Ruben Vardanyan, the former minister of state of Artsakh, who was illegally convicted in Azerbaijan, sounded another alarm the other day, announcing that he tried to contact the human rights defender of Azerbaijan, but did not succeed because the contact was interrupted. He even tried to contact the Ministry of Human Rights of Azerbaijan through a lawyer, again in vain. Regarding all this, the other day through the Ruben Vardanyan family statement had spread.

Siranush Sahakyan, representative and lawyer of Armenian prisoners of war at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). According to Ruben Vardanyan’s message, it clearly shows the problem that has been raised many times: the absolute isolation of Armenian prisoners, the lack of contact with the outside world, and the lack of effective legal measures.

“All this means that the rights of these persons cannot be protected. Even the local mechanisms, which are meant to protect the rights of persons in closed institutions, become ineffective in the case of ethnic Armenians. This record is not only our approach, but also a judicial record of the ECHR that the Azerbaijani authorities cannot provide protection measures for ethnic Armenians.” 168.amSiranush Sahakyan said in a conversation with

According to him, in the case of Armenian hostages and prisoners, the only mechanism in Baku that could act relatively, and that is, in order to solve humanitarian issues, was the office of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The operation of the office in Baku is currently suspended and discretionary during this time one entry visit took place, within which some humanitarian assistance was provided for the transfer of hygiene items and other items.

Siranush Sahakyan noted that the government of Azerbaijan, having organized the illegal trials, also refuses to give the verdicts to the recipients and their family members.

“All this shows that these trials were fake, they were political processes carried out for other purposes, and by not issuing these verdicts, Azerbaijan is also trying to hinder international legal protection. And here we find ourselves in the domain of violation of new rights,” added the human rights defender.

Our interlocutor emphasized that the only way in these conditions is international involvement, for example, as a result of negotiations, making Red Cross visits regular, which, unfortunately, depends on the will and desire of the Azerbaijani authorities. There may also be the right of consular visit, which is exercised directly by the Republic of Armenia or mediated through a third neutral state.

“I record with great pain that there is inaction here, and the Republic of Armenia does not exercise its sovereign rights towards its own citizens and contributes to the formation of this gap, a vacuum. The great burden falls on the shoulders of human rights defenders, who should be able to present the situation to the international community and make it an agenda in the background of these injustices happening in the world. Of course, this is very difficult, especially when there is no proactive state policy and diplomacy, it is also difficult because human rights problems have become widespread in various sectors. We should also raise the issues of Armenian prisoners, achieve the internationalization of these issues and in that way also reach the solution.

Of course, taking legal protection measures with the involvement of families is also in the discussion stage. At the moment, I cannot say for sure, but I should mention in general terms that families can, under certain circumstances, entrust the protection of the interests of those in Baku and file interstate claims against Azerbaijan through their lawyers,” emphasized Siranush Sahakyan.

Let’s remind that on February 5, it became known that the military and political leadership of Artsakh, except former presidents Arkady Ghukasyan and Bako Sahakyan, were all sentenced to life imprisonment by the Baku military court. Arkadi Ghukasyan and Bako Sahakyan were sentenced to 20 years in prison, taking into account their age.

Let’s also remind that on September 19, 2023, after the war started against Artsakh, Azerbaijan captured the former high-ranking military and political leadership of Artsakh from September 27 under the threat of killing civilians.

168TVof “Trigger” the guest of the program Larisa Alaverdyan is the former human rights defender of Armenia, executive director of “Against Legal Arbitrariness” NGO.:

During the interview, issues related to the politics of memory and approaches to coverage of historical events were discussed. In particular, reference was made to the contrast between the attitude towards the anniversary of the Sumgait pogroms in Armenia and the state-level events dedicated to the so-called Khojaly events in Azerbaijan.

Special attention was paid to the international legal agenda, including the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Ramil Safarov, within which violations of the right to life and the ban on ethnic discrimination were recorded, as well as the further calls of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to Azerbaijan to introduce changes in the national legislation.

