  1. I don’t think it’s going to change people’s minds. People will vote for whomever they want to vote for.
    Doesn’t Trump have business in Turkey and Azerbaijan?

    Of course he would. His cultists are literal Nazis and most of us Armenians live in blue states like California and New York.

  3. Trump is perceived right for America not Armenia. Armenians have every right to dislike him for that fact alone.

    People are going to vote for perceived interest at home not how it will affect the country of Armenia 10 thousand miles away. Same idea in reverse, Armenians of Armenia cant say what Armenians the US should do because you dont live here

    Third note, we dont have enough Armenians to sway an election. EVERY single Armenian could vote for trump and California would still be blue

    Tdlr this is an irrelevant conflict or discussion point

  4. Couldn’t care less about Trump, Republicans, Democrats, etc. Wise enough to know virtually all of them are scumbag politicians, that don’t care for their own constituents let alone Armenians.

    Armenian Genocide recognition has everything to do with pressuring Turkey, and nothing to do with any sort of justice for us. Genocide recognition means federal legislature, not some old man reading off a teleprompter. Reagan called it ‘genocide’ in 1981, so Biden isn’t the first.

    Democrats had control of the House and Senate early in Obama’s first term. All the ‘pro-Armenian’ people were there: Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Samantha Power, etc. Yet, they didn’t even pass a resolution in the House or Senate. Trump was the only president with the ability to sign an Armenian Genocide recognition bill into law and didn’t. It was the only time it ever passed the House or Senate. Turkey was going wild and that’s the only reason it got that far.

    Some want to split hairs over who sent aid to Azerbaijan to prove some political narrative. Turkish dictators should not be getting *any* U.S. taxpayer money, period. Combined, the U.S. has given more money to Turkey and Azerbaijan than Armenia. Both Republican and Democrat admins. helped turn Erdogan and Aliyev into what they are today. They both took the oil and caviar diplomacy.

    Some believe Armenia’s fate is tied to who the U.S. president is. If one believes that, it would mean Armenia has way bigger problems than who POTUS is.

    Some are so set in their political beliefs that the words of a bloodthirsty tyrant (Erdogan) are believed to be true.

    Posted this to remind everyone here that ignorance is a weapon of mass destruction (and distraction).

    This is meaningless to anyone but Armenia. The United States officially did not recognize the Armenian Genocide as a genocide until 2019, when it got pissed at Turkey for its insurgence in Syria after the US was attempting withdrawal. Trump admin wanted out of Syria entirely, which required negotiations with Turkey, who wanted in.

    Trump doesn’t give a shit about the Armenian Genocide, he was continuing the prior century of the United State’s recognition of the event probably because he felt it would put him in a better position to buttering up Erdogan.

    Meanwhile, the US congress and senate wanted to continue a presence in Syria to counter Turkey, which is why they were actively finding ways to insult Turkey.

    If Armenians keep voting for the Democratic Party, then the Democratic Party will not do anything for the Armenians. Part of the reason why the Democratic Party pushed forward the Armenian Genocide resolution may be that some Armenians began to turn to the Republican Party, forcing the Democratic Party to start taking more measures to please Armenian voters.

    Trumps friends: putin, erdogan, orban, Netanyahu all strong men who desire authoritarianism. He is very bad for everyone in Europe except for the mentioned “strong men” and their cronies.
