  • 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.

The numbers behind Armenia's election results
Q: What is the current composition of the new National Assembly and what does it mean for the ruling party?
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?
To produce a regional, human-centered European media sphere where stories reflect shared realities while remaining rooted in local context and credible reporting.
Rethinking journalism across Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus
Q: How does Seizing Synergies handle the challenge of differing media environments and languages?
Through a structured network with an expert pool, bi-weekly pitch meetings, and regular offline gatherings that build trust and enable smooth collaboration across outlets.
Rethinking journalism across Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus
Q: Why is cross-border journalism essential in this region now?
Because audiences benefit from local voices and nuanced context, and journalists can counter misinformation with collaborative sourcing and shared perspectives across borders.
Why Armenia lost the 2020 Karabakh War
Q: Let's start with a broad question. Why these two books and what purposes does each one serve?
They are part of the same research effort to understand and document the 2020 war, with the first book documenting known causes, events, and consequences, and the second offering a deeper, interview-based reconstruction of how and why the defeat happened, including political, military, and societal factors.
