While many of those claims led to the initiation of criminal cases, some were never investigated. CivilNet has compiled a list of several such instances.

Pashinyan Targets One of the Foundational Pillars of Armenian History

,
Pashinyan is setting a dangerous precedent - not only by interfering in the internal affairs of the Church, but by attempting to bring it under the control of a secular government in a country where the Church is far more than just a religious institution. The potential consequences of this move could prove far more serious for Armenia than the proposed changes to the Constitution or even the state emblem.

How Nikol Pashinyan Managed to Turn Us Into His Advocates – An Opinion

How is it even possible that, in a country where tens of thousands of displaced Artsakh Armenians remain homeless, prisoners of war are still in captivity, the wounded and disabled are neglected, Artsakh has been physically erased, migration is surging, and social and economic problems are overwhelming—this is the issue we wake up to?

Tatev Hayrapetyan: Pashinyan and Pashazade “Pass the Ball” – A Game Against the Armenian Apostolic Church

“Football Diplomacy” and “Velvet Reshuffle”: How London Used Serzh Sargsyan

,
Taking into account the involvement of Armenia’s third president and his son-in-law, Mikayel Minasyan, in facilitating the 2018 “velvet revolution,” there is reason to believe that Serzh Sargsyan has been using Nikol Pashinyan to carry out the commitments made to Turkey in 2009 under the so-called “football diplomacy.”

Hayk Demoyan: Pashinyan Engaged in Agent Activities Against Armenia

, ,
He is engaged in crude agent activity. He speaks about Western Armenia only because we are making claims against Turkey. By drawing such comparisons, Pashinyan casts doubt on the fact of the Genocide and seeks to erase the fact that Armenians were deprived of their homeland.

By Denying Genocide, Pashinyan Hands Armenia to the Turkish Yatagan

, , ,
His senseless statements ignore the decades of historical research on the Armenian Genocide conducted by Turkish, German, British, American, and Armenian scholars, among others, stand in the way of the ongoing struggle for justice for the victims of the Armenian Genocide, and create a dangerous geopolitical dynamic, especially in the context of Azerbaijan’s recent genocide of Artsakh Armenians and its ongoing threats to the Republic of Armenia.

Pashinyan outsmarted everyone and was left alone with Russia. And with Azerbaijan in the rear…

,
In a word, Armenia is at a turning point, the Armenian people are waiting for a fundamentally different leader — not Pashinyan. And not "the chicks of Sargsyan's nest" — they all look the same. Armenia is waiting for a pragmatic technocrat-an economic executive, a national Mishustin — a person who will deal with the state of Armenia and its long-suffering people. A person who is able to choose the right political guidelines and strategic partners for the Armenian state — modern Armenia does not have such now, they are lost.

Three Puzzling Aspects of the Karabakh War

, ,
Shushi was handed over to a small Azerbaijani regiment without a fight. Pashinyan—either through negligence or by design—missed the crucial moment when the town could have remained under Armenian control after the fighting. This particular detail even surprised Russian President Vladimir Putin, who later stepped in as a mediator to prevent Armenians in Karabakh from losing everything.
