Eduard Sharmazanov writes on his Facebook page. “What do you have to do with Mesrop Mashtots? he founded a school in Amaras, you fired people to name Artsakh.

Once again, Nikol excelled at distorting historical facts and announced that Hayatan is at the same crossroads in both 405 and 2026.

Nikol Pashinyan, 405 there was neither a Turk nor an Azerbaijani at this intersection.

This does not bring unsuccessful examples from history…

A person wants to put aside the literature with diploma, PhD, and professional volumes read.

O omniscient, what does 405 have to do with it? The geopolitical environment of Armenia with the “Turkish intersection” you brought.

405 Armenia’s neighbors were the Eastern Roman Empire /Byzantium/ and Persia.

There was neither a Turk nor an Azerbaijani at our intersection. Are you turning the state into a “Turkish Corridor” and talking about Mesrop Mashtots?

Mesrop Mashtots founded a school in the Amaras monastery of Artsakh, which you handed over to the Azerbaijanis.

Also, you fired the head of the museum for donating a book about Artsakh.

That of Artsakh, where Saint Mesrop Mashtots founded schools.

That Artsakh, which you used to proclaim as “Armenia, and that’s it.”

Samvel Farmanyan writes on his Facebook page. “There is 1-1.5 months to prevent the final disintegration of Armenia.

There is one realistic solution.

1) The opposition very quickly, in two to three weeks, conducts pre-election primaries, forms a single list and participates in the National Assembly elections with one list. In the case of the United Opposition-Nikol dilemma, Nikol has no chance to be re-elected on June 7. It also has no chance of falsification, it will not digest. It has no chance.

2) The first number of that joint list is also quickly nominated as a candidate for impeachment of the Prime Minister and on April 20, for example, the project of expressing no confidence in Nikol is introduced to the National Assembly, there are enough votes. In parallel, the people are called to a three-day nationwide rally, April 21-23, when the issue of impeachment will be discussed in the National Assembly by force of law.

Is there any doubt that those rallies called by the united opposition will become Waterloo?

It will not be possible to “help” KP MPs to vote for Nikol’s impeachment project, which is almost impossible, all that street energy will go to the June 7 vote and wipe out Nikol and KP, when the united opposition is on the other side of the barricade.

Such a simple solution to such a complex question.

P.S. So don’t leave the selfishness and eaten radishes of the opposition leaders on the neck of the people. It is a bigger and more immoral nicholism. Nicole had and still has one source of strength: an incompetent, fake or deal-prone opposition. The rest is lolo.”

I am not in the mood to give an interview today, please respect my right, I will give an interview one day. Former RA Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan said this in front of the Anti-Corruption Court, without answering journalists’ questions.

He only mentioned that he definitely supports Samvel Karapetyan.

Let’s remind that at the moment, the Anti-Corruption Court is examining the issue of Samvel Karapetyan’s arrest petition.

Poet Husik Arai for it has long been understandable what Nikol Pashinyan is doing, denying Artsakh, ceding territories from Armenia, and in that context, consider his latest statement that “gifting books to a foreign guest about the Artsakh issue is a provocation, an incitement to war.”

“Let me remind you that Nikol Pashinyan considered the participants of the Artsakh war as “occupiers”, including his son who served in Artsakh. This man was clearly saying what business the RA soldier has in the territory of another country. Now, if the person who said such a thing is re-elected to power in RA, it is very likely that the participants of the Artsakh war will be rounded up and taken to Aghdam, a concentration camp. If these people remain in power, they will not only condemn people for Artsakh, as they are firing people now, but they will also change the Armenian alphabet, switch to the Latin alphabet, declaring that “all the country’s problems come from Mesrop Mashtots.” Whatever our enemy dictates to that person, he moves according to that agenda.

In the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, the Vice President of the USA was presented with a book about Artsakh, they found out about it in Azerbaijan and gave Pashinyan a “hoop”, saying: “Davai”, take appropriate measures.” of 168.am Husik Aran mentioned in a conversation with

The poet reminded that more than once the authorities in RA protect the interests of Azerbaijan, stressing that skier Mikayel Mikayelyan covered the name “Azerbaijan” written on his uniform with adhesive tape, after which the president of the federation was fired. This will continue as long as Nikol Pashinyan is at the helm of Armenia.

