168: Nikol, Neither Moscow nor the Armenian people believe in your tears. Tell it straight

“Pressing” in the program Satik Seyranyan’s guest political scientist, representative of the pre-election list of the “Prosperous Armenia” party, chairman of the “Democratic Alternative” party Suren Surenyants is

The main points of the interview are below.

• Nikol Pashinyan’s texts related to April 24 are more and more similar to Erdogan’s texts. If he publishes such texts several times, there will be no difference in content. Moreover, he consistently avoids using the word “genocide,” saying Genocide instead. In his texts, a veiled arrow is pointed in the direction of Russia, as if we are victims of Russia. The theses of Nikol Pashinyan and his team are the same false theses of Turkish rejectionist historiography. Nikol Pashinyan fulfills the mission of Aliyev’s lower spokesman. Yes, the Armenian people have something to think about, but with the message that His Holiness made, how did it happen that 100 years after the genocide, we found ourselves in the same regime, how did we manage to bring them to power? The Armenian people attribute any ugliness to the pocket of the Armenian people, throw it into their pocket.

• We are dealing with a conjunctural person who lives only with the pain of keeping his chair.

• No leader of the newly independent Republic of Armenia has demanded the return of the territories of the lost homeland. Moreover, Armenia has never had any territorial ambitions towards Azerbaijan either. All 3 former presidents of Armenia stated that they have no territorial claims against Turkey, and they see the settlement of Armenian-Turkish relations within the framework of the resolution without preconditions. 

• Pashinyan was re-elected, the possibility of an economic war with Russia is inevitable, the tension with Iran will continue. 

• Nikol Pashinyan was the only leader who fetishized the Treaty of Sevres in a rather vulgar way, thereby legitimizing Turkey’s military participation in the 44-day war. 

• Armenian-Turkish and Armenian-Azerbaijani relations have always been interconnected. Since Nikol Pashinyan had to make unilateral concessions in favor of Azerbaijan, those negotiations failed. Now Alen Simonyan accuses Azerbaijan of obstructing the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations. Today, the decision-making center of gravity in Armenia is in Baku, and Azerbaijan reacts to the burning of the Turkish flag, because Turkey has neither time nor opportunity to look in the direction of Armenia. 

• Nikol Pashinyan announced that he will refuse to speak about the act of vandalism of the Stepanakert Cathedral on international platforms. After that, a group of young people burn the flag of Turkey during a procession with torches, and Nikol Pashinyan very quickly calls it a provocation, bringing the reaction of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan directly said: from now on we are an actor in your internal affairs. 

• Nikol Pashinyan replaced the Russian umbrella with a Turkish-Azerbaijani roof. In the public part of the Pashinyan-Putin conversation, Putin’s conversation was not with Pashinyan, but with the Armenian people, so that the Armenians do not put the responsibility in their pockets once again. Pashinyan was told in Moscow that we will no longer tolerate the policy of sitting on two chairs and we will not allow you to turn Russia into a small coin to justify your lousy policy. Perhaps for the first time during the entire period of his power, Pashinyan felt that the emphasis of Russian policy has changed, and he started taking insurance steps. But I don’t think Moscow anymore believe in tearsis

• Russia’s position became tougher due to the developments in the region around Iran, due to the establishment of a new status quo. Iran got an opportunity to influence regional and world politics. Basically, Iran has targeted the territories of all states in the region, except Armenia.

• Overchuk’s mention of the Treaty of Turkmencha meant that

Iran and Russia will not allow any change to the status quo, it means burying TRIPP in the fog: 

• Nikol Pashinyan has found himself in a situation where any of his public expressions will be directed against him. That has changed in Russian politics.

• By accepting the new mission of European observers in the Armenian National Assembly elections, you legitimize any Russian interference. As a result, as a result of these elections, our society will become more polarized, our subjectivity will decrease even more.

• Putin’s April 24 message is more adequate than Pashinyan’s revisionist message. On the day of their sorrow, a solid diplomatic text was sent from Russia to the friendly Armenian people at the presidential level, in which the causes and consequences of the Genocide were revealed. Russia and France are countries with serious traditions and do not condition their attitude towards this or that event and Armenia by the existence of this or that government, because they have long-term plans and interests related to Armenia. They have not changed, we have changed, deviating from our state and national plans.

• Do you think that Russia and France handed over Artsakh? Of course not. They are co-chairmen, they negotiated until a nation-destroying scourge appeared, who gave Artsakh to Azerbaijan.:

• There was no institute of heir to power in Armenia. Kocharyan was not the heir of Levon Ter-Petrosyan, nor was Serzh Sargsyan the heir of Robert Kocharyan. In addition, it is not appropriate for any president to discuss any domestic political issue in front of a foreign audience. Thirdly, at this pre-election stage, when all of us with the opposition forces have a single target, I consider it illiterate to point out another target, that too in front of a foreign audience. Nikol Pashinyan is engaged in the revision of history, there is no need to help him in that matter. As for the internal political ratings, let me first say that the failure of any opposition pole will be the failure of all of us, but with all due respect to the “Armenia” bloc, this election campaign has other leaders, the centers formed around Samvel Karapetyan and Gagik Tsarukyan. Facts cannot be ignored. 2021 Kocharyan was a favorite, now he is not a favorite:

• The tragic destruction of Artsakh objectively closed the historical period of 3 presidents in the internal political life of Armenia. This is a tragedy and I am sorry to say this. All their activities are related to the Artsakh issue, and if there is no result of their activities, no rebranding will save the aged people from re-entering the electoral struggle.

• There is a pronounced deficit of justice in the villages. Starting from the district administration, no issue is resolved. The entire state apparatus is corrupt, coupled with bespredel. People are on the verge of social oppression, small and medium businesses are facing destruction. If the turnover tax structure is not reviewed, after 1 year there will be no small and medium business. People are catastrophically afraid of the gas price increase, especially after the Putin-Pashinyan meeting, and you can’t deceive people either, tell them to be calm. I am sure that social health and pension programs will be canceled after June 7. People do not believe in Pashinyan’s peace. People say directly, I convey Nikol, people did not believe in your peace, but in your treachery, that you made an agreement with Aliyev not to shoot now:

• A significant part of society feels that the church is the only institution left in our civilization. And the fact that there is a question of changing the Reverend in the KP program is an unconstitutional intervention, and on that basis, the KP could not be registered.

• I have bad news for Nikol Pashinyan: anti-Russian sentiment has experienced a significant retreat. The public sees that the West is not democratic at all because the “democratic” West is killing baby girls in neighboring Iran.

• If Nikol was reinstated, even Hajiyev’s permission would be needed to appoint Malatia or Ajapniak district head.
