A Congressional hearing organized by Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission this week titled “Human Rights in Azerbaijan since the COP 29 UN Climate Change Conference” put the spotlight on Azerbaijan's ethnic cleansing of Nagorno Karabakh - or Artsakh - and issues such as securing the release of Armenian hostages illegally held by Baku. The hearing came days after the commemoration of the Armenian Genocide. Aram Hamparian, the Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America, joins Thanos Davelis as we look into this hearing, and break down what steps the US can take to hold Azerbaijan accountable.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Rep.

Next month COP 29, the UN's flagship climate conference, is once again going to be hosted by an authoritarian petrostate - Azerbaijan. In the build up to COP29, human rights organizations, civil society groups, and major news outlets have all shared their concerns about Azerbaijan's human rights record - from its aggression in the Caucasus against Armenians to its crackdown on dissidents at home. Aram Hamparian, the Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA), joins Thanos Davelis to look into the growing pressure on Azerbaijan, and break down why COP29 should matter to anyone who believes in human rights.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:COP29 and the greenwashing of AzerbaijanBack off, Azerbaijan tells human rights critics ahead of COP29At UN dinner, Cypriot leaders agree to meet again soonMajority of Greeks concerned about overtourism, survey findsMitsotakis: ‘Greece does not have an overtourism problem'

Today marks 109 years since the Armenian genocide began. With commemorations taking place across the world, there is a renewed fear that the lessons of “Never Again” have been forgotten following Azerbaijan's attack on Nagorno Karabakh and the subsequent mass exodus of over 100,000 Armenians from the region in what has been described as ethnic cleansing. Aram Hamparian, the Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America, joins Thanos Davelis to talk about the very real threats facing Armenians in the Caucasus today, and to look at what steps the West - particularly the US - need to take to give meaning to the words “Never Again”. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Armenians fear new war with Azerbaijan despite talk of peaceArmenian victims group asks International Criminal Court to investigate genocide claimBipartisan, Bicameral Coalition of U.S. Legislators Call for American Leadership to Secure Justice for Artsakh and the Armenian GenocideGreek top court bars far-right Spartiates party from EU election raceGreece draws 3 bln euros from 30-year bond amid huge demand

