Richard Manoogian, the chairman emeritus of Livonia-based Masco Corp., an art collector, and a philanthropist died on Friday, Sept. 25, at age 90.

Manoogian spent over five decades at Masco, a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded home improvement and building products. The son of Masco's founder, he was the architect of the company's "dramatic growth," the company said in a press release.

Manoogian, a resident of Grosse Pointe Park, was also an avid art collector and active in numerous civic, cultural, charitable and educational organizations.

Manoogian was the son of Alex and Marie Manoogian, Armenian immigrants. Alex Manoogian was the founder of Masco and brought to market the single-handle Delta faucet.

The family's name is widely associated with the city because his father donated the Manoogian Mansion to the City of Detroit in 1965 to serve as the home of the city's mayor.

That was an excerpt from the article below.

They published an editorial that Nikol is leading the destruction of the Armenian nation and people. Here is the exact title:

> Is It Inadvertent that the Civil Contract Regime’s Plans Lead to the Complete Destruction of the National Character of the Armenian People and Homeland?

Ridiculous. And makes one wonder where this editorial was when Kocharyan and Sargsyan were in power, and actually robbing the nation blind while driving massive emigration out of the country?

Here's the pathetic editorial that tries to back up the title, and fails miserably:
