With the Armenian–Azerbaijani peace initiative meeting planned this Friday at the White House, the stakes for Armenia, the first nation to adopt Christianity as its religion in 301 A.D., cannot be any higher. The country is facing total annihilation at the hands of its Muslim neighbors, interested in recreating the Ottoman Empire and its own incompetent leadership.

After enduring numerous assaults on its sovereignty and people, we are told the “peace agreement” will demand even further concessions of Armenia, by Azerbaijan and Turkey, the self-proclaimed “two countries, one nation.” Preeminent among the expected concessions are forcing Armenia to forfeit Nagorno-Karabakh and the “right of return” of its residents to their ancestral homeland and to surrender control of the so-called “Zangezur corridor,” part of sovereign Armenia.
