this is laughable, more propaganda! There is something BIG planned for Iran and these jokers are trying every little trick to try and get us on their side.
“some recompense”
Senator Feinstein, we want Western Armenia with its six historic Armenian provinces.
Let Us pray for our souls who were slayed (slain)
but not to forget that there are still million of Armenian
Alive in Anatolia and Turkified (lost their religion…Identity…language)
As Fathia Cetin said in her book
“We have “two I’s” identities: One in and One out ”
after discovering that her mother was Armenian…
Those people should be helped
To show the Universe that
Turks are still genociding Armenian identities…
After vanishing 2600 Churches and schools…
” No one is allowed to lilt that his genes are Armenian even in a closed room…!”
SP
If I didn’t know that Moushegh Srpazan is not 7 feet tall, I’d swear that was Phil Jackson standing to his right.
hahahaha
The best what Armenian parliament should do , would be the ratification of The Treaty of Sèvres (10 August 1920) and wait and see- nobody can balm Armenia for having ratified of The Treaty of Sèvres
