Occupying the agenda for a long time with the war in Syria and operations in the region, Al-Bab was literally a death destination for Armenians who had been exiled from their homeland in 1915. Researcher Khatchig Mouradian, visiting professor at Columbia University, is writing an article on those times and shared an excerpt from it with Agos readers.

The issue of constructing a pipeline in Standing Rock, which is significant for Native Americans, has been on the agenda of the US for a while. As a result of the resistance of many Americans, especially Natives, the project is canceled by Barack Obama. Prominent figures of the Armenian Diaspora also supported the resistance. Academic and activist Khatchig Mouradian, the leading figure in initiating American Armenians' support, assessed the developments.
