Dr. Arthur Khachikyan, PhD in Political Science from Stanford University, discussed the persecution of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church by Nikol Pashinyan’s government, Pashinyan’s disgraceful anti-church campaign, and also the possible implications of the new US National Security Strategy by the Trump Administration for Armenia with Dr. John Eibner, American human rights activist and the President of Christian Solidarity International (CSI) human rights organization John Eibner.
Dr. Pietro Shakarian, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of History at the National Research University – Higher School of Economics in St. Petersburg and a returning lecturer at the American University of Armenia, responded to Prime Minister Pashinyan’s statement that he sees “no problem” with Turkey potentially pursuing the idea of Greater Turan. Shakarian recalled key historical events, emphasizing that the concept behind the “Turan” project originates from the goal of permanently exterminating the Armenian people from their historical homeland.
