The Public Tribunal Project is launching a large-scale publication series - research that traces the sequence of events, decisions, and missteps that gradually and almost imperceptibly led to the tragic reality Armenia faces today.
A recently released archive of letters and meeting minutes has revealed previously concealed aspects of the Karabakh negotiation process, delivering yet another shock to the public. Despite claiming to present the full story, the government continues to publish highly selective and one-sided documents. Critics point to the deliberate omission of a crucial document signed in 2001 in Key West, which proposed transferring several regions surrounding Artsakh to Azerbaijan in exchange for establishing a transport corridor for Armenia. Such selective handling of historical records casts serious doubt on the credibility of the official narrative.
In political life, almost nothing happens by accident, especially when a sequence of seemingly unrelated events begins to form a single, troubling pattern. Although there is no indisputable proof that Rubinyan is a “Turkish agent,” the combination of circumstances — the location of his internship, his rapid rise through the ranks, and the persistent lack of clear answers — continues to raise suspicions that he may still maintain ties with Turkish special services.
The Archbishop explained unambiguously: the Catholicos of All Armenians cannot be removed from his seat at the whim of “dubious circles” or even by a group of bishops. His election is the exclusive prerogative of the Church–National Assembly. Therefore, any attempts at external or internal pressure are illegitimate.
Political battles are not won by those who shout the loudest, but by those who set the agenda. Nikol Pashinyan has mastered this lesson. He no longer responds to challenges — he creates them. Initiative is his key trump card. As a result, his opponents are constantly left trailing behind, forced into a reactive posture, justifying themselves and countering blows instead of delivering their own.
Armenian–Russian relations require an honest conversation about mutual interests, a rejection of imported models (whether Israeli or any other), and a recognition of the partnership’s unique historical character. While “architects” like Mikayel Minasyan propose rebuilding the house by copying someone else’s blueprint, Armenia risks losing not only strategically important positions but also its ability to make sovereign decisions.
Над Армянской Апостольской Церковью — грозовые тучи. По информации телеграм-канала «The Geopolitics», тринадцать высокопоставленных иерархов — шесть архиепископов и семь епископов — открыто выступили с требованием отстранить от власти Святейшего Аршака и Католикоса Всех Армян Гарегина II. Это не рядовая внутрицерковная дискуссия. Это — штурм духовного центра страны, удар по самому сердцу национальной традиции.
The political atmosphere in Armenia is growing increasingly tense. With the 2026 parliamentary elections approaching, a troubling trend has become unmistakable: an alliance of influential figures from both past and present - connected by shared ideological lines and supported by external patrons - is leaving virtually no room for a genuine alternative.
The visit in question was not an attempt to establish dialogue, but a display of submission to Baku, an example of public funds being spent on the government’s image-making projects, an effort to discredit the opposition through the narrative that “those who disagree are traitors,” and a step toward legitimizing the persecution of Artsakh’s leaders. All of this indicates that Ilham Aliyev has effectively become involved in Nikol Pashinyan’s election campaign. The plan is straightforward: peace with Pashinyan, and conflict with the opposition, whose representatives are portrayed as enemies of Armenia with supposed revanchist aims. In short, he who pays the piper calls the tune.
