  1. Villains!

    Catholicos Karekin II is a villain according to your website? 
    Any explanation for this? 

  2. Republican Party of Armenia

    A reader from Armenia writes, "Villains – you missed the Republican Party in Armenia.  Doing everything they can – including collaborating with Russia, corrupt oligarchs, and criminals –  to undermine the popular and democratically elected government of Armenia. 

    BTW – happy to see vehapar in the villain list."

     

  3. Israeli Jewish “prostitute” Journalists

    All those "prostitute" Israeli "journalists" on the payroll of the Turkish & Azeri states similar to Nurit Greenger, Jacob Kamaras, Alexander Murinson, Israel Barouk, Arye Gut, Samuel Rahmani, Justin Amler, Lloyd Green, Jason Katz, Marcia Bronstein, Eugen Iladi, Neil Richards, Peter Tase, Maxime Gauin, Milikh Yevdayev should be on the list of Villains.

    1. Israeli/Jewish “presstitutes”

      Dear Vartan, as the editors of Keghart point out in the Heroes & Villains 2019 article, there are far too many such propagandists to name each one personally. Even so, you may visit the ARMENIAN HALL OF SHAME on Armeniapedia to see a running list of offenders.

      1. Jewish “prostitute” Journalists

        Dear Lucin,

        Thank you for your suggestion.However,I'm concentrating specifically on Jewish/Israeli so called "prostitute/presstitutes or even pestitude" journalists & always wondering why they are mostly of Jewish/Israeli origin, when Armenia & Armenians worldwide have accepted the Holocaust without any strings attached ( unlike Israel & such low scums who will be part of history's garbage).

        From Armenian Hall of Shame the following names are missing: Nurit Greenger, Samuel Rahmani, Marcia Bronstein, Eugen Iladi & it needs to be updated.

        1. Presstitutes, cont’d
          Sireli Vartan,

          If you inspect the list closely, you will see that a motherlode of Israeli/Jewish propagandists are already in the Hall of Shame, including Nurit Greenger and Marcia Bronstein.

          Please show me an article by Ramani (this is the correct spelling of his name) that is blatantly anti-Armenian as none I have read are such. We will re-investigate Eugen Iladi — as his name was not popping up earlier in web searches.

          We are glad to add such names to the Hall of Shame if we can ascertain that they are "presstitutes."

          Thank you.

          Best,
          Lusin
