Weekly review of Armenian News from https://groong.org.Keeping up with news related to Armenia and Armenians can be challenging: the sheer volume of news in the past few years has increased greatly, and along with that volume, we’ve seen the rise of the “Fake News” phenomenon contributing to the erosion of trust in the news media.The diversity of languages used by the worldwide Armenian community also poses a challenge for Armenian news; there is a significant portion of news that originates in Armenian, sometimes in Russian, and does not get adequately translated into English, or Western Armenian, for those in the Diaspora who are not proficient in Eastern Armenian. Finally, with the COVID-19 pandemic and the political turbulence in countries where significant communities of the Armenian Diaspora reside, be it Syria, Lebanon, the United States, etc., many of our friends and colleagues indicate that they’re simply overloaded with information and lack the time and energy to separate the good from the bad. So we’re creating this weekly digest of news and analysis that we find relevant to share with our friends and the wider ANN/Groong audience. Our goal is to provide a brief overview of the main headlines of the past week, and then cover a smaller set of the more important developments, curated by ANN/Groong editors and contributors who spend an inordinate amount of time daily to process Armenian news. We hope that over time this podcast will help our listeners in becoming more astute consumers of Armenian news. We will strive to provide a rich set of notes with each installation, with links to the most relevant articles and information as a starting point for your further investigation.

Conversations on Groong - March 12, 2025TopicsCeasefire Terms: The Ukraine-U.S. proposal is a 30-day truce, contingent on Russia's acceptance, with U.S. resuming military aid and intelligence-sharing.Negotiation Dynamics: Ukraine seeks breathing space, the U.S. aims for diplomatic progress, and Russia has yet to respond, keeping its options open.Posturing & International Pressure: The U.S., Ukraine, and the EU are aligning their messaging, framing Russia as the obstacle if it rejects the deal. Marco Rubio stated, “If Russia doesn't accept, we'll know who is perpetuating the conflict.”Risks & Challenges: Concerns include lack of enforcement mechanisms, past ceasefire violations, and whether Russia could use this as a regrouping opportunity rather than a step toward peace.GuestArthur MartirosyanHostsHovik ManucharyanEpisode 422 | Recorded: March 12, 2025https://podcasts.groong.org/422Video: https://youtu.be/R9alqL3KZWA#UkraineCeasefire #JeddahTalks #RussiaUkraineWar #geopoliticsSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong
