One hundred and five years ago, the First was proclaimed.
Honor and glory to its founders, guardians and protectors, all devoted heirs—generation after generation. Without it, fragile and deficient but heroic, long-suffering but enlightened, unprepared for the incessant series of blows from inside and out but still strong in spirit, we would not have had our twin worlds of the Republic of Armenia and our standard-bearer Artsakh—we ourselves would not have existed even on this last state frontline of hope representing a sliver of our larger Homeland.

Glory to its liberators, to those who made it a fertile hearth and gave it blood of life, and to its defenders!
Even for thirty years we were unable to preserve her—presidents and premiers, ministers and generals, officials both native and from the diaspora.
How arrogant and megalomaniac, greedy and gluttonous, myopic and self-taken were we, the unworthy standard-bearers, entrusted with the responsibility for national rights and state interest.
Europe should never put a sign of equality between the perpetrator of genocide and the one who resists it

RAFFI HOVANNISIAN'S OFFICIAL FACEBOOK PAGE HACKED, COMPLETELY EMPTIED
- Details
Yerevan—Over the weekend, the official facebook page for Raffi K. Hovannisian, Armenia’s first minister of foreign affairs and founding chairman of the Heritage Party, was hacked and emptied of all of its content from inception to the current day.
The page, which for years had been administered for civic-political purposes only, and not for personal communications, was wiped clean on March 18, a day after Hovannisian published a statement entitled “It’s All Been Said, But Not Done.”
Like many of Raffi Hovannisian’s freely-expressed oral and written addresses of late, it called on his fellow citizens hereafter to save their breath in reacting to the endless sequence of nationally damaging statements made by a self-taken commander in chief, and instead to focus an achieving a new nationwide consolidation—to include a self-cleansing reckoning with the ills of the preceding periods—to save the Homeland from the unprecedented decline and destruction, imposed both externally and internally, currently underway.
It is to be assumed that Hovannisian’s facebook page was destroyed as part of that same plan by the party who was most affected by his March 17 posting.
As two matters of fact, the “Aravot” newspaper’s website was terminally hacked last week, the day after its reporter asked a provocative question of the incumbent prime minister during his press conference; and last July after a series of standard public statements of concern Hovannisian was suddenly, inexplicably, but at once quite transparently barred from entering and attending his grandson’s holy baptism in the Republic of Artsakh.
Reports about Raffi Hovannisian’s national and civic activities, together with a partial record of his public expressions, are still accessible at www.heritage.am

Russian peacekeepers charged with maintaining the humanitarian corridor do not intervene. European monitors do not show. Food and medical supplies are barred from entering Artsakh. The republic, unrecognized, is also isolated.
