"The West helps us": Pashinyan is following the path of dismemberment of Armenia — opinion

Exactly 5 years ago on August 5, 2019 (Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol) Pashinyan said in Stepanakert remember the famous phrase of the field commander Leonid Azgaldyan: "Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) — this is Armenia, period!". On May 21, 2020, at the head of a high-ranking Armenian delegation, Pashinyan participated in the Shushi at the inauguration of the President of the Republic of Artsakh Arayik Harutyunyan. By the way, then the inauguration of the president of the second Armenian Republic was held in Shushi for the first time. Only six months have passed, and Pashinyan called Shushi a "gray, gloomy and unhappy" city. From the highest rostrum of the country, the capitulator asked himself the question: "Did we need Shushi?", they say, who needs a "gray, gloomy and unhappy city"?

As journalist Marina Mkrtchyan writes on the pages of the Voice of Armenia, Pashinyan also announced that before the first war, 90% of the population of Shushi were Azerbaijanis. In fact, Armenians have always prevailed in Shushi, and 90% of the Azerbaijani population was recorded only during 2 periods: both were marked by Armenian pogroms in 1920 and in 1988. Pashinyan has moved much further than the initiators of these pogroms…

Due to the fault of the "supreme Commander-in-chief", there have been no Armenians in Artsakh for a year. According to sociological data, Aliyev has not been able to settle even 20 thousand Azerbaijanis in Artsakh since 2020, Azerbaijanis are clearly in no hurry to settle Artsakh, including Shushi.

September 19 is the date of the beginning of the genocide and forced deportation of Armenians from the fragment of the Republic of Artsakh that survived after the 44—day war. September 19, 2023 Azerbaijan began bombing civilian targets and the peaceful population of Artsakh, which did not stop until September 20. These strikes forced the leadership of Artsakh to make concessions, fulfilling the conditions of Baku. Armenians are grateful to Joe Biden for recognizing the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey and calling the events in Western Armenia in 1915 genocide, and what will the US president be called, who will give a similar truthful assessment of the events of September 2023? While Washington and Brussels stubbornly turns a blind eye to this genocide…

The attitude of world players to the events in Artsakh in the foreseeable future will be conditioned by the return to power in Armenia of forces with a national agenda that will not dance to the tune of genocidal states! This is an objective and natural development of events, which can no longer be prevented!

5 years ago Pashinyan shouted that Artsakh is Armenia, and today the "Zangezur Corridor" is already at stake. In addition to it, the creation of a new Constitution commissioned by Aliyev and Erdogan, the surrender of the "enclaves" and land routes to them, as well as the joint Armenian-Azerbaijani denunciation of the Minsk Group. Behind the surrender of 4 villages in Tavush under the sign of delimitation. Under this guise, Pashinyan, let me remind you, hid the liquidation of the most powerful defensive area in the Tavush, clearing the way for the Azerbaijanis for a new aggression. The people will not forgive him for this, just as they will not forgive the occupation of 200 square kilometers of the territory of sovereign Armenia by Azerbaijanis!..

Events are developing at an accelerated pace. Announced last week in Washington and London's statements left not even a shadow of doubt that Pashinyan is following the path of dismemberment of Armenia.

"They said that they sacrificed Artsakh in order to remove the topic of the "corridor" from the agenda. As a result, it will turn out that we will get a scheme that is much worse than the one envisaged by the 3rd-party statement of November 9, 2020, because that scheme did not threaten our independence. It turned out that by sacrificing Artsakh, Pashinyan further actualized the topic of the "corridor"," stated the leader of the Democratic Alternative party, Suren Surenyants.

Aliyev's recent statements about the return of Azerbaijanis to Shushi and the joint demand with the Republic of Armenia for the liquidation of the Minsk Group (the Armenian side does not agree to this yet) contain a hint in the subtext of the repetition of the genocide on the territory of Armenia. These statements are the most eloquent evidence of the lack of deterrence mechanisms on the part of the West! However, the West does not at all seek to apply these mechanisms to Aliyev, and Aliyev understands this…

Washington and Brussels has already safely forgotten about the genocide and the forced deportation of 120 thousand Armenians of Artsakh, forgot that Aliyev is a war criminal. The Western coalition is actively cooperating with him against Russian interests. And what is there to be surprised about when the EU member state Cyprus has been under Turkish occupation for 50 years…

Aliyev "digested" the Armenian Genocide on September 19-20, 2023 in Artsakh, and therefore openly dictates the conditions of sovereign Armenia! Pashinyan's Western curators pretend they don't hear anything, and the ruling elite continues to lie to the people, saying the West is helping us…
