How long will the Armenian people tolerate a country\u2019s leader who consistently and systematically yields Armenia\u2019s interests to the enemy, trampling on the sense of dignity of the Armenian people? The current era will apparently enter the record of history as a period of betrayals and apostasy, when centuries-old legacies are abandoned under the slogans of a \u201cnew reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
The people who experienced a bloody trauma not so long ago suddenly find that their leader, Nikol Pashinyan, behaves not as a defender of national interests but as a strange and nervous destroyer of the Armenian nation\u2019s historical and cultural heritage. This is no longer about a debatable policy but about something deeper and more troubling - a consistent and systematic denial of everything that has given meaning to the centuries-long existence of the nation.<\/p>\n
What is particularly astonishing is his painful, almost neurotic reaction to a single word \u2013 Artsakh. It appears that Artsakh has become something like an idea fixe for that man, something like a persecutory complex that causes irritation and nervous outbreak every time it is voiced in public.<\/p>\n
However, such a reaction is not merely a political maneuver. Two alarming realities can be discerned behind it. The first is a submissive following of instructions from Ankara and Baku. Their demand to erase the memory of Artsakh appears to have been taken as a guide for action. The second is darker and deeper - a sense of fear of the inevitable judgment of history for what many view as an unprecedented betrayal and the effective surrender of Armenian land to the enemy.<\/p>\n
Everything began with a simple question, yet the response revealed a growing gap between the expectations of the Armenian people and the actions of the country\u2019s leader. Nikol Pashinyan increasingly reacts to any reminder of Artsakh as if it were not part of his country\u2019s history but a personal affront. His stance goes beyond political caution and takes on an almost personal character, approaching irrational intolerance.<\/p>\n
