13.02.2020HYBRID CHALLENGES TO INTEGRATION PROCESSES 1
Gagik Harutyunyan
The Latin word integratio may have two meanings: integrum — whole, complete, and integratio — restoring, renewal, and both concepts are positive and in harmony with each other.

12.11.2019BREXIT, THE EU AND DEMOCRACY
by Thierry Meyssan
For Thierry Meyssan, Boris Johnson’s policy is in perfect continuity with British history. If we refer to the writings of the British Prime Minister and not to her campaign remarks, she is much more guided by the danger felt at the birth of a continental supranational state than by a desire for economic independence.

27.12.2018THE UNITED STATES REFUSE TO FIGHT FOR THE TRANSNATIONAL FINANCIERS
by Thierry Meyssan
The US withdrawal from Syria and Afghanistan, as well as the resignation of General Mattis, attest to the upheaval that is shaking the current world order. The United States are no longer the leaders, either on the economic or the military stage. They refuse to keep fighting for the sole interests of the transnational financiers. The alliances that they used to lead will begin to unravel, but without their erstwhile allies admitting the powerful ascension of Russia and China.

19.12.2018TURKISH PRECONDITIONS SHOULD BE COUNTERED BY ARMENIAN PRECONDITIONS
By Harut Sassounian
Armenia’s Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced last week that his government is ready to establish diplomatic relations with Turkey, however, without any preconditions. This announcement came as a surprise to most Armenians who were hoping that Pashinyan will not repeat the mistake of former President Serzh Sargsyan who advocated for 10 years the ratification of the Armenia-Turkey Protocols which were intended to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries and open their mutual border. 

17.12.2018WHO DOES EMMANUEL MACRON OWE?
by Thierry Meyssan
President Macron is often presented as a Rothschild Boy. This is true, but secondary. Thierry Meyssan demonstrates that he owes his electoral campaign mostly to Henry Kravis, the boss of one of the world’s largest financial companies, and to NATO – a considerable debt which weighs heavily today on the solution to the Yellow Vests crisis. Emmanuel Macron did not feel destined for a career in politics. As a young man, he hoped to become a philosopher, then a senior civil servant, then a business banker. To help him on his way, he frequented Uncle Sam’s fairy godmothers - the French-American Foundation and the German Marshall Fund of the United States.

14.12.2018INTERNET LOCALIZATION AS A MINIMAL DEFENSE AGAINST INTERNET WEAPONIZATION
By Dr. George Kostopoulos
In the recent years, a new resource has become available to the world that has greatly enhanced communications, having equally enhanced the productivity of practically all sectors. This resource covers the world like the sun and the moon, having become an infrastructure for the creation and implementation of previously impossible accomplishments. This resource is the Internet – a centrally managed network of networks – that is a valuable asset beyond quantitative valuation.

13.12.20182019 ANNUAL FORECAST
The Great Power Competition Intensifies. The United States will escalate its strategic offensive against China with tariffs, sanctions, regulatory buffers around emerging technologies, stronger backing for Taiwan and a more assertive posture in the South China Sea. At the same time, failing arms control pacts will accelerate an arms race among the United States, Russia and China. The edgier geopolitical climate will create strategic opportunities for more vulnerable borderland powers, such as Poland and Taiwan, but will also create massive headaches for middle powers trying to find neutral ground, such as Turkey, India and Vietnam.

12.12.2018U.S. AMBASSADOR TO ARMENIA SHOULD CALL THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE, A GENOCIDE
By Harut Sassounian
Everyone knows that Ambassadors have to follow the foreign policy guidelines of their governments and cannot make their own decisions. Yet it is strange that successive U.S. Ambassadors are not allowed to call the Armenian Genocide, a genocide. Just imagine the uproar if a US Ambassador stationed in Israel would refuse to use the term Jewish Holocaust!

10.12.2018ARMENIAN EVANGELICAL EMMANUEL RENOVATED CHURCH’S REDEDICATION SERVICE
“How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God” Psalm 84:1-2. At the end of the First World War the so-called civilized world treated what was left of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, as the winner, despite the terrible genocide that it had carried out against the Armenian people mostly living in Cilicia, but now a part of that country. Finally, after having survived the death-camps many of the Armenians ended up in Aleppo where they created a new ‘Armenia’. 

06.12.2018HOW THE WEST EATS ITS CHILDREN
by Thierry Meyssan
For Thierry Meyssan, by taking to the streets, the French have become the first Western population to take personal risks to oppose financial globalisation. Although they do not realise it, and still imagine that their problems are exclusively national, their enemy is the same force that crushed the region of the African Great Lakes and a part of the Greater Middle East. In order to understand the project which inextricably unites these apparently disparate events, we have to take a step back.

05.12.2018SEN. MENENDEZ DELAYS SENATE CONFIRMATION OF US AMBASSADOR TO AZERBAIJAN
By Harut Sassounian
Pres. Donald Trump nominated on Sept. 4, 2018 career Foreign Service Officer Earle Litzenberger to serve as US Ambassador to Azerbaijan replacing Amb. Robert Cekuta who left Baku nine months ago. A month before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s October 4, 2018 hearing on Litzenberger’s confirmation, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) issued a press release urging the Armenian American community, friends of Armenia, and human rights activists to call on their Senators to scrutinize Litzenberger’s nomination.

04.12.2018WHEN YOU WANT TO SANCTION STATES, YOU CALL THEM «TERRORISTS»
by Thierry Meyssan
The new unilateral sanctions by the United States against Iran, Russia and Syria add to the previous actions concerning the same three targets. They now form the most unforgiving embargo in History. The way in which they have been organised is illegal according to the definition of the Charter of the United Nations – these are weapons of war, designed for killing.

29.11.2018CHINA EXPANDS RESEARCH FUNDING, LURING U.S. SCIENTISTS AND STUDENTS
Joe Palca
In 2003, Jay Siegel was up for a new challenge. Siegel was a tenured professor of chemistry at the University of California, San Diego, but he took a job at the University of Zurich.
"When I first moved, people said, 'Oh, you're crazy to leave San Diego; it's a paradise. Why would you go to Europe? Blah, blah blah,' "recalls Siegel. "And after 10 years people were saying, 'Oh, man, that was the smartest thing you ever did. Zurich is wonderful.' "

28.11.2018SHOULD ARMENIA GRANT CITIZENSHIP TO FOREIGN INVESTORS?
By Harut Sassounian
The Acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan has made attracting overseas investors the priority of his new government. So far, it is too early to determine if foreign investors are interested in doing business in Armenia. The common explanation for the lack of new investors is that they are waiting for the results of Parliamentary elections scheduled for December 9, 2018. It is expected that the Acting Prime Minister’s political party will win the majority of the Parliamentary seats. Government officials believe that this will encourage foreigners to start investing in Armenia.
