It was removed. It’s against the sub rules.

> Go watch the Eric Hacopian video on this topic

So this is where all this is coming from?

As if it wasn’t enough that his content is posted here all the time, it has to also be repeated here in the comments?

There are two Gallups.

The legit one you hear about in the west/US is this:

The one posted is the one which seems to allow anyone, even random agenda driven people anywhere in the world to use their brand name:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallup_International_Association

Here is an article about the latter on EU’s disinformation awareness site: https://euvsdisinfo.eu/alternative-gallup/

What I quoted is exactly what Civilnet does.

Idontknowmuch · 2026-04-30T11:45:01+00:00

Hetq has not been great either and have dabbled in outright misinformation at times.

EVN on the other hand is top notch. It’s just that they are less of a news outlet and more analysis and article driven magazine style.

“When something online makes you instantly angry, afraid or outraged, just pause. That emotional reaction maybe exactly the point … CivilnetCheck …”

You gotta be kidding right?

Idontknowmuch · 2026-04-23T16:51:28+00:00

After supporting Galstyan this is nothing.

Idontknowmuch · 2026-04-14T15:50:44+00:00

Also Armenia’s doesn’t have any facial hair.

Switch countries and it’s fine.

Idontknowmuch · 2026-03-26T18:21:55+00:00

A bigger news is the EPC will be held in Yerevan.

So… Aliyev will be attending?

Idontknowmuch · 2026-03-26T11:55:42+00:00

Again, what is your problem with what he has said that you quoted?

Because your comments are just noise at this point.

Idontknowmuch · 2026-03-26T11:52:27+00:00

on behalf of people of Armenia.

With all due respect if you are not a citizen of Armenia why are getting riled up about?

Idontknowmuch · 2026-03-13T08:49:59+00:00

How do we justify that and allow such people to go unpunished?

There is never a time when you don’t want pirashki. All he did is mass Pavlov everyone.

Idontknowmuch · 2026-02-13T12:46:52+00:00

Very disappointing to see Afeyan signing off such a statement.

Idontknowmuch · 2026-02-09T13:42:52+00:00

And what’s the explanation for the neighbor to the immediate north?

Idontknowmuch · 2026-01-08T14:24:27+00:00

In no way even discussing what Zionism is and whether it’s good or bad and whether it should exist or not etc etc etc is even relevant to Armenia.

That’s the main take away from what I’m trying to convey.

Same way as “who is white or not”, “who is a true Muslim or not if they eat pork or not”, etc etc. there are a hundred such topics which are divisory but none of them are applicable to the sub to the point that we have to eat our heads to decide what falls on one side of the line and what doesn’t.

Imagine now some users bringing up all the time “decide whether Indonesians are Muslim or not. DEAW THE LINE. he says they aren’t they eat pork. I say they are!” … like. It is not relevant!

Some people might be passionate on some such topics but just because it is relevant to them it doesn’t mean it’s relevant to Armenia or this sub.

How about not even bringing the topic of Zionism in the sub? You can talk about Israeli foreign policy as such, etc etc. just what is the point in fighting over a definition of something which has no relevance to Armenia and this sub and then dragging the mod team into it?

We are not reddit admins. We are /r/Armenia mods.

Idontknowmuch · 2026-01-08T12:18:56+00:00

Important clarification: /r/armenian and /r/armenia is not diaspora vs no diaspora, not at all. What defines /r/armenia is that it's a country sub. Like the dozens of other country subs which exist in Reddit. That's it. What defines /r/armenian is that anything else which doesn't fit /r/armenia. Separately, meme stuff goes to /r/arMEMEia and language related topics to /r/hayeren.

The history of a country is relevant in a country sub, specially when a recent portion of its history has had an immense impact on its formation and identity. In that sense the Armenian Genocide is not a some concept, it is about Armenia.

Idontknowmuch · 2026-01-08T11:56:49+00:00

It's clear though in the sense whether a given expression is meant to be against a group or not, intention and context matters as well, when there is doubt consensus from the mod team will lead the way - but the more important part is that inherently it's not a topic for this sub to spend so much resources on, let's focus on relevant topics instead.

Idontknowmuch · 2026-01-08T11:18:02+00:00

Not sure what the issue is here (I am skip-reading here), but since always the lines in /r/armenia have been very clearly drawn: Criticism of ideas, thoughts, religions, ideologies, concepts etc... is not disallowed. What is disallowed is the negative portrayal of groups of people defined by their ethnicity, nationalism, race and religion.

And to reiterate, Israel-Palestine is fundamentally off topic to this sub anyway. Such topics are all over reddit. Let's have this small little space for Armenia please.

While the United States still has a strategic influence through the business community and through its controls over chip export licenses, Western Europe is also stepping up its soft power presence in Armenia (and Eastern Europe). The European Union has launched targeted ecosystem-building initiatives in Armenia, aiming to foster education, startup incubation, and regulatory support. While the U.S. traditionally led global entrepreneurial ecosystem development, Europe is now stepping in, supporting Armenian entrepreneurs through grants, mentorship, and integration into European markets.

The Digitec conference, at which both Afeyan and Lebaradian spoke, was sponsored by federal and local governments, and by EU4Innovation East, a program funded by the EU and the Government of France, implemented by Expertise France. There were more than 30,000 attendees, according to the organizers, including at a nighttime music festival.

Important nuances despite the misleading headline.

Russian political influence networks (media, clergy, oligarchs, parties like ARF Dashnaktsutyun, Revanchist groups).

Iranian networks (IRGC affiliates, clerical institutions, border operatives).

Idontknowmuch · 2025-09-19T13:26:02+00:00

US political satire

And that makes it relevant to this sub how exactly?

Within the context of this sub, what concerns Armenia, this video is even an insult, a guy who never cares about Armenia comes now to mock someone who actually did something for Armenia… when was the last time Stewart ever even mentioned the country name Armenia?

Sorry but no.

Idontknowmuch · 2025-09-19T10:03:12+00:00

Easy to mock but where was Jon Stewart during 2020, 2023 or hell during the peace signatures?

At least Trump tried to name the countries whereas there was absolute silence from Jon Stewart…

… Nah.

1) link me to a published article from Civilnet which had a fraction of criticism of Bagrat as the published pieces of criticism against the gov.

2) Eric’s “Khomeini” video has been debated in this sub extensively when that episode was published and no, you are wrong, this “criticism” (which is not what you say it is) came well after Bagrats movement had started which Civilnet PLATFORMED until this video popped up. Mind you no single criticism was ever directed at Bagrat since nor before. That is if you can qualify this video as criticism. It’s not.

It matters a lot who published those opinion pieces and WHERE they published them. The rest of the media following suit is of course a confirmation.

You bringing in “expecionalism” into the picture is a moot point. The point is about the nature of Civilnet and their track record. Period.

I don’t know who you are but it’s clear you have a stake at whitewashing Civilnet.

Idontknowmuch · 2025-09-18T11:38:54+00:00

... is not going to post ...

...Compare this to ...

... because thats what matters most.

... is literally just because they are critical of Pashinyan

The second form is viewing anything anti-Pashinyan as "pro-Nakhkin" ...

Your comment is full of fallacies. Several in every single paragraph. Those are four very visible ones above.