“This wants to turn the Armenian people into an amorphous plant, destroying everything that has anything to do with Armenians and Armenia. Soon he will say: the statue of Andranik, Nzhdeh provokes enmity, they should be dismantled, the names of the streets should be changed, etc., Husik Ara added.

He also noted that every day in Azerbaijan they talk about the return of “West Azerbaijan” at the state level, but there is no response from Armenia at the state level. Is this not a provocation against Armenia?

“At the state level, everything in Azerbaijan is decisively advanced, in Syunik everything is presented as Azerbaijani, as well as the whole of Armenia. It was Alen Simonyan, wasn’t he, who said that “Azerbaijanis should live in Armenia the way Armenians live in Georgia.” So, this government has given a “green light” for Azerbaijan, in which case Azerbaijan has the opportunity to make all its arguments come true and present them to the world as reality,” Husik Ara emphasized.

The poet is sure that these actions against Armenia will take place as long as this government is in Armenia.

“All this will not only continue, but all the dangers will become reality, expect more shocking actions from the authorities of both Azerbaijan and Armenia,” Husik Ara emphasized.

Let’s remind that on March 11, the former director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, Edita Gzoyan, wrote an application for release on the instructions of Nikol Pashinyan himself. About this admitted Nikol Pashinyan, during a briefing with journalists, saying that he presented the US vice president with a book about Artsakh, that’s why he urged him to write an application for release.

—

Edita Gzoyan, who has been in charge of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute since February 2024, submitted her resignation the other day. According to various news reports, he was removed from his position by the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, allegedly considering the problems related to the repair works of the Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex. However, in reality, Nikol Pashinyan instructed him to write a resignation letter, no more, no less, because Edita Gzoyan gave US Vice President Vance a book about the Artsakh conflict.

“When the country’s prime minister says that there is no Karabakh movement, what does it mean to present a book on the subject of the “Artsakh issue” to a foreign guest? How many people can conduct foreign policy in this country?

The government conducts foreign policy in this country, and the government official of Armenia who says something contrary to Armenia’s foreign policy should be fired, what is the issue there? Are we a state or a self-made group?” said Nikol Pashinyan in a briefing with journalists yesterday after the Government session.

Ashot Melkonyan, academician of the National Academy of Sciences, former director of the Institute of History of the National Academy of Sciences according to him, there is no political provocation in the steps taken by Edita Gzoyan.

“I don’t see any politics in these steps. The fact that ethnic cleansing of Armenians took place in Azerbaijan, genocidal acts in Artsakh in 2020-2023 is a fact, not only Armenian specialists, but also international experts have assessed all of this a long time ago. Now, if they present literature to US Vice President Vance regarding all this, I don’t see any provocation here.” of 168.am Ashot Melkonyan said in a conversation with

To the question: is he not afraid that one day Nikol Pashinyan will, for example, forbid historians to name Artsakh, or stop talking about the Armenian Genocide, Ashot Melkonyan replied that historians should continue to fulfill their professional duties.

“Writing an unbiased history is our task, which is what we are called to do and we will continue to work like that. Otherwise, it will turn out that we are returning to Soviet times, when there was a political conjuncture. science is science, politics is politics. In other words, the scientist is obliged to bring the historical truth to the surface, no matter how much it is not pleasing to some political force or government circles of another country. There are always problems with the neighbors, and we are obliged to raise these problems, which the Azerbaijanis do, in a way of turning it upside down. In Azerbaijan, in their history institute, they have created a special department to study the history of “Western Azerbaijan”, isn’t this a provocation, this is exactly what provocation is?

To remind, Edita Gzoyan submitted an application for release on March 11.

US Vice President Vance visited the Tsitsernaberd Memorial with his wife on February 10, he made a note in the memorial book of honored guests of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute. Edita Gzoyan accompanied Vance to the memorial.

on July 10, 2023 “Following Pashinyan’s search for the gunner of the war. Before and after the war” We published an analysis in the article, where according to the chronology and political moment, we presented what Nikol Pashinyan considered the trigger of the war. Of course, during this period, the number of reasons for war already voiced by Pashinyan has increased.

And now he considers His Holiness and the Armenian Apostolic Church to be war mongers because they dare to say during the liturgy that they bless the Republic of Artsakh and speak about the rights of Artsakh Armenians.

