Serzh Sargsyan As a Political Dismantler: 2021-2026

Compensation for Rent and Social Contrast: How Pashinyan’s Government Is Distributing Budgetary Funds

From Haykakan Zhamanak to the “Velvet Revolution”: How Mikael Minasyan Tries to Conceal His Role
NewsDespite Mikael Minasyan’s efforts to reframe his actions as mere “mistakes of a human being,” reality tells a different story.

A Choice Without Illusions: Why the Reproduction of Pashinyan’s Power Threatens Armenia’s Future
News, WitnessesThe reproduction of Nikol Pashinyan’s power constitutes a direct threat to the national security, territorial integrity, and historical future of the Republic of Armenia.

Armenia at Historical Milestone: The Cost of a Wrong Choice
NewsThe reality is clear and unforgiving: the incumbent authorities do not enjoy the support of the majority of the population. If more than 50 percent of eligible voters participate in the elections, the re-election of Nikol Pashinyan becomes highly unlikely. His continued hold on power rests largely on public despair, fear, and low voter turnout.

“Against All” Works for Pashinyan and Turkish Interests: Public Tribunal’s Opinion
NewsThe idea of a new political platform, “Against All,” has been widely discussed in Armenia in recent months.

От Геноцида до идеологической пустоты: тревожный диагноз Ара Арутюняна
NewsКризис, переживаемый Арменией сегодня, носит прежде всего интеллектуальный и нравственный характер.

Без этого любые перемены будут неизбежно поверхностными и недолговечными.

Revolutionary Promises of the Authorities and Reality
NewsIn practice, the promised “justice for everyone” has turned into a new form of selectivity, where loyalty to the system is placed above the law, and law-enforcement bodies perform the function of preserving the status quo rather than protecting citizens.

Morale of Heroes Against Defeatism: Abajyan, Andreasyan vs. Pashinyan’s PR Prisoners
NewsThe heroic deeds of Armenian servicemen run counter to the value system that Nikol Pashinyan’s team is gradually embedding in public discourse.

Millions for the Authorities – “Insurance” for Pensioners
NewsWhen the authorities conceal their own incomes, multiply their expenditures, and lecture pensioners on what is supposedly “better” for them, this is neither an error nor a flaw.

How Karabakh Was Ceded: From Orchestrated Conflict to Diplomatic Dismantling
NewsThe loss of Karabakh became one of the most dramatic events in Armenia’s recent history. Yet the widespread perception that it was merely the result of military defeat or a series of tragic miscalculations oversimplifies reality. Karabakh was not simply lost; it was gradually removed from the political framework in which it still had at least some chance to exist in one form or another. This was not a single moment of failure, but a multi-stage process unfolding over years and formalized through diplomacy.

Sharmazanov Is Lying About the RPA’s “Fight” to Conceal His Responsibility for Pashinyan
NewsHowever, there is one crucial point: Sharmazanov is blatantly lying when he claims that the RPA “really fought” against Nikol Pashinyan's government.
