Wake up, Armenians

By Vahe Andonian

Opening the Turkish-Armenian border and bringing goods to Armenia through Azerbaijan are being promoted as “peace” and “progress.”

But don’t be fooled.

These are not steps toward peace …

they are traps, designed to secure Nikol’s hold on power while dismantling our national dignity and sovereignty.

True peace can only begin with recognition, justice, and accountability and reparation …

for the Armenian Genocide, the Sumgait massacres, the ethnic cleansing and uprooting of Artsakh, and the 5,000 Armenian martyrs sacrificed for our homeland.

Peace begins only when Armenian political prisoners held in Baku are released,

and when the 150,000 indigenous Armenians are allowed to return to their ancestral lands in Artsakh …

not when trade routes are opened to enrich our enemies.

Meanwhile, cultural genocide continues in silence —

centuries-old Armenian churches, monuments, and cemeteries are being desecrated and erased, Armenian rugs, artworks, and cultural heritage are being stolen and falsely labeled as “Turkish” or “Azeri.”

This is a continuation of the same war, without bullets, but with the same goal: to erase the Armenian soul.

Calling this “progress” is an insult to our martyrs.

It is not prosperity, it is surrender … a direct path to chaos, dependency, and the Pan-Turkic plan to absorb Armenia under the illusion of “peace.”

Our farmers, our workers, our independence …

all are being sold off piece by piece.

Nikol and his circle are not serving Armenia — they are serving Ankara and Baku.

Wake up, Armenians …

tomorrow may be too late.