And it is nothing that the former presidents or the opposition forces state that today they cannot imagine the return to Artsakh in any way, it is not realistic, and that a number of issues must be resolved for this, which may not be possible in the coming years. In other words, there is political manipulation in Pashinyan’s speech here as well.

On the other hand, it is possible, isn’t it, to ensure that the Armenian graves are not destroyed, the Armenian traces are not destroyed by Baku, so that the people of Artsakh can either visit the graves of their children, husbands, parents, or carry out the exhumation and bring the bodies of their relatives to Armenia. Is this an act of war or an international human right?

Another thing: when, for example, Pashinyan’s opponents say that the Artsakh page should not be closed, they mean that, first of all, not to forget the victory of the first Artsakh war, those who gave their lives for the sake of a centimeter of land for 30 years, their biographies, and deal with what I said about.

Can the mentions of the soldiers, officers, commanders who died in the same 44-day war in the form of articles, or the presence of the Artsakh flag near the graves in Yerablur be considered a trigger of war tomorrow? First of all, this is called not closing the Artsakh page, and this cannot be a trigger for war, as Nikol Pashinyan claims, and what is the question: does Aliyev demand it?

By the way, during the days of the 44-day war, on October 16, 2020, while sending off the reservists who were leaving Yerevan for the Artsakh war, he said:

“You go there to protect your bedrooms, to protect your bedroom entrances, to protect your porches, to protect your buildings, to protect your yards.”

In other words, the outcome of the 44-day war was directly related to the security of Armenia, but not in the context that many people like to say, but in terms of the geographical position, which was a certain geopolitical playing card in our hands. And in reality, the Republic of Armenia has been the guarantor of Artsakh’s security for 30 years, and when it ceased to be, we lost Artsakh, yes, weakening the security of Armenia geographically.

But even in the case of the results of the 44-day war, it was possible to have as strong security as possible and not to lose territories from Armenia. This is a separate discussion topic.

In this context, let’s not forget the revolution or evolution of Pashinyan’s views on the status of Artsakh, which 168.amas well presented in detail.

Let’s go back to the topic of whether or not to provoke a war.

168.ampresented in detail after the war is pwar warnings chronology, and how Nikol Pashinyan has shown himself, having these warnings in hand, what provocative steps he has taken, from various statements to the participants of the July victory in Sardarapat reward A month before the 44-day war.

By the way, back in 2019, when Artak Davtyan was the head of the GSH, our with information During the consultations in the General Assembly, the possibility of a war was also highly assessed, it was even mentioned that the next war will be more large-scale than the April 2016 war. Moreover, Davtyan had this idea on one occasion said also during the interview given to Satik Seyranyan.

Here it is worth remembering how Pashinyan was after the change of power in 2018 refusal considers the formula “territories in exchange for peace” unacceptable, and then repeatedly states that if territories were handed over, he would be considered a traitor. And this before the war, during the war, and after it.

Let’s remember Pashinyan’s famous confession: “We could have prevented the war, which would have resulted in the same situation without the casualties.” Why was this not done, why on the 4th day of the war, the former head of the RA Armed Forces General Onik Gasparyan? the offer not accepted. Maybe it was needed.

And now, when Nikol Pashinyan considers his party the “party of peace” and the Church or the opponents as the party of war, it is ridiculous.

Why, because in the 8 years of Pashinyan’s rule, we got the 44-day war of 2020 with several thousands of victims, territorial losses and the document of November 9, by which the territories held by the army were surrendered, this was followed by the May 2021 Azerbaijani invasion of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, but during that time Nikol Pashinyan continued to promise peace in pre-election meetings. Selected.

And months after that, we had the November battles of 2021, the September battles of 2022, during which we had more than 200 casualties in a few hours, we had territorial losses, Azerbaijan entered Jermuk.

Moreover, after the 2021 elections, Pashinyan also announced that his “Civil Pact” party received votes from Armenian citizens in the elections. A mandate to open an era of peaceful development for Artsakh.

And what? Artsakh was depopulated in 2023.

Now who is the war party, and should we believe the peace promises of such a government? By the way, the enemy can wage a war in supposedly peaceful conditions, with supposedly peaceful weapons.

And what Pashinyan says is that he decides the RA foreign policy and no one has the right to oppose it. Very well, in that case, let’s remind Pashinyan again that the 44-day war happened because the foreign policy he drew failed, secondly, the war is conducted by the state, and he is in RA martial law under the conditions assumed the authority of the supreme commander, why is he not responsible for the defeat in the war, and those who implement his foreign policy, why was he left only to the army, which was suddenly decided to be made a reserve?

Promises about peace, even unfulfilled ones, do not “water down” the responsibility for wars, their results and consequences.

A little while ago, information was spread that the police detained about two dozen supporters of Samvel Karapetyan from the court yard.

168.amAccording to the report, the supporters of Samvel Karapetyan were detained just for crossing the street at the traffic light.

The participants of the peaceful support action in front of the anti-corruption court building were detained for unknown reasons and, according to preliminary information, transferred to the Arabkir department of the RA Ministry of Internal Affairs.

We were also informed that the lawyers are dealing with the issue of those detained.

According to the police, however, there are 3 arrested and they are in the regional division of the MIA police because of not fulfilling the legal requirement of the police officer.

While the Ministry of Health declares that there are no problems related to the state order, citizens continue to face problems when they arrive at the hospital with a serious health condition to be treated or receive appropriate medication within the framework of the state order, and suddenly hear the answer: “There is no money, wait.”

After hearing such an answer, the citizens are forced to raise money in order to pay and receive the necessary medical care. And those who do not have money, of course, should go home and live in harmony with their health problems, relying only on God, because “the state order is over, there is no money, they have to wait”.

Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Garik Aghabekyan is one of those citizens who has already faced this problem several times, because one of his relatives was diagnosed with cancer.

“The man has breast cancer, the cancer must be treated within the framework of the state order, now he is receiving chemotherapy. He should receive the third chemotherapy next week, we paid for the first two chemotherapy treatments, we bought the medicine. The head of the hospital department says: “What can I do? We have to buy the medicine.”

We ask, “Isn’t it a state order?” He replies, “It is a state order, but there is no money, we have to buy the medicine.” I spoke with the director of the hospital, he said: “What should I do? The state should give, but the state does not give money.”

In the case of another citizen, maybe the prescribed medicine is more expensive or cheaper, I don’t know, but we buy the medicine every time for 145 thousand drams. Now, does every person have the opportunity to pay 145,000 drams, buy medicine in order to receive chemotherapy? What do you think?” 168.am–Garik Aghabekyan said in a conversation with

According to our interlocutor, they called the doctor for the third chemotherapy and received an answer that “it seems that there is no money this time.”

“This is also the state of our state order, it has been for ages that the state provides the treatment of cancer patients, the Ministry of Health should at least do this, and then go deal with the issues of pensioners… They still haven’t done one thing, they are doing another, and that too half-heartedly. That is why our healthcare sector is in this state,” added Professor Garik Aghabekyan.

Continuing, our interlocutor said that it is natural that within the framework of the state order, the patient is admitted to the hospital, laid in the ward, they do not pay a single penny for it, but they say to the same patient: “go and bring the medicine, the state should have given money, we also gave the medicine, but the state did not give money.”

“They say: I’m sorry, there is no medicine, we can’t connect you to the system. It turns out that a cancer patient comes home without treatment, which for him is equal to death: the disease develops, life is shortened. Now the Ministry of Health cares about the health of its citizens or not, it does not care,” added Garik Aghabekyan.

We also asked the professor: if there are claims that Ewing’s sarcoma malignant tumor is treated free of charge in Armenia, then why do our compatriots go to Germany to get treatment? Garik Aghabekyan answered: if it is already sarcoma, there should be a state order, now the question arises: why do Armenians leave Armenia for treatment?

“If they go, then there are some problems. We have good doctors, but there are some Armenians who say: ‘Let’s go to the USA or Europe, it will be fine.’ But if they buy, then either the medicine is not available, or there is another problem.  Maybe, following our example, others are told to pay for medicine. In other words, our healthcare system is in a bad state,” he emphasized.

According to Garik Aghabekyan, it is not realistic that the Ministry of Health will take steps after raising the issue, but he is not going to sit quietly and not raise the problems he has seen with his own eyes.

