Pashinyan attacked Karabakh officials with criticism, demanding "not to stick their nose" in politics

Yerevan November 27

Marianna Mkrtchyan. Acting Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan attacked Karabakh officials, who sharply responded to the statement by member of Pashinyan's "My Step" election bloc Sasun Mikayelyan, that the victory of the people in the revolution is more important than the Artsakh liberation war.

The statements voiced from Stepanakert angered Pashinyan, who expressed surprise at such a reaction to Mikayelyan's statement. "Undoubtedly, Mikayelyan himself understood that he made a not very correct comparison, and he himself corrected his statement, saying that he means the fact that the April revolution plays an important role in terms of fixing the victory in the Artsakh liberation war, and not vice versa. And I do not understand the inspiration of some, especially after this adjustment. Reflecting on the current situation, I suddenly remembered a couple of my meetings, where I said that I would not allow making money illegally on boots, clothes and food of the soldiers, to ensure my own well-being. I am even more surprised by the fact that those who have been witnessing how to rob the army over the years are reacting to this formulation," Pashinyan complained.

He continued, adding that he was surprised that those who had "sewn up their mouths for many years, watched the army being plundered, and some even took part in the process, responded to Mikayelyan's statements. "And now they suddenly decided to earn political points on this unfortunate formulation, I will not allow that!!! Those who stole bread from the soldiers will be brought to justice in turn, they have no forgiveness. These few people who ask and beg to stop criminal cases against them, and we tell them that they need to return what was stolen from the servicemen; it seems to them that this is a reason for encouragement. Do not dare to be inspired, sit in your seats and wait for what we are doing to become a reality and do not force us talk about these topics more openly. Do not hope for forgiveness, you are responsible for your every robbery. Do not think that you can take dividends on one sentence and think that people are naive or subjecting your compatriots to self-justice, become a defender of the inspectors. At the same time, he urged not to perceive the policy pursued by them as a weakness. Pashinyan promised to "get everyone", and assured that he would not allow manipulating the Armenian people. "Take care of your service and do not dare to stick your nose in politics. I will apologize for this erroneous wording a thousand times, but I will not allow anyone to earn political dividends. These underground Republican mafia-style games will not work, calm down!", He concluded.

To note this statement caused a negative reaction in Stepanakert. The Secretary of the NKR National Security Council, the hero of Artsakh, Vitaly Balasanyan called to come to his senses. "The national liberation struggle, founded in 1988, is a victory for our people living in Armenia, Artsakh and the Diaspora. NKR is the achievement and pride of all Armenians. It is surprising and even arouses anger that these days, during the election campaign to the RA National Assembly this fact is speculated and understated in some party interests. I would like to remind Sasun Mikayelyan, who went through the horrors of the Artsakh war, that the revolution that occurred in Armenia in the last period cannot be considered a more serious victory than the Artsakh liberation war and even more the foundation of the second Armenian Republic. Such statements at least cast doubt on the participation of such persons in state- building. It is regrettable that such statements are made in the presence of the Supreme Commander-in- Chief of Armenia. ! ".

A statement was made by the NKR Ministry of Defense Spokesman Senor Asratyan, who noted that the statement of a person is ambiguously perceived when he has nothing to speak, but the desire to speak is great. "The proof is a statement made by Sasun Mikaelyan, or rather an attempt to compare or belittle national phenomena. P.S. Try to abandon this habit, especially when it comes to the Artsakh war of liberation, built on the blood of thousands of heroes" Asratyan wrote. And Artsakh President's Advisor Arshavir Gharamyan called for deleting the name of Sasun Mikayelyan from the heroes of the Artsakh war. To note, Sasun Mikayelyan, a member of the Armenian parliament, a member of the My Step bloc led by Nikol Pashinyan, believes that the victory of the people in the revolution is more important than the Artsakh war of liberation. "We won the Artsakh war. I'm not afraid to say that this victory that you, the people, won in our country is more important than the Artsakh liberation war," Mikayelyan said during the election campaign with the participation of premiere of Armenia in the city of Talin.
