168: It is time to face reality. Onik Gasparyan’s statement

April 19, 2026

Onik Gasparyan issued a statement. “Dear compatriots, in the last few days, some people have thrown into the information field false news about war and post-war events, manipulating my personality.

People who spread false news are using the fact that I prefer the national and state interest and refrain from giving public clarifications on issues related to the war. Therefore, I propose to organize a discussion in the National Assembly in a closed format regarding the war and post-war events of 2020, involving in the discussion the key political and military positions held during that period, as well as the political and public figures who have the appropriate permission to deal with the data containing state and official secrets, and the relatives of the dead and missing servicemen.

It is time to face the reality and explode all the lies and unnecessary speculations that are circulating. I am ready to present a detailed and multifaceted argumentative analysis regarding the armed forces.”

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