During the conversation, the situation related to the Armenian prisoners held in Baku was also considered, including the issues of access to legal protection, communication with the outside world and the involvement of international mechanisms.

In addition, the discussion touched on the current statements of the Armenian authorities, including the reaction to the book about Artsakh and the situation around the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, in the context of state policy and public discussions.

168TV’s “Zara Has a Question” the guest of the program Armenian Genocide Museum–former director of the institute, doctor of historical sciences Hayk Demoyan is.

Since the discussions about the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute do not stop recently, considering also the episode of the dismissal of Edita Gzoyan, we first asked Hayk Demoyan to comment on this episode.

He responded to our observation that both Zhanna Andreasyan and Nikol Pashinyan confirmed in recent days that, yes, Edita Gzoyan resigned from her position on their direct orders, and to the questions: did she commit misconduct by dedicating a book on the subject of Artsakh, do such protocols related to the museum really exist, or is this just an attempt to limit academic freedom?

“To tell the truth, I don’t know if there is any innovation in the last 8 years or not, I guess there is not, but in 11 years, when I personally led about 400 such delegations, guests of various degrees, high-ranking, there was no written, verbal instruction. In one word, it’s a disgrace.”

And the series of scandals, according to Demoyan, started in 2018, when the new authorities broke into his office during his short absence from the country.

In his observations of the present realities drawn from the past, the former director of the HCTI regretfully noted:

“The mine exploded a long time ago. we have a corpse of statehood, and there they engage in political necrophilia, we engage in elections.”

What can we expect from the processes aimed at Armenian-Turkish relations, when Pashinyan gladly takes Erdogan’s book about the “Just World” and takes a picture, is that enough for relations, or are the meetings between Kluch and Rubinyan enough? In response to our questions, the genocide scholar stressed.

“I have always called this a game of cat and mouse. The number 1 problem for Turkey now, in the first stage, is the marginalization of Armenia in all aspects: energy, military, political allies, then in the 2nd stage (there is no 3rd stage), the complete elimination of that statehood.

Now, perhaps, these people have some hopes that Turkey will open the border based on some things, or partially open a half-open door, it will be a window. It will not happen, the number 1 problem for Turkey is the dissolution of Armenian statehood…

They demonstrate that they are even ready to, let’s say, deny the issue of the Genocide, to forget it, to marginalize the work of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute with shameful processes, with processes against the church. they are reporting messages to Aliyev and Erdogan, that, look, but there they definitely treat all this with a smile.”

In recent days, the chairman of the RA NA Standing Committee on Defense and Security Affairs, Andranik Kocharyan, has given interviews to various media almost one after the other (“Faktor”, “Kentron” TV Company, “Armenia” TV Company). And, naturally, the report of the 44-day investigative commission was not bypassed in all places, it was noted that the legal goal is important, not the formal terms, which is disputed whether it was violated or not.

Andranik Kocharyan is sure that the 44-day report will find its way, but it is not known when. One thing is clear: before the elections, Nikol Pashinyan’s government will not even present the permissible parts to the public, nor the concluding part of the report, which, as Kocharyan claims, is based on undeniable facts, and he would like it to be published at some point as a result of the discussion with his colleagues.

That is, even though many key figures were not questioned, many important episodes were not taken into account, and essentially an attempt was made to absolve the political leadership of the responsibility for the defeat of the 2020 war, the report also has another and very specific subjective side, which we wrote however, the current authorities have certain fears.

It should be noted that the report of the Investigative Commission was forwarded to the Speaker of the National Assembly on September 3, 2025.

And a month later, Andranik Kocharyan on Public TV announced, that report It is 215 pages. and only the conclusion approx 20 pages.

But lo and behold, on March 17, 2026, on the air of “Armenia” TV, the chairman of the RA NA Standing Committee on Defense and Security Affairs declared.

