Harut Sasunyan: Pashinyan's government is destroying Armenia from Within<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

On September 15, 2025, Harut Sasunyan, in his article in the Colifornian Courier newspaper<\/a>, sharply criticized the government of Nikol Pashinyan for destroying Armenia from within.<\/p>\n

Armenia\u2019s crisis deepens. With each passing day, the country\u2019s incompetent rulers strip away its sovereignty piece-by-piece, dismantling the nation they were elected to protect.<\/p>\n

Armenia\u2019s leaders now echo the talking points of its sworn enemies \u2014 the Presidents of Turkey and Azerbaijan \u2014 as though they occupy Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan\u2019s chair in Yerevan. Armenia\u2019s highest officials made several contradictory and anti-Armenian statements this past week:<\/p>\n

In the run-up to next June\u2019s parliamentary elections, Pashinyan has flooded the public with hollow promises of peace. Yet, even after he made series of humiliating concessions, Pres. Ilham Aliyev spurns the so-called treaty, despite the August 8 White House meeting, which was staged to sign it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n

On rare occasions, Pashinyan and Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan have admitted the truth. In 2024, Pashinyan flippantly told the inhabitants of the border town of Kirants: \u201cYou may live without danger for seven days, but the eighth day may not be safe. What do I know?\u201d Mirzoyan made the same admission last week while addressing the National Assembly: \u201cPeace will not be fully established even if the agreement is signed with Azerbaijan.\u201d But they quickly revert to the fiction that \u201cpeace has been established between Armenia and Azerbaijan.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n

\u0410\u0440\u0430\u0440\u0430\u0442 \u041c\u0438\u0440\u0437\u043e\u044f\u043d<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

Pres. Trump\u2019s August 8 promise to Pashinyan at the White House that he would urge Aliyev to release the Armenian prisoners has yielded nothing beyond mere words. Worse, Pashinyan asked Trump not to mention the prisoners in the Memorandum of Understanding, fearing that his political rivals, when released, could challenge him in next year\u2019s elections.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n

After complying with Aliyev\u2019s demand to dissolve the Minsk Group, Pashinyan used the excuse that it was \u201cuseless,\u201d even though it kept the war at bay for nearly three decades. He even declared that the Karabagh issue was \u201cresolved long ago.\u201d If that were true, why would Aliyev need to wage a bloody war in 2020 to seize it?
\nThe truth is Pashinyan surrendered Artsakh by scrapping negotiations, ignoring Minsk Group proposals, and arrogantly declaring in 2019: \u201cI started the negotiations not from [Pres.] Serzh Sargsyan\u2019s point, but from my own point. This is an important nuance.\u201d Aliyev threateningly responded: \u201cNegotiations with Pashinyan are useless and senseless\u2026. In the absence of success in negotiations, Azerbaijan has the right to solve the problem with war.\u201d After losing Artsakh, Pashinyan absurdly claimed that Armenia is now \u201cmore independent than ever before!\u201d How can losing territory and thousands of lives make a country more independent? Would Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu return the West Bank, recognize Palestine, and then claim that Israel has become \u201cmore independent?\u201d Only a defeated leader would come up with such a nonsense excuse.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n

Pashinyan also denied agreeing at the White House to give a U.S. company a 99-year lease to manage the road linking mainland Azerbaijan to Nakhichevan, thus contradicting Pres. Trump\u2019s public statement.<\/p>\n

At a press conference on August 28, Pashinyan boasted: \u201cI am the government. No one can have any position that contradicts my position.\u201d This is the clearest proof of his dictatorial mindset, despite his constant claims of leading a democratic country. The next morning, he fired Liparit Drmeyan, head of the International Legal Affairs Office, for acknowledging Armenia\u2019s obligation to comply with an international arbitration ruling against the government\u2019s illegal seizure of Samvel Karapetyan\u2019s electricity network company. Even though Armenia had lost the arbitration decision, Pashinyan falsely claimed: \u201cWe have won in arbitration court.\u201d<\/p>\n
