STEPANAKERT, Artsakh — Union. Struggle. Victory. These have been the calls in Renaissance Square in Stepanakert, where spontaneous rallies have been taking place for several days following Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s comments in the National Assembly. Thousands took to the streets in Yerevan and Stepanakert after the Prime Minister made contradictory statements on his readiness to sign another agreement with Azerbaijan that could brand him a “traitor.”

Nikol dreamed of abandoning Artsakh and unconditionally opening up Armenia to Turks and Azeris his entire adult life. He even wrote about it as far back as the early 2000s. This is why Western and Turkish money brought him to power in 2018. He had a task to do. It was therefore obvious back in 2018 that Armenia would suffer a defeat in Artsakh.
Had it not been for Russia’s last minute military intervention on Nobember 9, 2020, all of Artsakh would have fallen to the Azeris and a genocide of Armenians there would have taken place.
Fast forward to last werk. The recent border fighting errupted as soon as Russia suffered a serious setback in Ukraine. Nikol’s regime was aware that an attack will take place a week before it happened. Instead of mobilizing Armenia’s armed forces to thwart the attack, he publicly called on Russia to save Armenia. Nikol and his Western and Turkish benefactors understood that Russia is in no shape or mood to start a war with Azerbaijan- especially for a Western and Turkish financed regime in Armenia. Nikol’s appeal to the CSTO was therefore done to make Russia look bad, foment anti-Russian hyteria among the Armenian peasantry and open the door for Pelosi’s visit to Armenia – which is primarily meant to further muddy the waters and drive a wedge between Russia, Iran and Armenia.
Put aside everything you think you know about the situation in Armenia and Artsakh and watch these two video reports. Nikol’s regime is allowing Western and Turkish interests to draw Armenia into a very dangerous game against Russia and Iran. If this continues, Armenians will face another genocide in the foreseeable future.

Thank you for the link to the Almassian interview. A real eye opener.
Unfortunately, it was Russia and the Russian puppets in Armenia that sold you into the hands of the Turks. You must reject Russia or you will disappear. Russia is Armenia’s problem and it’s time to understand that. It was Russia that caused the unfavorable borders of Armenia in 1921 in Kars, it was Russia that contributed to the First Karabakh war (Operation Kolco), it was Russia that did not want to end the dispute, it was Russia that sold modern weapons to Azerbaijan (2/3 of the equipment purchased since 2010 for the Azerbaijan army). is from Russia), Russia did not support Armenia in 2020, Russia did not react to Azerbaijan’s attack now, it even supported it. Russia is your enemy – remember.
Bad days are ahead, it’s just beginning. What else they can do while international community sleeping.
Why are you looking to the international community? Why don’t you ask Armenia to recognize Artsakh? Is Armenia sleeping too?
We Armenians ourselves first and foremost, those in leadership positions primarily, are responsible for the situation the nation is in. The rest is the manipulation of the events over the years by those in charge to absolve themselves of any wrongdoings by kicking the can down the road to pass blames onto others.
The situation the country is in did not start two or four or ten years ago. It started with our victory back in 1994. Despite all odds, our leaders defeated the enemy and won the war imposed on us but failed to bring the war to its natural and intended conclusion which should have been the full capitulation of the enemy and reunification and integration of liberated territories with Armenia followed by populating these territories with native Armenians and developing them. Instead they signed a fragile ceasefire agreement with an enemy that was destroyed, was at its weakest, and was at our complete mercy. This turned out to be the most precious gift our short-sighted leaders gave to the enemy to get back on its feet to fight another day and the rest is history.
Why don’t we see hundreds of thousands in the streets? Pashinyan’s government has always been anti Karabakh, anti Russia and anti Iran. Majority of Armenians are too dumbed down and self engrossed to understand it. Nikol is playing with fire. The longer he manages to stay in power, the worst will the situation get.
Armenia is not in a position to recognize the Artsakh, as it’s internationally recognize as a Azari area. Moreover Armenia sign the ‘Peace accord’ where she recognize the area as Azerbaijan, this is the reality.