«Investigator: of the commission the report Out of 400 pages more became, with its videos, the textual part, protocolwith A:in permanent value is it in terms of, that State structures ուսումնասիրելով՝ հասկանան՝ 44-daily in the war our of defeat the foundations where? need is let them see. And when you see the foundations, you also solve the problems we talked about at the beginning by learning lessons, related to armaments, personnel training, changes in legislation, implementation of the government’s plan.”

Moreover, Andranik Kocharyan did not say about the report being about 200 pages only on the air of Public TV, but in all other briefings and in interviews:

It is not clear how the volume of the report has increased by about 200 pages now, is it a slip of the tongue or… After all, it is not the first such case in the case of Andranik Kocharyan. 2025 on November 27 NA Speaker Alen Simonyan publishedr: The number of victims of the 44-day war of 2020: 3833, which was also approved by the RA Investigative Committee at the same time, and 2025 on November 19 Given to Factor TV in the interview the same Andranik Kocharyan noted. “Let me say a number, will it be enough for you: 3987?”

Andranik Kocharyan, in an interview given to “Armenia” TV on March 17, 2026, in the context of the 44-day war and the US-Israeli military operation against Iran, claimed that “today we are more protected than before the 44-day war and even after the four-day war”, and that they learned lessons from the 44-day war and acquired modern weapons, trained qualified personnel.

“Today we are more prepared than we were during 2020. If we had today’s fortresses and system during the four-day and 44-day war, we would have a completely different picture. Forceful of actions time a lot important is, or first the blow how me acceptance, suspension and: backlash delivers. And today this the castles us opportunity are gives Azerbaijan with border alive along to have engineering such system, which first and the blow to stop big possibly is օժտված՝ aerial, terrestrial”.

Andranik Kocharyan very rightly says that during war and military operations, it is very important how you take the first blow. And one of the key issues related to the 44-day war of 2020 is exactly this: why the Defense Army, the armed forces have completely gone into defense were not there are open facts that prove this, and it is also because of this that in the first hours of the war we had many victims and material losses, which Samvel Babayan may have said in the investigative commission, because he was one of the first to speak about this during the war. On the morning of September 27, the Armed Forces of Artsakh had already lost 50 percent of their anti-aircraft forces and 40 percent of their artillery in 15 minutes.

In other words, the question is when was the “number one readiness” order issued?, and some orders, orders from September 23, 2020, at that time, Onik Gasparyan, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia fired. Has this issue been discussed, has the former military leadership clarified during their interrogations why we accepted the first strike the way we did?

If not, it’s bad, if yes, then it’s bad that they don’t respond and allow theses favorable to Andranik Kocharyan or the authorities to circulate.

On the other hand, in their timely statements, both the former Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia David Tonoyan, and former head of the General Staff Onik Gasparyan some things have been said, but it is not enough, it is necessary to shed light on the key issues that the authorities throw into the field. And Andranik Kocharyan must know very well that in the 44-day war, the management system failed first of all.

And since he also mentioned the legislation in his interview, did the Investigative Committee discuss how it is that during the war, under the conditions of martial law declared in RA, the head of the General Staff de facto has been subjected to to Nikol Pashinyan, who declared himself supreme commander, and not to the Minister of Defense, which is required by the legislation.

By the way, Can Andranik Kocharyan, who once considered the plan of using “Iskander” shameful, can say today: after all, why was it not used on the 2nd day of the war, for example?

Note that: on September 28, 2020 the briefing with journalists, during which the question: why don’t we put our “Iskander” into action, why don’t we target the enemy’s oil wells?՝ Andranik Kocharyan is tough to answer was.

“We are doing well, we will act whenever necessary. Leave that to the military professionals. I think that you do not notice chaotic, situational decisions from the logic of military operations at least these two days. You see the logic of the steps.”

Can it be said today if there was any logic in when, how and in which direction “Iskander” was finally used, and why?

