La crise US-Turquie , où va la révolution en Arménie , le nom de domaine avec le .am

A WORD FROM THE EDITORS

Tensions are rising between Turkey and the United States, and perhaps for the first time ever, it's unfolding in the public arena (thanks in no small part to Donald Trump's fixation with Twitter). Read our editorial for a deeper investigation into this phenomenon and a word of caution.

Our op-ed this week, by Dr. Viken Hovsepian gives pragmatic insight into the nature of revolutions and where how they can go wrong. Garen Yegparian's column tells the cautionary tale of Ergonfound and Egofound (Spoiler Alert: Don't be an Egofound… You'll see what we mean), and Raffi Elliott's column comments on a curious facet of modern Armenian life: the .AM domain name.

Happy reading.
