      On October 4th Armenian Americans in Los Angeles will have a choice: To stand proud and strong for Hai Tahd, the sacred cause of our ancient nation, or to cross the protest line to dine at Beverly Hills Hotel and raise a toast to Serj Sarkisyan as he prepares to give away, with the stroke of his pen, the Armenian rights, dignity, and security that generations of men and women have fought and died to defend.

      You can’t blame the guy for trying to get many perspectives….I’m not saying I agree with the protocols (they need to move more prudently without compromising what is important, like the Genocide or Artsakh), but at least on the surface it seems like Pres. Sarkisian cares about what the diaspora thinks. He is not as bad of a person and leader that everyone here makes him out to be. Months ago he made an impassioned plea for the diaspora to help Armenia; one Russian millionaire (I think) gave a lot of money to help out Armenia’s infrastructure.

      Serzh Sargsyan must be impeached and expelled from Armenia if we are to save Armenia, Artsakh, the Armenian Cause and Armenian national interests. In essense he is continuing the work of Levon Ter Petrosian another stooge of foreign powers who ultimately under pressure resigned from presidency.
      Believe me, if Vazgen Sargsyan was alive he would have not let these two bastards endanger the national interests of Armenian people.
      All healthy Armenian parties must work together in order to get rid of this traitor and imposter. I urge all Armenians to protest visits of Serzh Sargsyan to our communities in diaspora in protest of signing of protocols
      and demand his resignation.

      We need to understand that without opening boarders Armenia pays double the tax on products hat pass through tbilisi. That is who our enemy is. We have Artsakh, we wont return it. What we as Armenians need is to help our Motherland( Hayastan and Artsakh) to establish reliable transit rout for our products. Lets face it Armenia need money, the only way to make money is to sell products that you make, and to sell products you need reliable and cheap routs.answer comes up “turks”.

      Serge is someone who gets his kicks having the leaders of foreign powers stroke his ego. He is star struck. To him, getting a phone call from the likes of – ugh – Hillary Clinton makes his day. He is thrilled when he sees her pantsuit.

      Don’t tell me that he and others are not thinking that they can get a Nobel prize.

      He cares more about himself and what non-Armenians think than about what Armenians think. That is what a disgusting person he is.

      Sargsian and Nalbandian are obsessed with Turkish delights, and Turkish bath, these two clans like to be heroes, in front of Mrs. Clinton, and President Gul, and President Sarkozy, so why we should bother and protest, where they already damage Armenian statehood, only things left for them to resign, and seek for an asylum in Turkey or France.

      My beloved Armenian sisters and brothers, yesterday at Beverly Hills you saved my Armenian soul. For long I have felt like Pokr Mher that our forfathers told us, that he was so sad of the evils that existed in the world, he entered the cave-rock of eternity, whereupon the cave closed on him at the Mheri Door. But now, I feel more assured on what William Saroyan and Armenian poets told us, that you cannot kill an Armenian soul, eventually it will find a crack of liberty and will survive its destiny. To very youth, I have one thing to say:
      Every national can assimilate easily to become American or European, but only a brave invidual can re-Armenize herself or himself.
      KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND EMBRACE YOUR ARMENIAN ROOTS!!!

      While you are just talking to yourselves, those lunatics are happily pushing forward their agenda of selling the nation, in couple of day’s time he will just fly to Ankara and sign the contract of selling Armenia with dreams and hopes of 8 million Armenians, rendering future generations homeless, is there someone to stop him?

      Compliance status

      We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

      To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

      This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

      Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

      If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

      Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

      Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

      1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

        These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

      2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

        Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

      Disability profiles supported in our website

      • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
      • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
      • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
      • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
      • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
      • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

      Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

      1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
      2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
      3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
      4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
      5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
      6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
      7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

      Browser and assistive technology compatibility

      We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

      Notes, comments, and feedback

      Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