It's New Year's day, Monday, January 1st, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Don't abandon Armenian hostages A day after a limited prisoner exchange between Armenia and Azerbaijan took place, a coalition of human rights organizations is urging the United States not to abandon Azerbaijan's remaining Armenian hostages, reports Christian Solidarity International. In a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Christian Solidarity International, Genocide Watch, Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust, and the Armenian National Committee of America pointed out that dozens more Armenians are still being held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.   These include eight current and former members of the elected government of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh who were kidnapped during Azerbaijan's attack on Nagorno Karabakh in September, during which the entire Armenian population of the region was expelled.   On December 13th, Azerbaijan released 32 Armenian soldiers. In exchange, Armenia released two Azerbaijani soldiers who had been detained after infiltrating sovereign Armenian territory and killing an Armenian civilian.  Please pray for the peace of God which in Philippians 4:7 is described as “surpassing all understanding.” Maine secretary of state disqualifies Trump from primary ballot Last Thursday, Maine's Democrat Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said former President Trump is disqualified from holding office and thus she has removed him from the state's primary ballot under section 3 of the 14th Amendment over his role in the January 6, 2021 rally at the U.S. Capitol. In her decision, she wrote, “The U.S. Constitution does not tolerate an assault on the foundations of our government, and Section 336 requires me to act in response.” In an interview with CBS News Thursday night, Bellows further explained her reasoning. Listen. BELLOWS: “I'm mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a candidate of ballot access under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. But no presidential candidate has ever engaged in an insurrection. My job was to evaluate the facts presented at the hearing, the evidence that was produced, and the record graded in that proceeding, and to evaluate that and make a ruling, which is what I did.” Bellows added, “Given the compressed timeframe, the novel constitutional questions involved, the importance of this case, and impending ballot preparation deadlines, I will suspend the effect of my decision until the Superior Court rules on any appeal or the time to appeal … has expired.” The state of Colorado has also removed Donald Trump from the presidential ballot as well. Biden strategy: Distract America from economy, claim Trump threatens democracy In an internal election memo released Thursday, Biden's campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, said, “We are treating this election like it will determine the fate of American democracy – because it will,” reports Bloomberg. She also said, “The threat Donald Trump posed in 2020 to American democracy has only grown more dire since then. He is running a campaign on revenge and retribution – and at the expense of Americans' freedoms.” Not surprisingly, the Biden campaign seeks to de-emphasize the economic catastrophe of his first term during which prices have increased cumulatively by 17.4 percent. Instead, they are convinced that the winning political strategy is to put democracy itself at the center of Biden's re-election argument. Right now, in the RealClearPolitics average of eight presidential polls, Trump is beating Biden 46.8% to 45.5%. COVID mask mandates return to hospitals in four states and D.C. Hospitals across the U.S. are reinstating COVID-19 mask mandates as the JN.1 variant becomes the dominant strain spreading throughout the country, reports Newsweek. Hospitals in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and Washington D.C. have all brought back divisive rules mandating masks for selected people in medical settings. The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control has recorded a 10.4 percent increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations across America in the week leading up to December 16.  Additionally, there has been an increase of 3.4 percent in deaths related to the coronavirus in the same period. Mailman rescues toddler And finally, a Massachusetts mailman, named David Moulton, delivered more than his routine batch of letters. For the first time in eight years of walking his route, he delivered a 3-year-old toddler to safety, reports CBS News. MOULTON: “They say the ways of God are mysterious you know. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.” The boy had managed to somehow leave Salem Community Day Care in Salem, Massachusetts.  MOULTON:  “He ran past me this way for us to the park. I thought he was running to play with kids or something like that. And then all of a sudden, I saw him zip by me again, and I'm like, ‘He's headed to a busy street.'” Unbelievably, the toddler was walking the sidewalks and streets, in the cold, for nearly 30 minutes.   MOULTON: “He's got no shoes and no jacket on. This isn't right. I'm wearing four layers of clothes. He was shaking. He was shivering. He was cold.” Moulton took action. MOULTON: “I have children of my own. I can't just let him head to the street, stand there, and do nothing. I just scooped him up before he got into the street over there.” The postman told reporters that the toddler was about to cross Congress Street, a very busy thoroughfare. MOULTON: “I'm very glad that it ended well. It could have been real bad.” After rescuing him, Moulton called 9-1-1. Thankfully, the medical personnel who arrived determined the boy was just fine. In Matthew 10:29-31, Jesus said a sparrow “does will not fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” The police have referred the case to the District Attorney's Office in Massachusetts and the Department of Children and Families which are investigating Salem Community Day Care.

Interview with Mr Michael Kolokossian, Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of Australia (ANCA). The main topics of discussion are the visit of the Australian parliamentary delegation to Armenia, Azerbaijan's unprovoked attack on Artsakh, the indigenous Armenian population of Artsakh forcibly displaced, Australian Aid for Artsakh Armenians, ANCA Gala nights in Melbourne and Sydney. - Հարցազրոյց Աւստրալիոյ Հայ Դատի Յանձնախումբի Գործադիր Տնօրէն Մայքլ Քոլոքոսեանի հետ:

