First “official” phone call, maybe. But Pashinyan, being a Turkish secret service agent just like Omega Arabat and the rest of Civil Contract, has no doubt spoken with Erdogan many times over years.
It’s only natural that two Turks speak with each other over the phone.
What possible positive outcome can anyone expect from a phone call between the unpatriotic and defeatist Armenian leader and the genocide denier Islamo-fascist terrorist leader of criminal Turkey? None of course! Whenever there is any kind of deal made between the incompetent and dysfunctional Armenian leadership and the leadership of terrorist Turkey rest-assured Armenia and the Armenian people will suffer. If you think Turkey will come to any kind of agreement over any issue that will even remotely be beneficial to Armenia then you should see a shrink ASAP! We were witness to Turkish trickery back in 2009 and during the so-called football diplomacy when they officially, and in front of the whole world, agreed to the opening of borders unconditionally but reneged on the agrrement soon after and put preconditions for the ratification of this agreement in favor of our enemy next door the pseudo-Turkish artificial Azerbaijan. Simply put, they can never be trusted. I have no doubt they must have known in advance that artificial Azerbaijan would throw a temper tantrum about this agreement but they went ahead with it anyway because their TRUE intention was to cleverly but cunningly to portray themselves to the world as reconciliatory towards Armenia in order to throw the definite and official Armenian Genocide recognition by the United States of course at the time. In hindsight, the failure of the agreement turned out to be a blessing for the Armenian nation and a victory for the Armenian people worldwide.
It was not Armenia that closed borders with Turkey in 1993. It was the terrorist Turkish leadership that did so, with no provocations whatsoever from Armenia towards Turkey, and under the disguise of support for their pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijani criminal collaborator but in reality they did so for cheap Caspian oil and multi-billion dollar investment projects transporting Caspian oil & gas to Europe. Opening of the borders is a Turkish problem and not an Armenian one. They closed it so they should be the ones opening it. But as usual, they make it an Armenian problem so they can get concessions on various fronts from the naïve and unpatriotic Armenian leadership. I also have no doubt that any secret concessions that Armenia makes will be tied to Artsakh issue as well. If these two terrorist Turkish and pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijani criminal states, having absolutely nothing in common other than an Armenian enemy, can falsely and cunningly refer to each other as “two states, one nation”, a euphemism for the destruction of the Armenian statehood, rest-assured they are both in on this scheme.
What does opening land borders between the two countries to enable the crossing of “third-country” citizens even mean? This is preposterous and humiliating. This is not any kind of “peace” agreement between Armenia and Turkey at all. This is a way of turning Armenian territory into a convenient transit route for citizens of other countries to increase Turkish trade and tourism. As stated in this article and despite closed borders, if the 2019 trade figures are any indication of future trades (98% Turkish exports to Armenia vs 2% Armenian exports to Turkey) we can safely assume this FALSE “peace” agreement benefits Turkey only.
They should have quietly reopened it without fanfare. If you remember, when it was closed it was done very quickly, no delay, no meetings.
Hey Armenian‘s of the world get used to calling yourself gypsies also known as people without the land.
Because in two or three years there will not be any Armenians left in Armenia
Hello Ararat,
In my humble opinion, crossings of third ” country citizens “, as you put it, means, Erdogan will soon open the flood gates, and let Syrian refugees, Turk ISIS mercenaries, Uyghur refugees, and other unwanted thugs to enter Armenia, and establish permanent residency around less inhabited provinces illegally , to further Erdogan’s future land grabbing ambitions without firing a shot. These 560,000 nomads who voted for, Baboon Pashinyan , will soon join their long lost ancestors. Happy days are ahead awaiting you, Makunts.
Hi Jay,
I agree with you because anything and everything is expected of this opportunist Islamo-fascist Turkish terrorist and loud mouth rabid barking dog Er-dog-an. He already has brought and settled ISIS terrorists in Armenian territories reoccupied in the last terroristic war which his criminal defense ministry planned, provoked and conducted on behalf of the filthy leadership of pseudo-Turkish artificial Azerbaijan. They all must be wiped out. Anything is possible from these Turkish and pseudo-Turkish fascist leaders. They have already Turkified several border regions of Georgia over the last few decades by enticing them with lucrative businesses and revenues from oil & gas pipelines going through Georgian territory. I’m convinced by doing so they wanted to further blockade Armenia and open another front against our homeland. These are some of the many reasons why we need a TRUE patriot in charge of the Armenian government instead of the current incompetent, defeatist, dysfunctional and treasonous sorry excuse for a leader. We need someone who will put the interests and the security of the homeland above all else. Someone who understands how the tricky racist enemy thinks and will take action and put laws in place to avoid all of the things you mentioned. We also need a very strong, dedicated and sophisticated intelligence services agency that will make a priority vetting and scrutinizing very closely any and all movements into the country by groups and individuals associated with these two terrorist cesspools. These two are the traditional enemies of our nation and state and must never be trusted.
Genocide denier Er-dog-an’s two famous remarks:
1. Democracy is like a train: when you reach your destination, you get off.
2. The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers.
The same roads that where build to conker the world, where used to conker Rome
Basically, it comes down to this: Armenian PM Pashinyan spoke confidently in 2019; then he was defeated in the 2020 Karabakh War; in the years after the 2020 War, PM Pashinyan shows the weak resolve of a defeated leader, he’s a beaten man who caves into enemy demands, in the hope that what’s left will be spared. B
asically, PM Pashinyan is crippled by defeat, and more harmful than helpful. It would be best to replace him, but doesn’t seem to be happening.
