A few days ago, Arman Tatoyan demonstrated with facts how the Azerbaijani armed forces advanced and strengthened their bases in the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia in August 2025.

The uproar started in the official circles. The Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia announced from the podium of the National Assembly: “It is a lie.”

He did not present a counter-argument or publish data. Just made an accusation.

An investigation by independent journalists yesterday actually confirmed the presented facts.

In this situation, the question is no longer about Tatoyan. The question is about how those responsible for the state and those speaking on behalf of the state treat the truth.

Because when the country’s defense minister declares the truth to be a lie from the podium of the parliament, then he is obliged to apologize to the people.

And if we lived in a legal state, the resignation should also follow after that.

Because borders don’t disappear on maps first. They disappear at the moment when officials who are disconnected from reality start denying reality.

And the reality, no matter how much they try to call it a “lie”, one day it comes and stands in front of our door, already as a lost territory.

Suren Papikya, the public is waiting, time has passed.

Trump essentially admitted that US Vice President Vance was against war against Iran. In a conversation with reporters, Trump said that Vance has a “slightly different philosophical” approach to the matter.

Interestingly, Trump acknowledges the difference in Vance’s approach.

I pointed out several times that during these ten days, Vance essentially “dreamed” once, and that was his statement that Trump would not allow ground action.

However, the reason for Vance’s disagreement could also be a so-called “distribution of roles” in the calculation of the 2028 presidential campaign. If Vance is nominated for 202nd, which is a likely scenario, then perhaps his opposition to the Iran war can only be beneficial for Vance. Given Trump’s “free fall” ratings, disagreements with him will only elevate Vance in the eyes of American voters.

Dear opposition community,

I am sure that almost all of you have the same desire: to get rid of these authorities. But it is necessary to understand that only this rash is not enough. Every citizen of Armenia needs unity and street struggle before the elections. Otherwise, CP will falsify your wishes and doesn’t care about each of your votes. In order to keep those votes and to implement them, a broad mobilization and street fight is needed before and after the elections.

Recently, CP was unnecessarily excited by an American IRI poll, in which, according to the data that reached me, the number of those who refused the survey was extremely large. Experts note that a certain part of people usually refuse to participate in this or that survey. In the case of the latest IRI Armenia survey, that number is almost twice as high (the vast majority of callers (10/7) refused to speak at all).

This proves that people live in an atmosphere of fear, disappointment and uncertainty. That people no longer expect anything and have no faith. This indicates that a large part of people is afraid, avoids or considers it pointless to even give their opinion to public opinion polls.

And in this case, who has a guarantee that the government, built on falsehoods and fed on lies, will tolerate the contents of the ballot box after handing over the homeland? Who is the naïve oppositionist who, after eight years of disasters, repression, political prisoners and a divisive atmosphere of hatred, is ready to believe in electoral victory?

It turned out that the way to win the elections goes through the process of expressing no confidence in the Prime Minister with a legal and united struggle.

If CP does not have the post of prime minister after 10 days, it will gather 1.7% of votes in the elections. The picture is almost the same in post-Soviet and Eastern European countries. For us, it’s even scarier.

Ironically, last night, at the very moment when US President Trump’s speech, in which he spoke about the destruction of Iran’s military potential and the victory of his country, was broadcast live on Israeli TV channels, the footage of the same speech featured a running line about the Iranian missile attack.

Footage from Israel this morning shows that the Iranian missile attack caused serious damage in that country, as the Iranian side used heavy missiles with tons of warheads.

Yesterday, the news that another air defense radar inside Israel was out of order as a result of an attack by the Lebanese “Hezballah” is another indicator that the point targeting of Israeli and American air defense radars is a new tactic used by Iran in this war, for which Tehran’s opponents were clearly not prepared.

The Bureau of Auto Insurers of Armenia informs about the key changes implemented in the rules of the insurance system, which will come into force on April 1 of this year.

At the heart of the reforms is a significant increase in insurance amounts (maximum compensation limits), which aims to provide more comprehensive and adequate financial protection for people affected by traffic accidents.

What is changing?

According to the new regulations, the following new compensation thresholds have been established:

In terms of property damage. The limit per person has been increased from the existing 1,800,000 AMD to 2,500,000 AMD.

Personal injury (health and life): The limit per person has been increased from the existing 3,300,000 AMD to 3,500,000 AMD.

At the same time, maintaining the logic of the stability of the system, the limits of the total sums paid to all victims as a result of one accident were also increased, becoming 25,000,000 and 35,000,000 AMD, respectively.

Why is this important?

These changes are one of the phases of the continuous improvement of the APPA system. They will allow more complete reimbursement of the costs caused by accidents, reducing the additional financial burden of citizens and increasing confidence in the insurance system.
