Political scientist Vazgen Hovhannisyan in my opinion, a sober person cannot have such an idea that the people of Artsakh have fled.

“A moral person will never have such a question that the people of Artsakh have fled. The people of Artsakh were subjected to ethnic cleansing. 2023 The threat of genocide hung over the heads of the people of Artsakh like a sword of Damocles, those people simply had no other option and were subjected to ethnic cleansing, which is one of the tools of the genocide.

As for Pashinyan’s statement that he did not surrender Artsakh, the November 9 statement was signed on his own initiative, that is, the war was defeated by that person, and then he created such conditions, as a result of which Azerbaijan, implementing its consistent policy, subjected the Artsakh state to dismantling and subjected the people to genocide with the tools of ethnic cleansing.

In other words, the fault lies with the military-political leadership of the day, which signed the statement of November 9 and after that tried to leave the Artsakh issue little by little.” 168TV “Review” he said during the program, emphasizing that as long as Pashinyan is in power, we will constantly hear the narrative that he is not guilty and that Artsakh was surrendered in September 2023.

Pashinyan does not say Artsakh in 2023. it was handed over in September, but he says that it was handed over by the previous authorities, Artsakh was part of Azerbaijan for 30 years, etc., Vazgen Hovhannisyan responded like this: “Oh, that’s delusional, what does it mean, the previous authorities handed it over?” A normal historian will write in the history book that by 2018 The Armenian units controlled not only the territory of the Republic of Armenia, but also the Republic of Artsakh, which was the subject of negotiations between the Republic of Armenia and Azerbaijan. After 2018, the narratives changed, after which we saw a war, after the war, the gradual dissolution of Artsakh by Azerbaijan…”

He emphasized that Pashinyan and his teammates are promoting the Azeri agenda, according to which Armenia should have a miserable status, where the decision-maker is not the RA citizen and the RA state interest, but the service of Azerbaijan’s strategic interests. “I continue to insist that Nikol Pashinyan’s stay in power every day leads to the dissolution and dismantling of the Armenian state.”

According to him, when Pashinyan declares that if he is not re-elected, there will be a war, then it should be looked at with Azerbaijan’s logic. “Since Pashinyan’s government is collaborationist, Azerbaijan is not using a military tool at the moment, because Nikol Pashinyan meets all the demands.

When will Azerbaijan use a military tool, i.e. pay a higher price to get something? at a time when there will be a containment policy against him. In the case of Pashinyan, they do not use force, because just as Pashinyan strangled Artsakh and handed it over to the enemy, he will strangle RA in the same way. In other words, the map that he is walking around in his hand, tomorrow if Azerbaijan decides to subject Syunik to military occupation, he will walk around with a smaller map.”
