For decades wanting to lay claim as the only true holocaust victim in modern history in order to forever milk sympathy and guilt from the rest of the world, for its entire 78-years in existence, the Jewish State obstinately refused to recognize the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebsco.com\/research-starters\/history\/armenian-genocide-begins\">Armenian genocide<\/a> (1915-1917 when Turkey massacred and starved 600,000 \u2013 1.5 million Armenian people). The bottom-line is that Israel waited till Sunday June 28<sup>th<\/sup>, 2026 before it self-servingly finally acknowledges the Armenian genocide because at this late hour it sees an additional advantage to befriend Armenia in light of the Jews\u2019 disastrous war against Iran. Knowing that Israel needs all the help it can finagle against the far more powerful and deadly regional power Iran, and with Trump making albeit empty, weak gestures to disengage from the Iran war, Israel appears friendlier to suddenly enhance its relations with Yerevan.<\/p>\n<p>The Netanyahu cabinet unanimously voted for recognition, moving it on to the Knesset. Another relevant factor here are the growing tensions Israel currently shares <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/government-unanimously-recognizes-armenian-genocide-amid-frosty-ties-with-turkey\/?__cf_chl_f_tk=DXWb7aJPgruyFyTTN8vrBHQwiR5LuJhkYwFDJfLYxxI-1782756492-1.0.1.1-6dsf0S9J2uOyI7r_wbIBCG2_IFEgiLjkj0JUG1cOkxc\">with Turkey<\/a>. Just like denier Turkey, last century\u2019s genocidal perpetrator against Armenians, Israel has also been a longtime nation holdout, refusing to formally recognize last century\u2019s first genocide. Waiting a full century after the Armenian genocide ended, the Jewish State is cowardly displaying its selfish, exploitative, true colors as today\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/thegovernmentrag.com\/articles\/another-9-11-incoming-compliments-of-the-most-hated-nation-on-earth-israel\/\">most hated<\/a> genocidal nation on earth.<\/p>\n<p>Under Armenia\u2019s current regime in Yerevan, its dictator Nikol Pashinyan has foolishly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/armenia-withdraw-moscow-dominated-security-alliance-tensions-flare\">rejected<\/a>Armenia\u2019s longstanding security alliance with Russia, instead feebly succumbing to US pressure, electing to embrace the West as its useful idiot vassal. The Jewish State suddenly decided to throw a bone to the Armenians, finally, formally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/06\/28\/israels-government-formally-recognises-the-armenian-genocide-committed-during-world-war-i\">recognizing Armenia<\/a>\u2019s genocide as a nation. Only because Armenia as a current <a href=\"https:\/\/sputnikglobe.com\/20250718\/pashinyan-acts-as-copycat-nato-backed-dictator-and-is-turning-armenia-into-western-vassal--expert-1122455318.html\">Western puppet<\/a>, it has now been deemed by both Israel and the US to be strategically useful. Yet neither nation nor the West have ever assisted Armenia in any real substantial way beyond empty bullshitter promises.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Armenian_population_by_country\">2.7-3 million<\/a> Armenians living in the Republic of Armenia, with the second largest diaspora Armenian Americans (half to 1.5 million) after Russia (1.9-2.5 million), the US has been historically courting and predatorily increasing its sway and influence inside pliable Armenia, especially to gain recent leverage over Armenia\u2019s controversial southern border with Iran. Even longer the US has been attempting to distance and suspend Armenia\u2019s near severed ties to Russia. The narrow 25-mile (42 km) stretch of a shared land border with Iran, known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rferl.org\/a\/us-proposal-zangezur-corridor-iran-influence-caucasus\/33479973.html\">Zangezur Corridor<\/a>, is a current geopolitical hotspot in coveted demand by countries on all sides, literally the anti-Armenian pan-Turkic twins as well as both <a href=\"https:\/\/iranwire.com\/en\/features\/146869-armenia-moves-closer-to-israel-and-us-as-iran-loses-influence-in-south-caucasus\/\">US and Israel<\/a> as backdoor access to their #1 nemesis Iran.