27. Armenia: Can She Be Saved?

This week Simone Rizkallah and James O’Reilly are joined by Matias Perttula and Dan Harre of Save Armenia to discuss the recent and ongoing events in Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia, as well as the history and importance of the Armenian people.

Matias Perttula is the Director of Save Armenia. Previously, Perttula served as the Director of the Center for American Values at the America First Policy Institute. Perttula completed his master’s in business administration in 2013 at Southeastern University and was named the most outstanding graduate of his class. Perttula completed his bachelor’s degree in political science and history at the University of California, Los Angeles. He also studied at the Harvard Extension School in International Security Studies.

Dan Harre is the Deputy Director of Save Armenia. Before joining Save Armenia, Dan served as the Leadership Network Associate at The Philos Project. He is a graduate of Regent University’s Robertson School of Government where he earned an M.A. in National Security Studies with an emphasis in Middle East Politics. Prior to attending Regent, he worked as the Statewide Field Director on Josh Hawley’s 2016 attorney general campaign, and as a staff assistant for U.S. Senator Roy Blunt.

Save Armenia exists to rally support for the oldest Christian nation in the world and to ensure its continued survival and flourishing. We accomplish this mission by rallying leaders across the spectrum of Christian and Jewish communities, as well as conservative leaders on Capitol Hill, to ensure that Armenian Christians have a voice!
