How we got here as a nation?

Seeing the cynical behaviour of our people, and especially our political class, lately, I am almost convinced that we as a nation deserve to disappear. It's simple Darwinism applied to a nation: we are small in numbers, limited in resources, kind of isolated from friendly nations, but we are also the ones who choose Nikol from among ourselves: a hypocrite, a serial liar, a glutton, without any principles, red lines or dignity. And sometimes I ask myself: how did we get here? Was it always like this, or is it because of the deliberate and consistent efforts of our enemies to corrupt our nation (by using social psychology techniques)? Given some shameful episodes in our history, like the handover of Kars without a fight and the actions of Bolshevik "Armenians" during the same period, sometimes I think that yes, we deserve to disappear and become Mustafas and Altuns in the next generations. But then I come across that video of Robert Abajian fighting, and I feel proud that despite all the viruses in our nation, the Armenian womb is still able to carry the highest form of existence, and the fact that we are still here is not an accident.

Even though we elect Nikol as our leader, I am sure no one will name their child "Nikol" for generations to come, and our grandchildren will speak of him and his people as we speak of the Bolsheviks.

Please watch the last part of the video so you know what I mean.

P.S. Thanks to Eric Hacobian for doing this great work. We don't have many journalists who have any dignity.

P.S. I am not surprised by the government removing pictures of our heroes. Even though I think it's a direct order from Aliyev (as part of "denazification"), these heroes are also archetypal enemies of QP: people who value them cannot choose Nikol.

My latest side project: highlight a foreign price and see it in your currency

I built xchange, a Chrome extension with one simple interaction: select a price on a webpage, and its converted value appears next to your selection.

The idea is to make comparing foreign prices less disruptive—no copying amounts into a separate converter.

Chrome Web Store link

I'm looking for feedback on the interaction. Would highlighting prices fit how you browse, or would you prefer automatic conversion across the page?

Azerbaijani cultural appropriation in Gandzadar and Dadivank

What a humiliation to see Hajiyev walking in Gandzasar and Dadivank with bunch of ignorant or perhaps corrupted diplomats.
For the context he is presenting all of it as Caucasian Albanian heritage of Azerbaijan 🤡
I saw on one of video of them all of them looking to gravestone with Armenian letters on it, and nobody mentioning that it is Armenian.

Of course, this is not damaging the peace process, but if our duxov government says a word that will certainly damage it.

Jeenly - generate the app you need in minutes, without a code

I’m building Jeenly, a personal workshop for creating small, useful tools without writing code.

You describe what you need: a tracker, planner, checklist, food recipe generator, or something specific to your routine and Jeenly creates a working tool for you. You can use it immediately, request changes in plain language, restore earlier versions, and keep it in your private collection.

The idea came from repeatedly needing tiny, personal apps that were too specific to download and too small to justify building from scratch.

You can create tools that can access public apis, llm and storage to save data. More capabilities, like scheduler, notifications are coming!

I’d especially appreciate feedback on two things:

- Does the concept make sense immediately?

- If not what pivot would you suggest?

Is this even legal?

I bought a pomegranate juice and it turns out it has anything but pomegranate 😄
Well just 15% of pomegranate out of all concentrate.

I hate this brand now

EDIT:
As a summary: yes, it’s legal since it’s a fruitdrink and not a juice as stated somewhere in the package with tiny letters.
Although it’s legal, but I think this kind of marketing is unethical.
I am glad that it’s get flagged and more people are aware of this!

Seeking for advise regarding publishing my app

Hi everyone!

I made an app which kinda generates mini apps in some isolated sandboxes, so does not directly access platform, but trough the app. The idea is that non-engineering people will be able to make some small interfaces for their particular use case.

Do you have any particular experience with publishing that kind of apps, and can share? Or any tips to share?

Exclave villages to be addressed as part of Azerbaijan–Armenia delimitation process - Bayramov

Here we go,

>Exclave villages to be addressed as part of Azerbaijan–Armenia delimitation process

If we hand over any "exclave" in Tavush that will be the end of sovereignty, even if they discuss the Arstvashen.

And Bayramov specifically mentioned that it's gonna be from North to South.

My thinking is the Nikol will start propoganda campaign about "dzhguyn u djbakht" villages with Azerbaijani names (Another Overton window), but also they will imply that Artsvashen issue is on table.

Of course by the time delimitation will reach Artsvashen, we suddenly would continue delimiting from Nakhijevan border (guess why).

Israel recognition of Armenian Genocide

There is a lot of talks about whether it is ethical or not that Israel recognized the Genocide right now. There are opinions that they are hypocrites, they are doing genocide right now, etc.

Amongst the countries that are recognized, there is no single country that did recognition based on interests of Republic Armenia. When you are an average French and went for election, would expect that your elected president will do anything that harm you economically, let's say by recognizing the Genocide of Circassians or Ingushes in Russian Empire?

We think that we are unique, but there were dozens of massacres and genocides happened during 20th century (also in 21st), and no leader is expected to recognize them all in cost of their own people. And if they do they would do it to use it as a weapon (exactly as Pashinyan named that). Even Holocaust was used as weapon to pacify and denazify Germans: and the question is whether we can use that weapon in our own interest.

People suddenly feel pride with the response of Pashinyan to the Israeli recognition, now think about for a second: Do you expect a different response, if tomorrow Saudi Arabia recognizes it?

The response means one thing: We are aligned with Turkey on the issue of the Armenian Genocide.

P.S. Society can still condemn Israel for being genocidal state, for being hypocrites or simply for having bloodthirsty leadership. But this was not response that I expect form the Armenian leadership.

The analysis of US-Iran war, perfectly applicable to Armenia-Azerbaijan case

https://youtu.be/7LKHtsVnn00?si=N3v35XRRWxDJGCrA

Commitment Sequencing Combined with First-Mover advantage

If you can control the order in which obligations are fulfilled, you control entire game. Below is the list of Azerbaijani demands and some of them already executed.

  1. Withdrawal of Armenian forces from Artsakh
  2. Delimitation of the areas where we were in a better position
  3. Zangezur corridor
  4. Waiving all claims against Azerbaijan in international courts
  5. The right of Azerbaijanis to settle in Armenia
  6. Transfer of enclaves

Peace agreement

This is what Aliyev has in mind, and it completely fits into narrative of "denazification of Armenians" brought up by Aliyev earlier.

It's worth to mention that after executing all of the point, We are becoming complete failed state without any sovereignty.

Save the Armenian democracy in Reddit

It's not a secret anymore that r/armenia sub is heavily biased about Politics in Armenia and freedom of speech is surpassed. Dozen of people are banned from the community just for speaking up about this. This sub will be used as a safe place to discuss Armenian politics, the future and the past.