Actually, this series of questions and reminders could go on, but there is no need for unnecessary repetition.

As for the fortresses, as Andranik Kocharyan says, they are not a bad thing, but they have not received a “military baptism”, and then, as we have already mentioned, if the management system does not actually exist, when all the government levels are not ready for war, then the weapons and fortresses cannot be a lifeline and ensure victory.

Has something changed in this regard, is it not the government that lost the war in Armenia, have the legislative loopholes been eliminated? I think the answer is obvious.

The statement of Kaya Kalas, head of EU diplomacy, about sending a “hybrid rapid reaction group” to Armenia was an exclusively anti-Russian statement. 168 TVof Revue this is how he assessed it on the air of the program Member of RPA council, political scientist Armen Hovasapyanspeaking on the topic of manipulation of the issue of “hybrid threats” and external interventions ahead of the National Assembly elections to be held in Armenia on June 7.

According to him, Nikol Pashinyan and his government have made a “hybrid war” during the last year, while in reality, as Armen Hovasapyan believes, they are conducting a “hybrid war” against Armenians and Armenianness.

“In my opinion, Turkey is also speaking through Kalas’ lips somewhere. Do you remember, don’t you, the Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan’s statement that they support Nikol Pashinyan in every way and will welcome him if he is re-elected and continues his policy in the Armenian-Turkish, Armenian-Azerbaijani processes? Translated from diplomatic language, it means that they want the power of Nikol Pashinyan to be reproduced in Armenia. Let’s not forget that Hakan Fidan was the head of Turkey’s counter-intelligence for a long time, and when Erdogan appointed him the minister of foreign affairs, it was not just a step taken because the head of counter-intelligence, becoming the foreign minister, we already understand what tactics and strategies he will adopt in the near future when conducting foreign policy, and this text of Fidan was expressed yesterday by Kalas, because Turkey is the representative of the West’s interests in the region, Armen added. Hovasapyan.

According to the political scientist, the “hybrid reaction” mission of the European Union itself is an open interference in the internal affairs of Armenia and in particular, in the parliamentary elections.

According to Armen Hovasapyan, Kaya Kalas is sending a “group of support” to Nikol Pashinyan. “Pashinyan and his team made the topic of “hybrid war” or “hybrid threats” a “mouthpiece”, but they don’t say it completely, they leave those loopholes, places for maneuvering, so that, for example, Allen or someone else could go to a meeting with Matvienko, Lavrov, and have a place to avoid saying, “we didn’t say anything to Russia”. In other words, this is another manipulation, when you say something, and everyone knows who you mean, but it seems that you didn’t say anything, but people who understand the case understand what it is about. The actual Kaya Kalas declares: “We listened to Nikol Pashinyan’s voice, heeded his plea in the European Parliament, and we will send a “gruppa support” to prevent a hybrid war in the elections in Armenia.”

In other words, in the elections of Armenia, when the political power should receive the primary mandate, and the National Assembly and Government will be formed, an external force will be involved in the process. This means that there will be a direct Western intervention in the internal affairs of Armenia, which will try to present reports, opinions and evaluations about the elections that are pleasing to its taste.”

Speaking about the ongoing military operations by the Israel-US coalition against neighboring Iran and the dangers and effects threatening Armenia, the political scientist expressed the opinion that the war against Iran makes the TRIPP project obsolete.

“Iran will not tolerate any program in the name of Trump near its borders. TRIPP is dead, and the war is settled as he wants. If the current regime is preserved in Iran, and the Iranian government is able to continue this whole large-scale war and preserve its civilizational model and its religious state system that exists today, the junction called TRIPP will not work,” comments the political scientist.

According to Armen Hovasapyan, if the United States takes ground operations against Iran, then Iran will not become the second “Iraq”, but the second “Vietnam” for the United States.