“It’s me, I don’t have those 145,000 drams. What am I going to do? I should tell my relative: it’s over, right?” The administrative situation of the hospitals is also very bad, as if they are holding a competition, appointing a person who has no experience as the head of the hospital, it is good, at least he is a doctor, maybe tomorrow or the next day they will remove this too, and say that it is not necessary for the head of the hospital to be a doctor,” emphasized Garik Aghabekyan.

It turns out that there are millions of reward money for the authorities of the day, but there is no state order money?

While the Iran-USA-Israel war continues in the Middle East, amid rumors that the war is not going according to the American plan, the US president continues to make victorious statements. During the last hours, he announced that since the Second World War, no country has been hit as hard as Iran is now.

“We have destroyed most of their missiles, we have destroyed many drones, we have destroyed many objects producing missiles and drones. We are hitting them with a force that no country has felt since World War II,” he said in an interview on the Fox News channel.

He also wrote on his page of the Truth Social social network that new attacks will be carried out against the leadership of Iran in the near future.

“Look what’s going to happen today to those crazy bastards,” Trump wrote, vowing to continue the destruction of those he called responsible for the deaths of innocent people around the world for decades.

The American leader also spoke harshly to the press, accusing the media of defeatist sentiments.

According to him, if you read the New York Times, you might mistakenly think that the US is not winning, when in fact Iran’s navy is destroyed, aviation has ceased to exist, missiles and drones are subject to widespread destruction, and “leaders have been wiped off the face of the earth.”

It is noteworthy that despite the ongoing attacks against various Iranian settlements, tens of thousands of people in many cities and villages of Iran today took to the streets to celebrate Al-Quds Day, which is celebrated on the last Friday of Ramadan, when people in Iran and other countries take to the streets as a sign of solidarity and unity in the fight against the Jewish state.

Today’s march was attended by the President of the Republic of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian, the Minister of Internal Affairs Seyed Abbas Araghchi, as well as the Secretary of the National Security Council of Iran, Ali Larijani. He walked freely through the streets and answered the questions of journalists. He said that Israel’s attacks prove its helplessness, and Trump does not understand that the people of Iran are mature, strong and determined. According to him, the greater the pressure, the stronger the will of the people. Earlier, Larijani recorded that Trump said that he expected a quick victory.

“Although starting a war is easy, it cannot be won with a few posts. We will not surrender until you repent for this miscalculation,” he wrote.

168.amin a conversation with ռուս ռազմական վերլուծաբան Ալեքսանդր Խրամչիխինն said that it is definitely not in the interests of the US to prolong this war, because it is difficult for the US to wage war in this region against a state like Iran.

According to him, the analysts noted earlier that Iran is not Iraq or Venezuela and that a crushing and quick war against Iran is not possible.

According to Alexander Khramchikhin, since the initial plan – a quick war, the option of eliminating the supreme leader of Iran and solving the issue in this way – did not work, and now the future plan is not mentioned.

“Iran’s plan is to confront, the Iranian side clearly declares that, Iran’s position, in my opinion, is hardening parallel to the military operations. And there are conflicting statements from the USA, one says that they have won, another says that the war will end soon, and they also say that new powerful rocket attacks are expected… and the reason for this is that the initial calculation that removing a few key officials would solve the issue did not work, as the system continued to resist. Time will show how effective it is, but the US and Israel are still unable to solve the problem before them.

Another issue is that Trump wants to declare victory, there is almost no possibility of negotiation or retreat between the parties, this also complicates the situation, as well as the fact that Iran declares that it will not negotiate, and there are also some preconditions,” Khramchikhin said.

According to him, the statements that the USA has eliminated all of Iran’s missile potential are not reliable, otherwise Iran would not have resisted, and the situation on the battlefield would have changed.

As for the South Caucasus, according to Alexander Khramchikhin, the South Caucasus countries, following the situation, should draw conclusions from the policies of the USA and Iran for their future foreign policy.

According to him, there is one scenario when the USA achieves its goals by defeating Iran, another scenario is when Iran resists, reaching the point where the USA announces the cessation of military operations.

“Being in the neighborhood of this war, it is impossible not to take all this into account. Iran is an important player in the South Caucasus, this war will naturally change the political perceptions of Iran and the USA, including in the South Caucasus. And I think that the careful positioning of Turkey and Azerbaijan is important, taking into account the nature of the relations between Turkey and the USA,” said Alexander Khramchikhin.