Anavatanın sınırları dışındaki bir veya birden fazla ülkeye dağılmış insan topluluğu olarak tarif edilen diasporalar günümüzde önemli bir etki aracı olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bir kimliğe ait olma bilinciyle anavatan için işlevsel olan diasporalar, özellikle bulundukları yerlerin dış politikalarına kendi ülkeleri lehine müdahil olabilmektedirler. Bir tür lobicilik faaliyeti de icra eden diasporaların, uluslararası kararların alınması ve ihtilaflı durumların çözülmesinde, karar alıcılara etki edebilmektedirler. Örneğin 70'lerden bu yana Avrupa'ya işgücü maksadıyla giden Türklerin hem bulundukları ülkelerin karar alma süreçleri hem de Türkiye'ye yönelik politikalarda belirleyici olabilmektedirler. Bugün sadece işgücü olarak değil siyaset ve bürokraside de etkinlik alanını genişleten Türk diasporasının, etkili olduğu ülkelerde bu gücü hissettirdiğini görebiliriz. Benzer biçimde Latin Amerika'da 10 milyonun üzerinde bir nüfusla temsil edilen Arapların yoğun ve güçlü bir diaspora oluşturdukları bilinmektedir. Yine Birleşik Devletler'in yaklaşık yüzde 2'lik nüfusuna tekabül eden Yahudilerin dış politika başta olmak üzere birçok alanda son derece etkili oldukları bilinmektedir. ERMENI DIASPORASI VE TÜRKIYE Son dönemde Türkiye ile ihtilafları üzerinden gündeme gelen Ermeni diasporası da Batı'da oluşturduğu networkler aracılığıyla etkili olmaya çalışmaktadır. Öyle ki ABD ve Fransa'da bir çıkar grubu olarak hareket ederek karar alıcılar üzerinde hayli etkin olan Ermenilerin Türkiye ile ilgili birçok konuda negatif bir tutum takındıkları görülmektedir. Özellikle tarihi gerçekleri çarpıtarak inşa ettikleri “sözde soykırım” konusu başta olmak üzere Dağlık Karabağ ve Kıbrıs gibi başlıklarda negatif kampanyalara imza atmaktadırlar. 2020 seçimlerinde Biden'ı destekleyen diasporanın “sözde soykırım”ın tanınması noktasında kat ettiği mesafe ortada. Biden'ın seçimlerin ardından Trump'tan farklı olarak 1915 olaylarını “soykırım” olarak tanımlaması bu etkiyi çok açık biçimde göstermektedir. Hatırlayacak olursak çok yakın bir tarihte Atatürk dizisinin Disney adlı uluslararası platformda yayınlanmasının engellenmesi de Ermeni lobilerin etkisiyle mümkün olabilmiştir. Başta “The Armenian National Committee of America” (ANCA) olmak üzere birçok grubun düzenlediği karşı kampanya, karar alıcılar nezdinde etkili olmuş ve dizinin yayınlanması engellenmiştir. Uzun süren tartışmaların ardından Ermeni lobisinin taleplerini karşılayan Disney'in, diziye sansür uygulayarak yayınlamaktan vazgeçmesi, diasporadaki Ermenilerin ne kadar etkili olduğunu da göstermiştir. Öyle ki söz konusu lobicilik Türkiye'de de etkili olmuş ve Kemalist kimliği ile temayüz etmiş birçok sanatçı da bu lobinin karşı faaliyetlerine karşı sessiz kalarak Disney'e karşı herhangi bir eleştiri yöneltme-miştir.

April 24th marks the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. This year, commemorations take on a new meaning as Armenians continue to face hostility as Azerbaijan, backed by Turkey, continues its monthslong blockade of the only route into Artsakh, the Armenian-governed enclave in Nagorno-Karabakh, cutting off food, water, and gas. Aram Hamparian, the Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss why this year's commemoration of the Armenian Genocide takes on a new sense of urgency, look at the US response to Azerbaijan's aggression, and explore the steps Congress is taking to give meaning to the words Never Again. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Biden Must Go Beyond A Cut-And-Paste Job On Armenian Genocide RecognitionCongress Marks Armenian Genocide by Warning of Second Genocide against ArtsakhArmenian Genocide Education Act IntroducedPresident Biden's April 24 Statement Silent on Azerbaijan's Genocidal Actions Against ArtsakhMilitary plane traveling to Egypt to collect Greeks evacuated from SudanDendias raises concerns over EU handling of Sudan crisisGreek president approves PM request for May 21 electionMitsotakis stresses need for political stability after May 21 vote

A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in the Caucasus, as Azerbaijan is blockading the Lachin corridor, the main road in Nagorno Karabakh, or Artsakh. Azerbaijan's blockade, which has been ongoing since December 12, has deprived some 120,000 Armenians in Artsakh of food, medicine and other vital supplies, and the Armenian foreign ministry has accused Azerbaijan of "ethnic cleansing." Aram Hamparian, the Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss Azerbaijan's blockade of Nagorno Karabakh and the humanitarian crisis unfolding, and look at what steps the US should take to support the people of Nagorno Karabakh and hold Baku accountable.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Armenia warns of humanitarian crisis as central road in Nagorno-Karabakh blocked for 24 daysArmenian activists protest over Karabakh road link standoffSources rule out Greek election before AprilBritish Museum in talks with Greece over return of Parthenon marblesBritish Museum says in 'constructive' discussions over Parthenon marbles

Aram Hamparian, the Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America, joins Thanos Davelis to break down how this hearing shed light on the State Department's deeply flawed policies in this region and the dangers of America's both-siderism, and look at the key bills on the table that could give the US a stronger hand in addressing aggression in the region.Watch the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's hearing here: Assessing U.S. Policy In The CaucasusYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:US hosts talks between Armenia, Azerbaijan's foreign ministersChairman Menendez Grills State Department Officials on U.S. Aid to Azerbaijan; Lack of US assistance to ArtsakhUS representatives keep up pressure for strings on F-16 sale to TurkeyErdogan says military threat to Greece a ‘basic principle'