Let’s remind that the head of EU diplomacy Kaya Kalas at the press conference held on March 16 announced, that “the European Union, following Armenia’s request, will send a hybrid rapid response team to help counter threats ahead of the elections.” Kaya Kalas also noted. “Supporting the resilience of neighborhood democracy remains important. We will not leave Armenia alone to rebuke foreign interference. Democracies under pressure can count on Europe.”

“OhandThe speech of Narek Karapetyan, a member of the board of the “Great Armenia” party, at the presentation of the “Strong Peace” security program by Samvel Karapetyan.

Dear compatriots,

During this event, we will hear from the world’s best security experts and present the smartest programs to make our children’s lives safer.

After the elections in Armenia in June, Samvel Karapetyan will assume the responsibility of governing the country, according to all independent polls, according to thousands of signals received from people. We have a lot of work to do, to restore the damage that Pashinyan has caused to the country’s economy and security.

During the past three months, we have worked non-stop to prepare and present our economic and security plans to our people.

Every commitment in the economic program is guaranteed by Samvel Karapetyan. They are not pre-election promises. our people do not like the word “promise”, “promise” is synonymous with failure. These are clear economic steps that will be applied from the first day after Samvel Karapetyan became the Prime Minister. This will help raise the standard of living of every citizen of our country, which will help stop the decline of the population of the marzes, revitalize our communities in poverty and give a new impetus to our capital.

Dear compatriots,

We have started the economic program because a strong economy is the solid foundation on which a strong and lasting peace can be built. In today’s world, those countries that do not have a strong economy cannot fully guarantee their security, especially in such a troubled and complex region as Armenia is today.

A stronger economy means more funds, which can be directed to the development of state-of-the-art defense capabilities and weaponry, to the military. Under the Prime Ministership of Samvel Karapetyan, Armenia will expand its strategic economic ties, and its international ties will bring new investments to Armenia from different parts of the world. Today, both the East and the West are interested in a safe road from China to Europe, and historically that road passed through Armenia, and it still passes today. This is an opportunity that only a strong leader like Samvel Karapetyan can take advantage of.

Under the conditions of a weak Pashinyan, Armenia will simply agree to such economic relations in which the other side will mainly benefit, as, for example, in the case of the import of gasoline from Azerbaijan, while our citizens are still being held as hostages in their prisons.

Dear compatriots,

Many heroes who bravely fought for the defense of our motherland are present in this hall. I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart for their service. Unfortunately, they became victims of Pashinyan’s weak leadership. Armenia lost the war because of weak leadership. Today we have a historic opportunity to change that reality. They tried to stop us in the past, they failed, all of us. They will try to stop us in the future, but they will not succeed.

Who can stop your will to create a strong Armenia? People are present here whom Azerbaijan could not stop, Pashinyan will definitely not be able to.

Replacing the weak leadership of Nikol Pashinyan, which can only offer temporary peace, the strong leadership of Samvel Karapetyan guarantees a strong and lasting peace, guaranteed peace.

Today we will present in detail the security program developed by a team of leading security experts from Armenia and abroad. The security plan is based on six promises. As in the case of the economic program, as in the case of the security program, this is not a pre-election promise. This is a clear plan that Samvel Karapetyan will start implementing after becoming the prime minister, from the very first day. 

The people of Armenia are desperately looking for a strong leader today. People are tired of being weak. People are tired of the weak Pashinyan, who eats corn on the bus, instead he could at least discuss regional processes with world leaders on the phone. According to polls, more than 80% of people fear that a weak government will create new challenges for Armenia, that Armenia may be attacked by the enemy again. 80% of our society is afraid of a new attack. Pashinyan has already lost three wars, and we must stop him before he starts a new war with his weakness.

A few days ago, I met an Armenian man who, talking about the situation, told me: “Peace is not achieved by begging, especially in this region. If you beg, all you will get is war.” He is right. the only guarantee of a strong and lasting peace is to have a strong Armenia.

Let us all unite around Samvel Karapetyan, a strong leader. Let’s go into every village, every city and tell people that a real strong leader is coming to lead.

