168: Remember, all of you, we are talking about partitioning Armenia. Pashinyan is dirty, man

Nikol Pashinyan’s April 24th address on the occasion of the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide is “dirty, bloody manipulation”. About this 168 TVof Revue mentioned on the air of the program RA First Defender of Human Rights, Executive Director of “Against Legal Arbitrariness” NGO, Specialist in International Human Rights Law Larisa Alaverdyancommenting on Nikol Pashinyan’s idea that “The Great Genocide is a consequence of involving the Armenian people in international intrigues”.

The specialist with long-term experience in lecturing emphasizes that he is very suspicious of all those people who could not even graduate from university.

“We know that the person holding the post of prime minister could not pass the relevant exams and graduate from the university, and I attribute many, many of his statements to that. Even if he quotes something, I always doubt whether he understood what he was quoting correctly.

Second, it has already been expressed to the top level addressee that he can get 10 diplomas in the specialty of political manipulation.

Not having a university education diploma, he is a great master of manipulative technologies. If there was such a university, he would definitely graduate with honors. Now it is manipulation and that manipulation has a name. It is dirty, bloody manipulation. You know, Genocide scholars are among the most serious scholars. Most of them have historical, philosophical or political education.

Genocide studies are not done by random people. Genocide experts have one mission: to warn and prevent new genocides, and it is no coincidence that they already call the persons who try to come up with such statements to be processed. It’s called ‘victim targeting’, putting the blame on the victim.” commented Larisa Alaverdyan.

The human rights defender added.

“Nikol Pashinyan’s statement as one of the proud citizens of RA and one of the 3 million prime ministers is null and void. It speaks only about the political power he leads and his own delusions or purposeful manipulations, which are full of bloody consequences. I myself completely condemn, I do not agree with anyone who tries to revise the 111-year work of genocide scholars.

The first ombudsman of Armenia reminds that the organizers of the Armenian Genocide, Taleat, Enver, Cemal, were tried by the Turkish court, and it is not Nikol Pashinyan who should explain today what happened in 1915.

Larisa Alaverdyan also reminded how the Entente powers – England, France, Russia – fought in 1915. on May 24 The joint declaration about the massacre of Armenians, where for the first time mass murders of Armenians are given the wording “crime against humanity”, as well as the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which clearly defines the crime of genocide.

“It is very clearly written in that judgment that it was for the purposeful destruction and depatriation of Armenians and other Christians by nationality. So many things can be remembered from the events of those years, but it is known that the Armenian community of the Ottoman Empire participated in the First World War by the Ottoman army, and such a statement has a premeditated nature, and to reason here that he is illiterate is very little.

He does not like to work with documents and judges from the position of Turkish denial policy. Today, the person who cannot publish the surnames of the soldiers who died during the Forty-four Day War demands to print the surnames of one and a half million killed victims, what do you want after that? It is a form of dirty manipulation. This is dirty, bloody manipulation. Why bloody?

Genocide experts make it clear that such attempts, as well as denial and concealment of crimes, and this is such an attempt, are also a crime because it contributes to the realization of new genocides. In other words, the genocidal act that took place in Artsakh in 2020-23 is not enough for that person. He is clearly ready to serve other genocides against Armenians.” Larisa Alaverdyan mentioned.

According to the human rights defender, Pashinyan’s statement is a dirty and bloody manipulation, because it is fraught with great danger, that is, it encourages Azerbaijan and Turkey to continue the genocide with the old or new “hybrid” methods.

In this context, Larisa Alaverdyan warns: “we have been invaded from the inside”.

“Our task is to fight to get rid of this occupied state. This is a liberation struggle. Remember, all of you, we are talking about partitioning Armenia.” declared the human rights defender.

Let us remind that on April 24, Nikol Pashinyan with a message spoke on the occasion of the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, expressing a number of controversial thoughts and trying under the title of commemorating the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide, in fact, to advance his well-known propaganda views on the revision of history, national issues being an instrument of influence in the hands of great powers, “peace” being a guarantee of not allowing the repetition of the Genocide, the identity of the state and the homeland, putting forward ideas reminiscent of the Turkish denial of the Armenian Genocide. theses and evaluations. To put it more simply, in Nikol Pashinyan’s message there is no mention of Turkey’s responsibility or guilt for the crime of the Armenian Genocide.

In particular, at the beginning of the text, Nikol Pashinyan says that on April 24, “we commemorate the victims of the Armenian Genocide, the Great Genocide, and pay tribute to our compatriots who were massacred, deported and starved in the Ottoman Empire for being Armenians”, but it is not mentioned who were the organizers of the genocide and who are their successors today. And the mention of famine, epidemics, and diseases in itself reminds of Turkish denialism, attempts to attribute the deliberate killing of more than 1.5 million Armenians, the genocide, to some “unfortunate accidents” or “diseases”.

Secondly, referring to the volume of Armenian history published by the NAS History Institute, Nikol Pashinyan claims that it is well documented that “the Great Genocide is a consequence of the practice of involving the Armenian people in international conspiracies”. Nikol Pashinyan himself insists that “we have understood that the Great Genocide cannot be allowed to become a tool for international players to fight against each other.” From this, a logical question arises, whether Nikol Pashinyan is trying to lead the issue of the Armenian Genocide to his excuses, that it was “a noose around our necks”, and therefore, we should get rid of it.

In addition, Nikol Pashinyan claims in the address that the greatest desire of the Armenian people is to have a state and peace, which has been realized, and the state and peace are the guarantee that the Armenian Genocide will not happen again. In this context, he calls to “stop the search for a homeland outside the internationally recognized 29,743 square kilometers of our state, the Republic of Armenia.”