<\/p>\n<p>A closed Armenian-Iranian border cuts off both Iran\u2019s strategic land route to the South Caucasus nations as well as closest proximity to perhaps Iran\u2019s most significant, strategic, political and military partner Russia. Neither Iran not Russia is in any way happy about the gifted US influence that especially benefit historic enemies of Armenia \u2013 Turkey and Azerbaijan. Eleven months ago, Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei\u2019s senior advisor <a href=\"https:\/\/thecradle.co\/articles-id\/32195\">Ali Akbar Velayati<\/a>warned that the proposed Zangezur Corridor is a \u201cgeopolitical scheme pursued as a cover for broader projects,\u201d led by US, Israel, NATO and pan-Turkic movements to undermine Iran\u2019s national security. He added:<\/p>\n<p>[The true objective] <em>is to weaken the Resistance Axis, sever Iran\u2019s link with the Caucasus, and impose a land blockade on Iran and Russia in the region\u2019s south.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Armenia\u2019s ancient enclave Artsakh (otherwise known as Nagorno Karabakh) in <a href=\"https:\/\/thegovernmentrag.com\/articles\/another-armenian-ancestral-homeland-lost-crisis-continues\/\">September 2023<\/a> was finally militarily overrun as drone warfare\u2019s first fatality, taken over by Turkic brethren of Azerbaijan, after over three decades of <a href=\"https:\/\/countercurrents.org\/author\/joachim-hagopian\/\">disputed on<\/a> and off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/the-nagorno-karabakh-story-the-us-does-not-want-you-to-know\/5519678?__cf_chl_f_tk=Wl0PvY.jhlfaKl5AJtcT0LHvzRYOZpU6M8MkxrAf7uY-1782744912-1.0.1.1-FvjOAgtwREsdX2iSH.op7YFL1mUWgrqaoz_T6jqrk7g\">war<\/a>. Among all Middle East nations, Azerbaijan is considered Israel\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jns.org\/opinion\/mordechai-kedar\/why-azerbaijan-is-important-for-israels-security\">most important ally<\/a> as largest importer of Israel\u2019s military weapons. In fact, with near half (40%) of Israel\u2019s total oil imports coming from oil-rich Azerbaijan, and 70% of Azeri arms purchased from Israel, it largely explains why Azerbaijan, heavily invested in deploying so many Israeli-made drones <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theinteldrop.org\/2023\/08\/17\/joachim-hagopian-armenian-genocide-redux-a-century-later\/\">by 2023<\/a> that it was able to literally outgun and quickly defeat for the very first time in 30 years the previously highly resistive native Artsakh militia defenders of their ancient homeland.<\/p>\n<p>Also under President Pashinyan\u2019s leadership, for the first time, conspicuously missing in action on the ground in Artsakh were Republic of Armenia\u2019s troops fighting side-by-side with their fellow Armenians in Artsakh. Many Armenians felt deeply betrayed by Pashinyan for not coming to aid Artsakh, concluding that the current leader of Armenia sold out to Azerbaijan. Within a short time after the 2023 war, virtually all the Armenians whose families lived in that ancient enclave for more than a millennium, felt compelled to promptly leave their homeland for the Republic of Armenia via the Lachin Corridor, with virtually no Armenians currently still living in Nagorno Karabakh.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the fate of Artsakh has gone the same route of another ancient, not far away Armenian homeland Nakhichevan. The Azeris destroyed years earlier all the churches and cultural remnants of the thriving Armenian population. While a young <a href=\"https:\/\/countercurrents.org\/2020\/10\/the-case-for-affirming-the-independence-of-the-armenian-republic-of-artsakh-nagorno-karabagh\/\">Josef Stalin<\/a> was placed in charge of the early 1920s Soviet Outer Republics, attempting to expand the young Soviet Empire to entice Turkey, Stalin purposely fixed it so that both separate autonomous Armenian populated territories were legally bound to Azerbaijan as an effective imperialist, divide and rule tactic.