  1. “Not even a single millimeter of land has been surrendered from the region of Syunik,” insisted PM Pashinyan ….A complete lie just like everything else.. The fact of capitulation clearly indicates he has no potion upon which to negotiate. He is the loser of Armenian lands and its security… His position is one of weakness while dragging Armenia’s fate and future with him. He needs to be rid and unfortunately will not do so until this ruin disaster is solidified. Hes a traitor in my eyes….
