Nikol Pashinyan’s statements about the possibility of a “new war” show that in reality we are dealing not with peace, but with the process of fulfilling Turkish-Azerbaijani demands under the threat of war and death. About this 168 TVof Revue mentioned on the air of the program International scholar Menua Soghomonyan, member of “HayaVote” national-civic union.while talking about Pashinyan’s recent statements.

“I mean, if he [Nikol Pashinyan] became incapacitated or, let’s say, died of a heart attack, does that mean it’s over? The Armenian people don’t have a chance to live?” This shows that we are dealing not with peace, but with war, with the process of remaining silent under the threat of death and fulfilling the demands of a meek-submissive Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem, with concessions made, in return for which they do not shoot at us for a short time, and these concessions will continue until they trample us and eliminate us completely,” commented the international expert.

According to Menua Soghomonyan, Pashinyan emphasizes in his speech the need for the KP to obtain a constitutional majority as a result of the new National Assembly elections in order to be able to re-appoint the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Armenia, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee, the members of the Constitutional Court, make all the changes he wants in the Constitutional Court, and have all the independent state bodies, including the National Assembly, the CEC, in his hands to make further concessions to Turkey and Azerbaijan. purpose. The representative of “HayaKve” emphasizes that if this happened, these would be constitutional crimes.

Menua Soghomonyan answers Nikol Pashinyan’s predictions that the opposition forces are preparing “a new September war” with a question.

“And who said that there must be a war?” If he is sincere (of course, he cannot be considered a sincere person), then he should tell in more detail. He declares that he even knows for a month, “it will happen in September”. And maybe he knows the day, maybe he already knows the day that the war will take place. If he knows that there will be a war in September, then someone told him about it.

The speaker must be from Ankara, Turkey, or from Baku. Who else should threaten us with war? If they said such a thing, let the people tell them from where they said that there will be a war in September, who said it, because he himself says: “If it’s up to me, I’ll conduct foreign policy live. I’m open to the people, no one has ever been more open than us.” Now let him say the following that “Erdogan told me that there should be no such change in the Constitution in connection with the Declaration of Independence, if there is no such change in connection with the role of the Church…”, list those “ifs”, so to speak, “hotelkas”, and say that: “Dear people, this is not peace, but blackmail, and I offer a policy of concessions in exchange for that blackmail.” Menua Soghomonyan.

The international expert also raises another question, for example, did he contact the Russian President Putin in connection with these blackmails?

In this context, referring to the telephone conversation between Pashinyan and Putin that took place yesterday, March 23, Menua Soghomonyan expressed the opinion that the anti-Russian attitude carried out by these authorities is just a show.

“For example, did he turn to Putin or Macron or Trump, to whom he constantly said: “God bless you”, “God bless you”? Has he applied for this blackmail and what did people say? Did they say: “We are washing our hands of this matter, go and look at your head.” If that’s the case, let him stand up and say: dear people, I went, I spoke, they told me directly.

Let him say so, if that is what he represents. Let him say, and then let the people decide whether they need such a leader who has no grace, no tongue, no ability to create a security cushion around Armenia, no ability to make agreements with various actors, no ability to ensure internal social cohesion, eliminate hatred and division, no ability to rapidly and steadily develop the military defense system.

Let the people know what kind of leader they need, do they need such a leader, who puts blackmail in front of them every day, at every step, and says, “Well, we have to give, we have to give.” So don’t call it peace and don’t say that Armenia was more sovereign than ever. “Sovereign Armenia cannot be intimidated by a month-to-date war,” says Soghomonyan.

According to the interlocutor’s assessment, the level of Armenia’s sovereignty is at its lowest point in history, and Armenia has never been so rudely dictated to, first of all by Azerbaijan and Turkey. According to the international expert, it is so, because the people at the head of the state think about their power, not the state. According to Menua Soghomonyan, the authorities of the day are “authorities suitable for everyone”, including, as surprising as it may seem at first sight, they are suitable authorities for Moscow or at least “certain towers of the Kremlin”. Well, as they say, there is no question about Turkey and Azerbaijan, the United States and the European Union.

“Actually, look what’s happening. The anti-Russianness carried out by these authorities is just a geopolitical show, but that show affects the consciousness of a part of the Armenian people. Their failures, the damages suffered by the state as a result of their betrayal, the handing over of Artsakh, in the search for the culprits to justify all this, they point to Russia, they demand absolution from Russia on Facebook, but at the same time we see that they are signing a trade deal with the same Russia, under historically record indicators. We have to take all this into account, is this anti-Russian?

Does Sandu of Moldova call Putin or go to meetings with Putin? There is no such thing, therefore this is not anti-Russian, this is a geopolitical show that the West is satisfied with, and this situation is beneficial to the Russians to the extent that they are still busy with the Ukrainian war and have a very good excuse for themselves: “look, your authorities are speaking anti-Russian like that, and we are not fulfilling our contractual obligations because of it.” Pashinyan also says: “Since we appealed to the CSTO, they did not respond, I am also freezing them.” What cooling? There is no such status in political science. For several years now, he has been saying, “CSTO is a security threat.”

Well, you are such a “stupid” prime minister, leave the CSTO, remove the Russian military base. Or you talk about “colonization”, you point the finger at everyone: “colonization”, “colonization”. Name one more state. More precisely, name a president. If by “colonization” you mean that Russia keeps us colonized, then talk about it, say it out loud. Who has been at the head of that “colonization” of Russia for 26 years, Vladimir Putin? Well, dear “Dukhov”, tell the people about it, tell it to Putin. “Putin, why are you colonizing us?” added Menua Soghomonyan.

Let’s remind that on March 19, in a briefing with journalists after the regular session of the Government, Nikol Pashinyan once again called the opposition forces called “war party”, declaring that “the forces acting from the positions of peace revision are preparing a new September war with grave consequences”.

And on Sunday, March 22, while summing up the intra-party campaign day in Yerevan, Nikol Pashinyan announced in a conversation with the party members. “There will be a war in September, and a catastrophic war at that, if the “Civil Agreement” party, I’m not saying wins the elections, does not get a constitutional majority.”
