Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has hinted repeatedly since the 2020 Artsakh War that Artsakh is a part of Azerbaijan. This has been his position for years. As a journalist, long before coming to power, he thought of Artsakh as a burden on Armenia.
Pashinyan told the Armenian Parliament in April 2022 that the international community has urged Armenia to lower the bar on the status of Artsakh. Earlier this year, a Parliament member of Pashinyan’s party made the following defeatist statement: we cannot risk three million Armenians for 120,000 people in Artsakh.

Pashinyan must be backed up by all Christian Armenians, Genuine Christian, who want to live in peace with their neighbors and stop the shedding of Armenian blood.
Yes Genuine Christians who starve 150,000 people and pretend it is peace
Regarding #2, that’s true, he hasn’t actually said it so far. I think, Alief is afraid of saying that. Seriously.
What about their 86 thou, how did that enormous figure come to be (the size of Austria no less)?
His entire life, Nikol dreamed of abandoning Artsakh, forgetting about the Armenian Genocide, unconditionally opening Armenia’s borders with Azerbaijan and Turkey and, last but not least, bring Armenia out of Russia’s orbit his entire life. Nikol’s character naturally did not escape the attention of foreign intelligence services. Western and Turkish interests, in many cases via Diasporan entities, placed Nikol into power in 2018 exactly for this purpose. To it’s utter disgrace, the Armenian world, both native and diasporan, preferred to keep Nikol in power not, once but twice. That’s when Russia, Armenia’s only natural ally, pulled its protective hand away just so slightly. In other words, Moscow did not allow the political crisis in Armenia to go to waste. Moscow reigned in Yerevan by appeasing Baku. The rest is history as they say. All in all, the last 5 years in Armenia was the toxic by-product of Armenian-style political illiteracy, Western-style democracy and self-destructive effort by official Yerevan to use the West as a hedge against Russia. In a nutshell, this is how the country ended up where it is today.
Consequently, Armenians, including Diasporans, have no right to complain today, as they were the main authors of the country’s latest tragedy…
Concerned Armenian, Russia is a spent force. They couldn’t even capture flat lands of Ukraine and had to seek help of a mercenary force to help capture Bakhmut. It took them months to capture a small town. So relying upon mother Russia for anything but foolhardy. Russia is currently buckling under the strain of this invasion to such an extent that it may crumble into several pieces.
There are 14 Turkic republics in Russia proper which are Adygea, Altai, Bashkortostan, Buryatia, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, Sakha, Tatarstan, Tuva, Khakassia, Chechnya, Chuvashia.
Some of these republics are rich in oil and gas while some like Tatarstan and Bashkortostan while being rich in oil and gas also make Jet Engines and Satellite Launch vehicles, Nuclear Reactors. If Russia dismantles following the Ukraine war, these republics will become independent.
I still didn’t hear Alief recognize the 29,800 sq kilometers in yesterday’s meeting. Seems he is not planning to, yet nobody is talking about that.