Let’s work every day for a great victory – for the victory of all of us, for a historic victory that will enable us to quickly implement the changes that Armenia needs.

In 81 days our life will change, our security will change.

This is our mission, this is our will, for the sake of a strong Armenia.

In the “Pressing” program Satik Seyranyan the guest is candidate of historical sciences Mihran Hakobyan is։

The main theses of the interview are below.

• Today, the US is actually in a deadlock because many people there have viewed Iran as a state similar to Iraq, which is not the case at all. Iran has never in history allowed anyone who wants to be an adversary to cross the Euphrates. In terms of resources, no country can beat Iran in a conventional war. A ground operation is needed to win, and Iran needs 6-7 million soldiers to win, which no one can afford. They will hurt Iran, but they cannot win. The US has already suffered $10 billion in damage, which will take a long time to recover. Two American aircraft carriers escaped because they understood that Iran can attack. In addition, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has seriously damaged the region.

• In 1979, when the USSR invaded Afghanistan, didn’t they calculate that they were entering a 10-year war? At first, they decided to solve the issue with the limited resources of the 40th Army. Now it is the same with the USA. Maybe there were calculations, maybe not. But the logic of war has changed. For example, if the PATRIOT used to shoot down missiles, now it pursues other goals. The US produces 600 of that system a year. What will he do with it: take care of his needs, provide allies? It’s complicated. In the case of Iran, the matter is complicated by the fact that Iran has been preparing for this war for many years, it knew that it would suffer heavy losses and is acting in advance. with a planned plan. Iran’s missiles are hidden in the mountains, almost undetectable. The overthrow of Iran’s military-political leadership will, of course, affect Iran, but it will not be of critical importance, because Iran knows when, who and with whom it will be replaced. Iran’s leadership consciously went to martyrdom:

• From Trump’s press conferences in recent days, it can be seen that he is also at a dead end, he doesn’t know what to do. Humanity, unfortunately, does not learn from history. There are already reports that Trump has asked Putin to help in negotiations with the leadership of Iran… The same Putin, whose country they allegedly did something against and demonized Putin… 

• It is not excluded that they made an “assumption” against Trump, or presented something else, while the reality is completely different.

• Iran will demand a price for the ceasefire. Trump started the war together with Israel when he wanted, but ending the war will not be decided by the USA alone, because the other party will want a big price. Donald Trump has started a war in the Middle East that will be very difficult to stop. That’s not how life and politics work. Trump cannot say like Nicole: whatever happens, we will not consider ourselves defeated and go home:

• During the entire history of the existence of the Islamic Republic, Iran’s foreign policy actions did not contain elements of religious fanaticism. 

• It is never possible to hear the representatives of the Shiite sect say, let’s do jihad in, for example, Denmark, or go blow up Paris.:

• It is a political and social axiom. the minority is always more purposeful, more organized, and therefore more passionate and aggressive. That’s what sectarian, religious groups are like in the US.

• In the last 30 years, everyone has understood that the United States is a paper tiger and cannot even compete with middle-class countries such as Iran. He’s targeting weak countries like Yugoslavia, Venezuela, and so on. At this point, it’s obvious that Trump is panicking, he doesn’t know how to end this war, because it’s obvious that nobody is going to go to a ground war against Iran. They start the war when they want and end it when they can. Now, I repeat, it does not depend on the USA. There is no expert in the USA who is not amazed by this war, they do not understand why it was needed. For the first time, a majority of the US population is not on the side of Israel. People see that led by Netanyahu Today, Israel is Mr. Genocide, they have seen what Israel has done in Palestine, Gaza and other areas, it is doing what the Nazis did in the past.:

• How did you decide that, for example, France or Israel should have nuclear weapons and Iran should not? What is missing, why can’t it have, is there a parameter by which it is possible to say that it is fair for the French to have nuclear weapons and, for example, the Iranians not?

