About Armenian News Network - Groong: Week In Review Podcast
Weekly review of Armenian News from https://groong.org. Keeping up with news related to Armenia and Armenians can be challenging; the sheer volume of news in the past few years has increased greatly, and the rise of the “Fake News” phenomenon contributing to the erosion of trust in the news media. The diversity of languages used by the worldwide Armenian community also poses a challenge for Armenian news; there is a significant portion of news that originates in Armenian, sometimes in Russian, and does not get adequately translated into English, or Western Armenian, for those in the Diaspora who are not proficient in Eastern Armenian. Finally, with the COVID-19 pandemic and the political turbulence in countries where significant communities of the Armenian Diaspora reside, be it Syria, Lebanon, the United States, etc., many of our friends and colleagues indicate that they’re simply overloaded with information and lack the time and energy to separate the good from the bad. So we’re creating this weekly digest of news and analysis that we find relevant to share with our friends and the wider ANN/Groong audience. Our goal is to provide a brief overview of the main headlines of the past week, and then cover a smaller set of the more important developments, curated by ANN/Groong editors and contributors who spend an inordinate amount of time daily to process Armenian news. We hope that over time this podcast will help our listeners in becoming more astute consumers of Armenian news. We will strive to provide a rich set of notes with each installation, with links to the most relevant articles and information as a starting point for your further investigation.

Published 8 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] A multimillennial homeland of Armenians is now empty of its indigenous people, just like historic Armenia was depopulated 111 years ago of us indigenous Armenians during the Armenian genocide. Now, this is the reason why Artsakh's cause and their struggle for their rights and justice remains the cause of all of us Armenians of our generation and future generations. So I urge everyone, every Armenian, don't listen to anybody who wants to sell your history and your identity out. Unless you're ready to disown, yeah. I mean, unless you're ready to disown your own mother, your own children, your own family, then, you know, the identity of Artsakh is part of all of our identities. […]
