Meghri: Who, When, and What Was Negotiated, According to State Department Documents

Azatutyun - Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is funded in whole or in part by the American government.

The US State Department has declassified documents that show that in the late 1990s, Robert Kocharyan and Heydar Aliyev had reached an agreement, face to face, without intermediaries, to resolve the Karabakh issue by exchanging territories: Meghri for Karabakh. Secret American cables reveal details that have never been published before.

The original source is the US govt funded news outlet: Fair warning, I have not watched the video. This is a google translate of the title and blurb for the YouTube video.

Hello everyone! I'm a Brazilian guy, from Rio de Janeiro. My great-great parents (one set of them) came to Brazil around the early 1920's (he was born circa 1900, she was born around 1910). They were ethnic Armenians, but their birthplace is listed as "Syria". According to my grandma, who is their granddaughter, her grandfather's lands were taken by someone (either the Turks or the Azeris, but I don't think she knows who exactly) and so they were both forced to emigrate.

Unfortunately they both passed away a long time ago, before I was even born (he died in 1980, she died around 1995, I was born in 2004) so I never got to speak with them. Their only living daughter, my great-aunt, doesn't know much either, as none of their children learned Armenian and I guess her parents never told her about where they lived, all we know is it was a small settlement. Any way I could try to track some documents down? All the ones I found on familysearch are here in Brazil.

u/T-nash had written a very interesting comment on the subject in a related discussion at:

So, I was thinking, what is the reason the Republic struggles to reach the diaspora and organise it?

Obviously, money is a big issue, and if we had unlimited coffers, we could just throw more money at the problem. However, I don't think that this is the only issue. I think that there is, at the diplomatic level, a significant disconnect between Republic Eastern Armenians, and Armenians who have been shaped by life in the diaspora.

I think that we also have an issue of charisma, vision and leadership. There are hardly any people in Armenian politics who are truly visionary, and the kinds of politicians Armenians in the RoA as well as the diaspora could look to as all-Armenian cultural leaders, visionaries and unifiers.

At one point, the Apostolic Church may have played this role, but they have had their chance and with the subordination to Russia and the pervasive corruption they wallow in, they have discredited themselves. There's also the issue that in today's world, I think we are long past clerics and clerical governance as a source of all-Armenian collaboration and coordination. We are largely a religious people, but secular in our everyday lives and political structures.

A lot of Armenian politicians, even the competent ones, don't appear to have vision or a drive towards any form of national revival or reconnection with the diaspora, especially with Western Armenians. I am culturally Eastern Armenian, so perhaps I am overreacting, but it feels like the RoA is less the nation state for all Armenians, including Western Armenians, and more a "brotherly nation" with significant cultural connection, like Norway is to Sweden or something like that.

Why is it that we are such paltry diplomats?