• The developments of recent years have shown that the country that has nuclear weapons is sovereign. Well, let them try to do the same with North Korea as they are doing with Iran today. even nuclear weapons will fall on American cities. Life proved that the right one was North Korea. How can one allow the leader of one country to steal from the leader of another country? What is stealing or destroying a head of state? Throughout human history, there has always been respect for enemy leaders. The rules of the game have changed today. In the 21st century, a member of the United Nations, a democratically formed head of state is assassinated. What’s wrong with Trump, he’s over 80, he’s here today, he’s gone tomorrow, what about the others? Many countries realize this and try to distance themselves from the USA. Trump’s policies will have consequences in both the medium and long term:

• Of course, there are several different versions, but it is not excluded that Iran, although it denied it, sent an anti-aircraft missile in the direction of Nakhichevan itself as a warning to Azerbaijan. In Iran, they understand, don’t they, what small airports like Nakhijevan and similar airports are for. They are ideal for organizing UAV flights. And they understand it well in Iran. Aliyev Artsakh in 2020 Didn’t they give it just like that… Aliyev will have to pay the price for what he got in Nagorno Karabakh. that victory was given to him in advance in 2020, not because of Aliyev’s beautiful eyes…

• If Aliyev sends humanitarian aid to Iran, it means that he is in a very difficult situation. Aliyev himself will not decide whether to attack Iran from his territory or not. When they say, he will do it. The moment he refused, the next second he will not be in power, Gaddafi’s day will fall. Ahudoghov is waiting so that he doesn’t suddenly get a call like this, so that they don’t tell him that you have to give up your territory to carry out flights and strikes against Iran… We don’t know if Aliyev and Israel agreed on the price of Artsakh, or if they told him to wait, we will tell you.:

• As Aliyev says, we use Armenia’s airspace without asking, they have the same perception about land routes. Who should they ask, Nikol Pashinyan… are you serious… Nikol Pashinyan can be taken to participate in various events, political weaklings will be thrown against him, he will feel good wearing Gorbachev’s hat, he will come here, he will sell to the people…

• During the Soviet years, Moscow did not want Azerbaijan to have direct contact with Nakhichevan, because in 1920-21, when the borders were drawn, there is a writing about it, the Bolsheviks decided to give Karabakh to Azerbaijan, Zangezur remains uncertain, and they give Nakhichevan to Armenia. But it didn’t happen like that, an interim decision was made to create an autonomous republic. Why an autonomous republic, because 43% of the population were Armenians, the status was decided, the Armenians did not disintegrate, and the Syunik issue was resolved, because Syunik was the wedge that the Turks said was stuck between Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan. And we are indebted to Anastas for the road connecting Armenia to Iran Mikoyan. Like Heydar Aliyev in the 1980s, now his son wants a big road, a track on which Armenia will not have sovereignty. This was ensured by TRIPP, which has lost its relevance as a result of Trump’s watery policies. Trump solved the conflict of decades, the blood of thousands of victims with a watery approach, in front of the cameras, with his mouth open, with a smile… Trump was not solving a problem, but a PR issue for American domestic politics:

• European political elites are far more depraved and ignorant than American elites, and Europeans are paying the price. The European authorities today are a group of ignoramuses whose foreign policy is run by a gang of puppets. They are applauding for the loss of Karabakh, and this is when Aliyev did in Karabakh what the Nazis did in Germany:

• Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidani, US Vice President J.D. Vance, European officials, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaya Kalas, about support for Nikol Pashinyan in these elections. Nikol was given carte blanche, saying: go ahead, do whatever you want, fake the elections, the votes as much as you want, we stand behind you… Does the fact that the Armenian people are disappointed with the United States change much in the life of that country? They want to remove the Russians from the region, bring the Turks to their place, and that’s it, the Armenian people are very interested? 

• What everyone has done and what to do is clear, but it is not clear: what do the Armenian people want, do they want to have a state or do they want to become Turkish vassals?