<\/p>\n<p>Ambitiously hungry predators Azerbaijan and Turkey are next eyeing more land grab with Armenia\u2019s sliver of a corridor bordering Iran that when confiscated will directly link Turkey and Azerbaijan\u2019s Naxcivan exclave (formerly Armenians\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/persecution.org\/2024\/06\/13\/remembering-the-lost-history-of-nakhchivan-forerunner-of-artsakh\/\">Nakhichevan<\/a>) to the rest of Azerbaijan,\u00a0ultimately aimed at reclaiming a resurrected east-west Turkish Ottoman Empire from Asia Minor to Central Asia and China\u2019s lengthy Belt and Road Initiative. Though for many centuries, Armenians and Persians have maintained cordial relations as friendly neighbors, including the <a href=\"http:\/\/diaspora.gov.am\/en\/pages\/44\/iran\">60-80,000<\/a> Christian Armenians currently residing as citizens within the Islamic Republic of Iran, with Armenia now a bona fide Western puppet, the first Christian state increasingly finds itself precariously in a closing geopolitics vice. One can easily see where all this geopolitics chessboard power-mongering appears fast headed.<\/p>\n<p>Flanked by longtime genocidal Turkic populations on both sides (<a href=\"https:\/\/eurasianet.org\/prospects-of-armenia-turkey-normalization-appear-closer-than-ever\">Turkey\u2019s closed western border<\/a>and Azeris\u2019 closed eastern border) while the escalating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/peaceful-protests-in-armenia-bringing-democracy-or-east-vs-west-showdown\/5638399\">East vs. West<\/a> divide\u2019s growing regional conflict now threatens End Times\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/thegovernmentrag.com\/articles\/in-satans-upside-down-world-west-are-goods-guys-and-east-are-demonized-bad-guy-enemies\/\">WWIII Armageddon<\/a>, Armenia sits at the geographical crossroads of a potential new warfront opening up that at any time could break out. Armenia appears to be perilously aligning itself with the weaker, far more reckless and unstable US\/Israel Western faction already in <a href=\"https:\/\/thegovernmentrag.com\/articles\/us-western-civilizational-collapse-is-no-miscalculation-but-purely-by-deliberate-demonic-design\/\">steep civilizational<\/a> as well as economic decline versus the rising multipolar Eastern powers Iran, Russia and China.<\/p>\n<p>After arresting and imprisoning the <a href=\"https:\/\/sovereignty.com.br\/culture-identity\/armenia-between-religious-repression-and-foreign-interests\/\">top leader<\/a> of the revered Armenian Apostolic Church, Pashinyan is clearly interfering in internal church affairs with total disregard for religious autonomy, needlessly, ominously leading this small landlocked, highly religious nation into an oppressive danger zone. Again, Pashinyan is a deleterious sellout to Armenia\u2019s open enemy dictatorships in both Ilham Aliyev in Azerbaijan and Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan in Turkey, running in parallel process with his own repressive leanings, paranoid of church leaders plotting behind his back. Armenia is currently embroiled in tremendous pressure and derision from both within the nation and culture as well as the larger, stronger geopolitical forces vying for control over Armenia, surrounded in destabilizing tension and conflict with a fragile economy.<\/p>\n<p>Somehow <a href=\"https:\/\/keghart.org\/davidian-pm-stay-in-power-alive\/\">Pashinyan<\/a> has managed to survive a polarizing eight-year presidency as the central figure embroiled in subversion and subterfuge. His leaning over backwards to not offend his genocidal neighbors to this Armenian shows a weak character willing to vacillate with whichever way the wind blows, a spongelike go-along-to-get-along, spineless traitor to the Armenian cause. The future of this proud nation and people appears imminently in the crosshairs of a widening World War III, no help from its current near decade long leader.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><b>Joachim Hagopian<\/b>\u00a0is a West Point graduate, former Army officer and author of \u201cDon\u2019t Let the Bastards Getcha Down\u201d exposing a faulty US military leadership system based on ticket\u00a0punching up the seniority ladder, invariably weeding out the best and brightest, leaving mediocrity and order followers rising to the top as politician-bureaucrat generals designated to lose every modern US war by elite design.