On Tuesday Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to a Russia-brokered ceasefire at their border following the deadliest clashes since the war that took place last year in Nagorno-Karabakh, or Arstakh. Armenia's foreign ministry said this attack is part of a broader Azerbaijani policy that began in May aimed at infiltrating key Armenian areas in the east and southeast. It's been reported that a key issue here is that Azerbaijan's President Aliyev wants to set up a corridor running through Armenian territory that would link Azerbaijan to Turkey, a move supported by Turkey's President Erdogan. In the meantime, members of Congress have condemned Azerbaijan's latest aggression, and the US Senate is considering three key amendments to the NDAA that would hold Azerbaijan and Turkey accountable. Aram Hamparian, the Armenian National Committee of America's Executive Director, joins The Greek Current to discuss the latest developments at the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, the response from the US, and the key bills that the Senate is considering. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Why Turkey and Azerbaijan Won't Get a Corridor Across ArmeniaMenendez Introduces Amendment to Revoke U.S. Presidential Waiver of Section 907 Restrictions on U.S. Aid to AzerbaijanGreek PM confident EU fiscal rules will changeTurkey's Erdogan Evokes Religion in New Push for Lower RatesErdogan says he will keep battling interest rates, hitting liraTurkish Lira Tumbles After Erdogan Renews Call for Unorthodox Rate Cuts

Armenia's government said on Wednesday that three of its soldiers were killed after Azeri forces attacked Armenian positions near the border where clashes have become more frequent despite a ceasefire agreed to after Azerbaijan's assault on Nagorno Karabakh last fall. Both sides later accepted a Russian ceasefire proposal to try to calm tensions. Meanwhile, this week the US House of Representatives expressed concern over President Biden's waiver of Section 907 restrictions on US aid to Azerbaijan, called for more US assistance to Armenia, and passed an amendment to block foreign military and training aid to Azerbaijan. Aram Hamparian, the Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee, joins The Greek Current to break down these latest developments.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here: Ceasefire called after Armenian soldiers killed in clashesU.S. House Raises Alarm Over Biden Waiver of Section 907 Restriction on U.S. Aid to AzerbaijanRep.

Last week Armenia raised the alarm that Azerbaijan had launched an incursion into Armenian territory, once again escalating tensions. This latest development comes less than six months after a cease-fire ended Azerbaijan's devastating assault on Nagorno-Karabakh.

Today we seek to gain a broader understanding of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. On Sept. 27, 2020 Azerbaijan attacked the disputed territory and a proclaimed independent region, the Republic of Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh). The historical and unresolved conflict over this mountainous region is long standing. To fully understand the issues and what is needed for resolution, we dive into the history of these countries and the land occupation, how Turkey and Russia have influenced and benefit from an ongoing conflict, and why there exists an intergenerational, emotional connection for Armenians around the world. We will also explore the rich cultural significance of the region and Armenia, the role of the international community, and the connection to Climate change and oil politics. In this episode we speak with Vaché Thomassian, Glendale Board Member of Armenian National Committee of America [http://www.ANCA.org] and Dr. Djene Rhys Bajalan, Assistant Professor at Missouri State University. Djene Rhys Bajalan is an assistant professor in the Department of History at Missouri State University [https://history.missouristate.edu/drbajalan.aspx].

There's been a war going on for the last few weeks, but one side says most of the world is ignoring it. A patch of mountainous terrain about twice the size of the ACT that's claimed by both Azerbaijan and Armenia has been the site of fierce fighting since late September. One side is calling it an invasion, while the other calls it righting a historic wrong. So is it really being ignored? And is it about to get worse? Today on the Signal, the world's newest war you've never heard of.

