Conversations on Groong - September 5, 2025

In this episode of Conversations on Groong, we speak with Lenna Hovanessian of the ANC-Western Region about the aftermath of the August 8 White House meeting between Pashinyan, Aliyev, and Trump. The discussion examines what was left out of the agreements, including Artsakh’s right of return, the release of hostages, and cultural heritage protections, while highlighting the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group and the waiver of Section 907 for U.S. arms sales to Azerbaijan. We also explore strained diaspora–Armenia relations, Pashinyan’s retreat from Genocide recognition, and Azerbaijan’s lobbying playbook, including the bribery charges against Congressman Henry Cuellar, where the ANCA is pressing for Armenian Americans to be recognized as victims.

Topics:

  • Reflections on August 8 White House Meeting
  • Tough Times for DIaspora-Armenia Relations
  • Challenges to Armenian American Advocacy

Guest: Lenna Hovanessian
