The intolerance of committed liberals
Police state? With even higher press freedom than countries like the US?
You guys even heavily moderate this website, disallowing comments that deviate from the ARF agenda. Once again, you guys advertise to the world how terrible Armenia is, while Armenia is on the cusp of nonexistence. Instead of unity, the ARF brings division.

What has press freedom to do with police brutality which has been soundly condemned by many NGO’s?
I am not advertising anything to the world. Nikol is the one who is embarrassing Armenia in front of the whole world. I am merely reporting the facts. That’s my job.

The traitor Pashinyan himself caused the division in Armenia, not the patriotic ARF and other Armenian patriots. His disastrous leadership – more precisely the lack thereof, his inexperience, his indecision, his cowardice, his appeasement and his betrayal of Artsakh and of Armenia, is the cause for the terrible situation, mess and bitter division in Armenia. The only method for Pashinyan to stay power, is thus only by repression. The more this cancer stays in power, the more he will wreak havoc on Armenia. Pashinyan and his allies must be deposed, before the condition of Armenia becomes terminal.
