  • Reliable source of Armenian news

    Good source of Armenian news. I tune in to listen to Eric Hacopian and Georgi Derluguian. Very sound and logical analysis without empty nationalist chest-pounding. I am happy they added podcast episodes in Russian and English for those who don’t speak Armenian. Keep it up!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

COP17 Armenia: Big Promises, but Will Countries Deliver?
Q: Why is Armenia important for biodiversity specifically, and could COP17 bring more investment in nature protection there?
Najam points to Armenia's Persian leopard, geography, lakes, species and ecosystems. He hopes the conference leaves partnerships, investment, capacity building and lasting momentum for conservation.
COP17 Armenia: Big Promises, but Will Countries Deliver?
Q: What needs to happen at COP17 particularly to turn these commitments into real action?
Najam says commitments must move beyond reaffirmation into fast, large-scale action. Existing approaches can work, but governments need to scale them and recognize that human well-being depends on nature.
Leading with mind and heart in an age of AI
Q: So first question is, what in your opinion could we expect in a world or the next five years in this world of AGI? And how is AUA preparing its students for a job market that may be completely different by the time they graduate?
AI is changing rapidly but has not yet achieved AGI; universities should focus on teaching foundational knowledge and critical thinking that AI cannot easily replicate, delivered in a guided, interactive setting to complement AI tools.
Russia, Ukraine and the future of warfare
Q: In Armenia's hypothetical 15-year deterrence plan, what are the two core components to deter aggression and impose costs?
Effective deterrence by denial through capable defenses, plus the ability to inflict significant costs via long-range strikes if conflict occurs, ensuring that the political leadership weighs costs and benefits before engaging.
Russia, Ukraine and the future of warfare
Q: What is the practical difference between warfare today and warfare in the past, particularly regarding drones and logistics?
Drones expand reach and tempo, but they do not replace boots on the ground; the force must be organized to exploit drones at scale, with coherent logistics, leadership, and joint effects to actually take territory.