Serj Tankian, lead singer of System of a Down, voted the #1 band of 2002 by leading critics, is one of the most original and passionate of today’s artists, and one of Integral Institute’s favorite contributors to our ongoing conversation on the avant garde. With a surging and cacophonic presentation, System of a Down simply can’t be pigeonholed—a type of genre-busting transcendental howl. Rolling Stone magazine called System’s sophomore effort, Toxicity, “a bouquet of smart rock and ardent social comment.” In this surprisingly touching dialogue, Serj speaks about some of the most important aspects of his life that contribute to the “post-everything” bouquet of sound that is System of a Down. All four members of System are of Armenian heritage, and Serj begins the conversation by commenting on their activities with the Armenian National Committee of America and its efforts to hold the US to its commitments to the Genocide Convention. Encyclopedia Britannica estimates that the Ottoman/Turkish government was responsible for the deaths of 600,000–1,500,000 Armenians from 1915-1923, and yet, as Serj points out, this tragedy is “not recognized by the United States officially as a genocide.” Serj and Ken go on to speak of how a creative response to injustice is central to their work, whether musical or academic. What they both have in common is an integral-aperspectival space—a holding space in consciousness—that rebels against the marginalization of any views, and one of the views most marginalized in today’s world is the integral. Both the culture and the counterculture actively oppress it. But the conversation is far from morbid. “I think the most open times for me have been when I’m completely goofy and creative… and the most serious and powerful things can come through that goofiness.” The conversation dances from the beginnings of System, to Serj’s eclectic musical interests, to the vital role of a spacious—and integral—consciousness in living and creating in today’s world. Many people listen to System of a Down and think, “How could you be so angry?” In this dialogue Serj explains, “I’m not angry.” The expression of a deeply caring consciousness can be a passionate shout or a compassionate whisper; they go together. What is so moving about this conversation is the depth of heart-felt compassion and justice expressed by Serj Tankian. “I’ve never spoken so personally about these issues,” he told us. After hearing this dialogue, we think you’ll be glad that he did….

Louisa Sharamatayan talks with Araksya Karapetyan! Emmy award winning anchor Araksya Karapetyan anchors the morning newscasts on FOX 11’s Good Day LA in Los Angeles. A native of Armenia, Araksya moved to the United States from Gyumri when she was seven years old. A devastating earthquake, a brewing conflict with Azerbaijan, and the demise of the Soviet Union all contributed to her family's decision to leave their homeland. Araksya grew up in Palos Verdes Estates, California but her connection to her homeland has remained strong. Araksya has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in International Relations and Broadcast Journalism from Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. Araksya began her television career as an intern at KABC-TV in Los Angeles, KFI 640 AM radio in Burbank and Torrance CitiCABLE 3. Her interest in journalism sparked in 2006 when she went back to Armenia for a visit after graduating college. While there, she decided to spend her time not by being a tourist, but by exploring to see what everyday life was really like for the average Armenian. Araksya grabbed a camcorder and literally hit the streets of Gyrumi to talk to everyday people about life post-communism. She interviewed people and visited places such as an orphanage, a psychiatric ward, some schools, and a home for the elderly to fully understand the issues the newly democratic country was facing. That experience —and that trip —-ignited her passion to pursue journalism. Araksya has been reporting and anchoring at FOX 11 for the past 7 1/2 years. Before coming back home to Los Angeles, Araksya worked in Idaho Falls, Idaho as a reporter, photographer, editor, writer, producer and weekend anchor. She then made an impressive jump from the small town of Idaho Falls to Portland, Oregon. She spent two years there as a general assignment reporter, always leading the evening newscasts with the big investigative stories of the day. Araksya also had an opportunity to host a lifestyle show while in Portland, giving her a chance to showcase more of her personality. Over the years Araksya has gotten heavily involved with the Armenian community in Los Angeles. She recently emceed the welcoming ceremony of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at Los Angeles city hall and had the opportunity to speak to the Prime Minster in an exclusive interview. This past April, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors recognized Araksya for her dedicated work within the Armenian American community. In October, Araksya accepted the “Excellence in Media” Award from the Armenian National Committee of America Western Region (ANCA -WR) in her tireless effort to bring attention to the Armenian Cause, for being the voice of the community and for serving as a role model for the younger generation. Pan Armenian TV named Araksya “television personality of the year” during this year’s Armenian Influencer Awards. “I am fortunate to have a job that I love and have chosen a career that challenges me every day to grow and evolve both professionally and personally. I also happen to be in a position now which allows me to share with others my culture, the Armenian story and the Armenian cause. I don’t for a moment take any of it for granted. I count my blessing everyday.” Araksya resides in Palos Verdes Estates with her husband and two daughters Sevan and Sona. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Last week the US House of Representatives passed two historic votes. The first was an almost unanimous vote (405-11) to pass H. Res. 296 recognizing the Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian genocide.

The Armenian National Committee's Executive Director Aram Hamparian joinds The Greek Current to discuss these developments and more.
