored murder of some 1.5 million innocent Armenian men, women, and children under the most inhumane methods possible. The complacent western allies allowed Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) to continue the genocide against the remnants of the Armenian population left within the eastern [...]

Samckhe-Javakheti (Javakhk) is an Armenian-populated region situated in southwestern Georgia bordering Armenia and Turkey to the south and southwest, respectively, and the Georgian province of Adchara (Ajaria) to the west. It occupies a strategic position athwart the Kars-Tbilisi-Baku railroad currently under construction that purposely bypasses Armenia and the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. Of the three principal countries [...]

The following comment is attributed to President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan conjecturing on the possibility of Artsakh achieving local autonomy when it is returned to Baku’s jurisdiction. “It may take a year, maybe 10 years, maybe 100 years, or it will never be possible. Time will tell.” That mindset that Karabagh will revert to Azerbaijani [...]

The “roadmap to normalization” is a roadmap to oblivion for Armenia. Secrecy in the ongoing negotiations may be necessary, but given the advantage that Turkey enjoys and the strident comments made by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President Abdullah Gul, and the former Minister of Foreign Affairs Ali Babacan, the only conclusion that can be [...]

For close to a century, Armenians have lived with the psychological and emotional trauma caused by the genocide. In addition, Armenians have suffered the indignity of having their centuries-long occupation of historic Armenia not only challenged, but their physical imprint upon the land destroyed by their oppressors, and their right to justice ignored or questioned.
The [...]

President Barack Obama’s statement at a joint news conference on April 6 with Turkish President Abdullah Gul—“(M)y views [on the Armenian Genocide] are on the record and I have not changed my views”—may be translated to mean that the United States and Turkey should agree to disagree about the genocide.
During his much-anticipated visit to Turkey [...]
