  • 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!

How the war with Iran is rewriting the Middle East’s energy future
Q: What is the current state of Iran's gas industry and its potential to become a major global supplier if sanctions ease?

Preliminary analysis shows three main forces crossed the threshold, with the Civil Contract party maintaining a majority or workable coalition context, while opposition blocs gain seats; this implies a need for cooperation with the opposition to advance key reforms.
Rethinking journalism across Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus
Q: What is the end goal of this three-year project for regional audiences?
