2021-04-08 17:22:32 Armenian men over 27 can start packing their baggages

A few weeks ago, the Parliament kicked off meetings to discuss a new resolution allowing those who didn’t serve in the Armenian Armed Forces to return to homeland without any persecution and pre-conditions.

Today, the Armenian Government approved the draft resolution and submitted it to the Parliament.
Next up, the Parliament will be signing the resolution into a law.

Note, this resolution only pertains to those who turned 27 years of age before September 26, 2020. In other words, if you were 27 before the war you can start looking for airline tickets.

According to the Minister of Justice, the maximum of 5131 persons, who are wanted under the Title 1 Article 327 of the Criminal Code are now considered as beneficiaries for this amnesty program.

2021-04-06 02:54:41 Los Angeles Times Editorial: President Biden, call it by its name: the Armenian genocide

President Biden has an opportunity this month to use honest and accurate terminology in describing the Ottoman Empire’s killing of more than 1 million Armenians a century ago. When the anniversary of the start of the massacre arrives, he can and should call it a genocide, a term that only one president — Ronald Reagan — has previously used in that context. And even then, Reagan made the reference as an aside in a proclamation about another atrocity, the Holocaust.

In fact, it’s dumbfounding that calling what happened to the Armenians “genocide” is even debatable. It’s like saying, “You know, if we don’t call the time when the river water raged down Main Street a flood, then the damage wasn’t so bad.”
