What a great interview I have tremendous respect for professor Georgi Derlugian and the host, I wish they were on every week.

couldn't agree more. Always insightful and thoughtful discussion. May it become a reality...

Thanks for the fantastic interview

It is us that will keep this beautiful nation succeeding at end. We will do it by pushing the ruling elite in the right direction.

Thank you...

from his study/article...The Hittite cuneiform inscriptions mentions some of the notable Armenian Gods and Goddesses that made up the Armenian pantheon of Gods in the Mitanni Kingdom. The Hittite king Suppiluliuma (reigned between 1344 to 1322 BCE) ordered the recording of a peace treaty between himself and the Armenian king Šattivaz (reigned ca. 1350-1320 BCE), who represented the Hittite and Armenian kingdoms respectively. Suppiluliuma swears upon the great deities of Armenia and specifically calls upon Mithra to bless and protect the treaty of friendship and peace between the kingdoms of Hatti and Mitanni.As was noted, this treaty was made in the 14th century BCE, and this is the earliest recorded inscription that mentions Mithra as one of the supreme Gods of Armenia. This is roughly one thousand years before the God Mithra is mentioned in the Iranian inscriptions and the Indian Vedas...see below...

Excellent! I feel proud of my profession now - sociology!

What an eye opening interview

Clear and educational, as usual. Thank you!

I can listen to this man for hours

Taxi driver explanation was a very creative expression and the drivers actually know a good deal more then the average, having the honor of speaking to all kinds of people; They also speak to their fellow drivers buddies who too have heard more then the barber... Thanks for a good job..I learned from it...thx again..

Very well

Despite his heavy accent, Georgi makes many great points and observations in a unemotional manner. I appreciate having fellow Armenians such as these men who care enough about Armenia to do something about it. I very much agree that without Armenia the diaspora is doomed, the problem i see is that many diasporans do not see this. Since they think Armenian culture will continue despite the loss of a homeland..they do not see the value of developing and defending Armenia. They are wrong but as we have seen many times, right and wrong get trumped by feelings and emotions.

A rambling, investigative, very personal, hopeful, patchwork of observations, facts, futurism and opinions. Compulsory listening.

did you say international law ?

now it is fact he became an imperialist, one wonders how he wrote those books on Caucasian sociology

Love for my country is forever

23:08 wait a sec, talking about IT salaries compared to associate professor somewhere in the USA. First, probably that was your not the only income (there is always some side research, contract and so on), second the other private specialists were getting even more. But still all these High salary people are few compared to army of low salary people plus these with no job/salary So most people either getting money transfers or just scared to try change something in fear not to lose anything, plus Govt gets bumper credits to smooth hardship

Как приятно слушать грамотных людей!

30:32 let me argue again, violence yes, corruption yes but the answer to your rhetorical question is all the impressive world class restaurants supermarkets were built before 2018 also ther was a very strong army that just needed united society but which was ruined after 2018

And why didn't the USA send tanks to Artsakh?

👍

since year one of Christianity we Armenians were NOT able to govern ourselves, and unfortunately it still continues, that is the reality, unless we accept it, we won't be able to have a normal country. over 22 political parties, what does it tells us? and you know rest of the history.

Perhaps thinking along the lines of "territorial" states, such as those which require different laws in Australia. As for military, videos can have more potential than bullets. The borders could be more effectively protected by digital surveillance than invest into the arms departments... Great discussion, lots of truths said.

the main problem with armenians is that we are very individualistic. individualism and nationalism or patriotism dont go hand in hand! cant build a strong nation as a result! as much as i love armenia we armenians are doomed to fail as a nation becuase we would still choose individualism over nationalism! the best thing we can do is rent all armenia for some other country as we sit back and take the monthly fee lol!

Armenia wanted to fight during and before the war. After the war, they lost all appetite for it. Defeat changes preferences.

Starting from 41:50 about the nation army, the militias, the necessity to have a modern defense system based on the mass participation of the people, etc is a great idea, a little late, but a must. The problem is that there is an significant and influential part of the elite, especially within the current administration, that considers that Armenia's best guarantee of defense is its indefensibility, that spending on military is a waste of money and that Armenian society should move away from militarization. It's a respectful point of view that we may disagree with, but a point view nevertheless. People thinking that way (including the secretary of national security, the Premier himself and many others) should have the courage to voice, structure, and present their vision transparently to the people. Armen Grigoryan did that in 2018, when he cancelled the nation-army concept pushed forward by Vigen Sargsyan. I disagree with Armen but appreciated his honesty at the time, the balls to basically say: "Armenia doesn't need additional defense spending, and the regular Army is enough to defend us" (2020 showed it wasn't). My impression is that this administration doesn't have the courage to present its 'demilitarized Armenia' vision to the people, fearing to lose their support. Instead, it pushes its vision silently and under the cover of catching the Sashiks, Robiks, and Serjiks of this world ... and that naturally offers them an ocean of support from the population, or as they say a carte blanche, to do whatever they want with the country ... as long as Sashik's 50 is returned to the people!

Can anyone clearly say, what international law declare as territorial integrity of the Armenia? Where our borders start and where they end, everyone use this question as a subject for bargaining? Can we have our own sea ports on Black Sea for not being dependent from turkey or anyone else, what is not a territorial question and is more question of national security including economy and logistics. Turkish government is never going to give a compromise to Armenia, there are no even intentions in this way so they do not have any will to solve the problem, preferring populism, time waste, false talks for hiding an Armenian issue.
