YEREVAN—Following the mass displacement of Artsakh’s Armenian population to Armenia, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s administration has opted to confer “temporary protection status” on the refugees, who are already in possession of Armenian passports.
Dr. Nyree Derderian, former chairperson of the Armenian Relief Society (ARS) Central Executive Board, raised concerns about the Armenian government's decision. “The decision to grant ‘temporary protection status’ to Armenians

As a stateless person of Armenian descent, this is outrageous.
Here is the reality of what it means to deprive someone of their nationality:

Massive movements need to rise to demand the removal of Pashinyan. He is incompetent and a traitor to all Armenians. HE DECLARED Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan. Imagine that? He sat back as they were first starved and then had to flee for their lives. He cant be trusted to secure Armenia’s interests and or future.
One more thing: The real reason that these people are denied citizenship is because it also denies them their rightful ability to vote. To be able to bring real change and real competent patriotic leadership to Armenia. The fraud PM knows very well that everyone of those that fled will never ever vote for a traitor that declared Karabakh, ancient Armenian lands, as “part of Azerbaijan”.
Wow ! Now all killing all your brother and sister. Now Armenian want to Remove PASHINYAN IGNORANT IS LIVE ! He should been gone long time go
Any reason as to why he is doing this? Aren’t these people from Armenia originally?
Lahamcun is arabik “literally means dough with meat”
As Georges said, Lahm-B’aajeen (that you grossly pronounce lahmacun (turkish spelling) is an arabic word. It sprouted by armenians in syria and Lebanon, and it took a local (arabic name) as many armenian dishes in turkey took a turkish name.
On the other hand, you seem to be turkish, a troll most probably.
As for your scornful expression “These people”, They are armenians originally from Artsakh.
They are the descendants of armenians who have lived there for over 2000 years.
And these people should go back to their homes in Artsakh, under international protection and guarantee, because azerbaijan which has now control over the land, proved to be a terrorist dictatorial state.
Now I would love to hear your considerate reaction. To make it easy for you, you can start with Lahm-b’aajeen. But it’s the second part which interests me.
This traitor is going to have to sleep with one eye open.
it’s nonsense, if we want a strong country we must naturalize all Armenians in the world, not just those from Arstakh. Ultimately the problem is not our enemies, it’s us.
I would not be surprised if he deports them back to Azerbaijan!
With all due respect to everyone, As much as I hate Pashinyan for incompetence, treason, stupidity, stubbornness, and all the torts that he incarnates, in this matter, whether by an improbable spark of lucidity or by internal political calculations (which seem more likely), is doing the right thing.
Artsakh armenians have to be encouraged to return to their lands, to the armenian lands of Artsakh.
We in the diaspora have to make everything possible to mobilise world powers to assure a safe return of all Artsakh armenians to their homes, and a safe and prosperous existence there, even if under azerbaijani citizenship.
It would be an enormous strategic error (a fatal error) to abandon Artsakh.
I know, one could say, for us sitting here, talk is easy.
But we shouldn’t fall into the trap of short-sightedness.