Armenia is preparing for elections, what do the election participants say? They are in the same populist line, and for some reason, they say: Armenian people want this, we give it. They do not take into account public opinion, they shape it. And have you tried to shape public opinion? Why did you decide that this is what the people want in this degraded information flow? What is the difference between you and Nicole? There is no word on what we will do about the Karabakh issue. Did we digest it? In the end, they will say: well, Nikol was a traitor, he gave away Karabakh, clap your hands, move on… Generations will pass, let’s wait, let’s see when Azerbaijan will collapse, how will this issue be resolved… Is this what he wants? our people. If this is what our nation wants, then I and many others are not from this nation. And since there are many of us who think like this, I think our nation does not want that. Our national elite, our political parties offer nothing for many different reasons. One considers that it is not worth being good or bad with Russia and the other with America. Well, can we at least talk about Karabakh?

• Armenians do not decide whether the Artsakh issue is open or closed. This is reality and geopolitics, and you cannot ignore it. When the Kremlin’s direct agent liberal Venediktov comes to Yerevan, he manages to give 50 interviews in a few days, he meets different people in different cafes all day, no one pays attention to the fact that in his interviews he draws a red line with the idea that you do not decide whether to open or close the issue of Artsakh. At some point, it will be in the interests of some superpower to open the issue of Artsakh, therefore, is it possible to be a subject, not an object? 

• How many pennies are those pan-Armenian parties worth if they are not able to make noise about the Artsakh issue in the countries where they live? Don’t they have someone to go and stand in front of the White House with a poster? I’m not saying anything resourceful. I’m not saying that you haven’t been able to create a competitive media outlet in the US for so many years that will form an opinion. They cannot publish an article in the leading media. Let them, another time they will talk about pan-Armenian agendas, they will say: we are a global nation, we have pan-Armenian parties. What happened to Artsakh made it clear that all these are myths.

It turned out that dying for the Motherland was also a myth… It turned out that there can be a government in Armenia that Artsakh can hand over, bow to the Turks and remain glued to its seat until today. Do you remember, don’t you, that the land grantor was given the land for 800 hectares, which, later on, turned out to be a false number… Today, the public is in public drunkenness. its end is either death or awakening. When you wanted to stand up, achieve something, you did it, when you wanted to put yourself in the place of something big, you failed. If a person is sick, he must come to terms with that reality and be treated. A diagnosis must be made.

• There is no example in the history of the world when the country switched to a professional army and was not destroyed.

• You lost and you lost badly, Armenian people, you were humiliated. And until the Armenian nation accepts this and stops putting itself in the place of an ostrich, it will continue like this all the time. But it has a limit. It’s going to break somewhere. You cannot forever not understand that you have been defeated, humiliated. Well, what are we doing? you have to come together, go ahead and win. 

• Our financial and economic elite, who take advantage of the benefits of this country, have a pirate mentality. He has rights and no responsibilities, their children should not serve. We should give the money, let other people’s children serve. There isn’t a country in the world that went through a professional army and didn’t rot in the end. This is how Rome exploded. There is no such example in the world. 

• We are walking on the edge of a knife, anything can happen here, geopolitical interests can change, and after 48 hours, Nikol Pashinyan will not be there, because he is glued to the prime minister’s chair purely as a result of geopolitical consensus.:

• The favorite power of the opposition is the power of Samvel Karapetyan, who was subjected to political persecution for just one sentence, he was imprisoned and is still under house arrest because he said: we will protect the church in our own way. If Samvel Karapetyan was a member of a mafia clan, related to a terrorist organization, then one could think that his wording “in our way” could be dangerous, but the person was unjustly imprisoned, and today he is going to the elections in this anti-democratic environment… 

• The political forces that want to go to the elections should be ready for 2021. the scenario that resulted in the depopulation of Artsakh. Let them decide. My approach was to achieve a change of power through street pressure, through impeachment, through constitutional means:
