To a West where no one seems to want to fight anymore or care anymore about their own traditions, where they spit on their own history, topple their statues and erase their own culture, where the land no longer sends any echo, the Armenians, small, scattered around the world, forgotten and barricaded, now at war for Nagorno against the Islamic Ummah led by Turkey, show us a path in which we do not allow ourselves to be overwhelmed.


Half of Nagorno’s population, 75,000 people, has been displaced due to Turkish-backed Azerbaijan attacks. We must hope they resist. I have just read a beautiful letter that the French actor Simon Abkarian addressed to Erdogan from the pages of Le Figaro:


“We Armenians fight for the future of our children, remembering our dead who refuse to die a second time. Despite your weapons, despite your religious rumors, despite your jihadists at $2,000 a month, you won’t win. Take your dead and go, the land of the Armenians is the land of knowledge, the land of honey and roses. You wouldn’t know what to do with it. Here women are queens of joy. And the girls have no certificate to present to any man. Here music and wine are indispensable remedies. Here we can believe or not believe. Because our country is not a country, it is a crossroads. And do you know who crosses it? All of humanity. If you think of slaughtering us like lambs, know that we grew up under the belly of lionesses”.


It would be wondnerful if a European man of letters, actor or politician had written that letter about his culture, too.


“I am convinced that civilization will triumph. Civilization cannot fail to win; a nation that wants to live cannot fail to win. There is no doubt that the Armenian people, who have lived on planet Earth for several thousand years, have the will to live”. This is how the Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan explains the ongoing conflict in Nagorno between Armenians and Azeris. He is right, but civilization has not always triumphed in history.

Europe sleeps, comatose. And it suffers the same blackmail that for years prevented many European parliaments from recognizing the Armenian genocide. It is no secret that the target of this monstrous terrorist network is the Armenian people, their towns and villages, their right to live freely.

Europe is helpless in the face of Turkish expansionism in Libya, in Syria, against Greece, against migrants and now against Armenia. We are ruled by servants who would be willing to become Gray Wolves for a plate of Turkish peanuts.

Erdogan and Aliyev, the Azerbaijani dictator, say “One Nation two States”. It is a pity to them that in the middle there is Christian and millenary Armenia, survivor of a genocide that they do not recognize …If the Turks were able to defeat and drive out the Armenians, who could stop their will to expand their power in Europe?

Armenians are left alone, very lonely, in this war of Islamist mercenaries and violent regimes, by a pusillanimous Europe tied hand and foot to Turkey. Western countries should not only follow in the footsteps of Canada, which has suspended the sale of arms to Turkey, but should immediately recognize the Republic of Artsakh as a sovereign country protected by international law. Armenia is a bastion of civilization to defend.

A curious incident occurred at Munich airport on Friday. A family of four from Iraq arrived from Istanbul in a private jet and initially claimed to the German authorities that they were flying to the Caribbean with a stopover. In the end they finally applied for asylum – as they were apparently threatened by a family member in their home country.

When the Iraqis arrived in the private jet, they first tried to cover up what they were really after. They claimed that Munich was only a stopover on their way to the Caribbean. But the Bavarian police became suspicious.

After all, it was the 12-year-old son who told the police the real reason for her private flight to Germany. According to a report in the newspaper Bild-Zeitung, the parents then told how the woman’s father, a strictly religious man, demanded that she and her only seven-year-old daughter be circumcised according to Islamic law. She and her family, however, would refuse to do so, whereupon they were threatened by her own father.The 49-year-old father then said that he had given up all his possessions in northern Iraq and fled with his family to Turkey six days ago. There he found a smuggler who flew his family to Munich at a cost of 60,000 euros – by private jet. The family now asked the German families for asylum and was transferred to a Bavarian refugee reception centre. Investigations were initiated against the smugglers.

An 11-year-old boy was attacked and beaten badly by several youths with a “Southern appearance” on Monday evening in front of the Paderborn Neuhaus Castle, according to Nordrhein Westfalen police.

Police are now investigating suspicions of dangerous bodily harm and are looking for witnesses.

At around 6 p.m. the 11-year-old boy walked from Residenz Street across the castle forecourt in the city where there was a group of youths also present. From this group, the 11-year-old was approached one of the other youths who began beating him. He was then joined by other members of the group.

The victim went down and was further beaten and kicked, resulting in serious injuries. An unidentified cyclist jumped in to stop the beating and the perpetrators fled to Bielefelder Street in the direction of Hatzfelder Platz. The “courageous cyclist” also left the scene, and the badly injured boy fled home. His mother alerted the police and took her son to a hospital, where he was hospitalized. 

The suspects are said to have a southern appearance and were about 1.65 meters tall. One boy was blonde, the others had black hair.

The police asked the unknown cyclist and other witnesses who could provide information about the suspects to call 05251/3060.

Vlaams Belang, the Flemish anti-immigration party, remains at the top of the polls in Flanders. How does one explain the incredible success of Tom Van Grieken’s party?

Tom Van Grieken is the most popular politician on Facebook. Last week, his page passed the milestone of 500 000 likes. He thus far exceeds all other politicians in Belgium. “It’s an interesting medium. We receive feedback directly from people. We know if the message gets through or not,” the leader of Vlaams Belang party, told broadcaster De Zevende dag (VRT), on Sunday.

The tactic is simple: invest en masse in social media to bypass traditional media in order to directly target potential voters. With more than 600 000 followers, Vlaams Belang even manages to have a larger audience on social networks than the Flemish reference audiovisual media, VTM (437 000 followers) and the VRT (390 000 followers).

But why are voters turning to Vlaams Belang? Jan Antonissen, journalist and author of the book De Ontfatsoenlijken, [The Deplorables] points to two elements: inequality and identity. “The difference between people is getting bigger and bigger. More and more people feel excluded from society. They no longer feel at home and feel betrayed by the traditional parties.”

Belgian political scientist, author and columnist Dave Sinardet confirmed this observation to RTBF: “The frustration is still present vis-à-vis the policy of migration, asylum and security. Across Europe, this phenomenon is occurring. We see it with Marine Le Pen in France, Geert Wilders and Thierry Baudet in the Netherlands…”

Also, during the extended period of negotiations to form a new government, which lasted more than 16 months, Vlaams Belang kept repeating that it was necessary to return to the polls for citizens to express themselves. The other parties also did not want new elections, because “the only one who could emerge stronger from a new election is the Vlaams Belang,” Caroline Sägesser, researcher at Crisp had warned.

The party is not limited to social networks either. For example they organized a mass demonstration at Heysel at the end of September where some 10 000 people gathered to claim that the De Croo government was not their government with the hashtag #nietmijnregering.

Thousands of supporters of the Flemish party had expressed their anger in a protest against the government majority coalition set to assume power in response to the political deadlock. Convoys of cars drove into Brussels from cities across northern Belgium after the majority among Flemish parties were not represented in the federal parliament.

The Vivaldi Coalition grouped together the Flemish and Francophone socialists, liberals and greens plus the Flemish Christian democrats in a bid to keep Vlaams Belang out. Belgium went to the polls on 26 May 2019 but has been struggling to form a new federal government ever since.

The polls tell us that Harris/Biden will win easily. Enthusiasm levels tell a different story. Last Thursday, Harris and her vehicle Biden made a less than spectacular appearance here in Phoenix. Fox 10’s Nicole Garcia tried valiantly to make a 4-minute news story out of the sentence, “Biden and Harris came to town, but no one showed up to greet them.”

The Blaze reports:

When a presidential campaign stops in your city just weeks before the election, there is significant fanfare: Droves of supporters and protesters turn out, there is a massive security presence, and national media from most major networks cover the event.

Unless, of course, no one gives a damn.

A news report gaining significant attention online shows KSAZ-TV reporter Nicole Garcia describing a Biden/Harris campaign stop last week in which not a single person was in sight. …

“Pretty much all the people that we saw enter into the parking lot about 45 minutes ago were with the Biden/Harris campaign and the pool reporters,” she explained. “So, you would expect to see — I mean, this is a pretty big event for the two of them to be campaigning together for the first time since the Democratic National Convention. Here in Arizona, our state has established itself as a battleground state, and so this is technically a big event, but not a lot of fanfare.”

Biden and Harris were in Phoenix to meet with Native American tribal leaders at the Heard Museum. They also kicked off their national “Soul of the Nation” bus tour — but no one was there to celebrate with the campaign.

“This is a huge event politically, but you can’t tell,” Garcia went on to say.

To their credit, Democrats don’t seem to like Harris and Biden much.

The spin from the Harris/Biden campaign is that they don’t want anyone to come to their campaign events, because COVID-19.

On Saturday night, a mob attacked the police station at Champigny-sur-Marne in the south-eastern suburbs of Paris with metal bars and firework mortars while trying to break into the building, with the incident sparking fierce debate in France about the breakdown of law and order. 

The mayor and the police prefect of Paris, which is known for its predominately migrant population and a dangerous area for police, have condemned the unprecedented attack, the French news station BFM TVreported.

“We were not far from a disaster,” Mayor Laurent Jeanne commented on the events. 

The French Ministry of the Interior also released a statement saying the attack was aimed at “breaking the symbols of the Republic” and “breaking the police”. 

Video of the massive attack on a police station quickly went viral across social media. 

As two police officers took a cigarette break in front of the station before midnight on Saturday, they saw about 40 people racing towards them. Police managed to lock the building’s security door just in time. Seconds later, the crowd attacked. At first, the thugs tried to break the armored glass of the door with an iron rod and light a fire.

They then fired cannons, rockets, and incendiary projectiles at the police building from the street.

Champion-sur-Marne Mayor Laurent Jeanne on BFMTV condemned the attack, saying “we were not far from a disaster.”

According to him, the attack was prepared and it was an attempt to  “even the score.” Apparently, the attackers blamed the police for a scooter accident a few days ago.

The police prefect of Paris, Didier Lallement, responded to the attack on Twitter, expressing support for the police. The migrant suburb of Paris, Val-de-Marne, where the attack took place, is often considered a no-go zone by authorities. The Republican opposition placed the area among the French territories that the state must regain control of.

According to Valérie Pécresse, head of the Ile-de-France region, “these war scenes are intolerable”.

Several police vehicles and the glass front door of the police station were damaged in the attack. Eight launchers were found nearby. Apparently, the police station was attacked in a similar manner months earlier and once in 2018. No arrests have been made.

The attack on the police station took place several days after three assailants attacked two plainclothes police officers in another suburb of Paris, stole their weapons, shot them multiple times, and seriously injured them. According to the AFP agency, one of the attacked police officers remains in an induced coma in the hospital. 

Police unions called for a protest in front of the Champigny police station scheduled for today. On Tuesday, according to AFP, police trade unions should meet with Minister Darmanin.
