What we see today\u2026 Armenians did not want to look deeper\u2026 did not want to think\u2026 and instead elected a demagogic, loudmouth leader \u2014 a man whose power rests on artificially fueled Russophobia, sustained by Western hirelings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pashinyan has a strong instinct\u2026 he skillfully wriggles, dodges, and evades. It must be admitted that his experience as an editor of a tabloid proved very useful to him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He traveled to Moscow ahead of the elections with a single goal \u2014 to run a PR campaign, to show voters in Yerevan \u2014 who remain short-sighted \u2014 that he has everything under control, even in Moscow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, Vladimir Putin did not become a supporting actor in Pashinyan\u2019s electoral campaign \u2014 neither directly nor indirectly. Quite the opposite: the Russian leader sharply emphasized the risks and threats facing Armenia and Armenians as a result of Nikol Pashinyan\u2019s impulsive, hasty actions, devoid of any strategic calculation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So the Armenian prime minister resorted to his usual tools \u2014 emotional, blatant lies and a stream of self-satisfied bravado.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pashinyan was clearly unsettled when Putin raised the Karabakh issue as an important and pressing matter for Russia \u2014 while Pashinyan himself had already handed over that once-Armenian region to Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Artsakh, betrayed by him, is the last thing Pashinyan wants to speak about during the election period. Yet he still managed to make statements, as if running on fumes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe have not been able to explain to the Armenian people\u2026 why the CSTO did not intervene in the situation in Karabakh\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This raises several counter-questions to Nikol Pashinyan \u2014 questions he ought to answer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here they are \u2014 real, strictly formulated questions, not rhetorical ones:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Can you explain to the Armenian people why your authorities arrested CSTO Secretary General Yuri Khachaturov \u2014 appointed during Armenia\u2019s rotating CSTO presidency \u2014 right before the war?<\/li>\n<li>If you relied on CSTO assistance, Pashinyan, why did you decapitate it in advance? Why did you deprive the country of its key ally at such a critical moment?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, have you explained why you disrupted the negotiation process with your statements in Stepanakert and publicly threatened Aliyev with a revolution orchestrated by Europe?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why did you declare \u201cArtsakh is Armenia, period!\u201d only to later abandon the region under pressure from Baku\u2019s Western partners?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why did your partner mock refugees from Artsakh who lost their homeland because of your decisions?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why did the illegitimate president from London legitimize the pseudo-revolution of 2018? What role did British structures play in fueling Russophobia in Armenia?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why did you publicly thank Kutoyan for the \u201cvelvet revolution\u201d in May 2018, fully aware of his ties to the former regime and the information he held about you?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why does Serzh Sargsyan \u2014 whom you claim to have overthrown \u2014 still receive money from the state budget, while his associates remain within your government?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, where are the billions of dollars lent to you by global structures? Who received those funds? The people? Of course not.<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why did you refuse to defend Shushi? Why did you later call it a \u201cdark and unhappy\u201d town after handing it over to Azerbaijan?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Pashinyan, why did you turn to Russia for mediation only on the 33rd day of the 44-day war?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why did you fail the arms procurement program for the Armenian army and spend funds on useless fighter jets without ammunition?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, can you explain how you agreed with Europe to ultimately hand over Artsakh?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, how did you trigger the September 2022 war in alleged coordination with Aliyev?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why did you fail to fulfill your constitutional duties in September 2022, when Azerbaijan attacked Syunik, Gegharkunik, and Vayots Dzor?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why did you not declare martial law or full mobilization?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why did you create the appearance of external causes for defeat when the key decisions were initiated by you personally?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why did you and Serzh Sargsyan simultaneously promote the thesis \u201cDivide for salvation\u201d on October 15 and 20, 2020? Was this coordination or a coincidence?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Pashinyan, how did nearly $1.2 billion in irrecoverable debt accumulate in the budget and investment fund on the eve of Artsakh\u2019s collapse?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why were loans to companies affiliated with influential business groups and the Artsakh Fund written off, with no public accounting of their return to the state budget?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why has no one within your government initiated a transparent investigation into these financial decisions? Why must the people bear the consequences of your policies?<\/li>\n<li>Pashinyan, why was no one held financially accountable during the handover of Artsakh and the change of power in Stepanakert? Why did the parliament remain silent?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each of these questions is a heavy blow to his vanity. They form a mirror in which Pashinyan can see the consequences of his own words and actions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Armenian society has once again become the victim of a demagogue \u2014 a man of spectacle, shouting, and populism; a man who confuses governance with PR, and the people with an applauding crowd.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">How many generations must suffer? How much bloodshed, loss, and humiliation is required before it becomes clear that leadership is a responsibility \u2014 not a stage for performance?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He traveled to Moscow ahead of the elections with a single goal \u2014 to run a PR campaign, to show voters in Yerevan \u2014 who remain short-sighted \u2014 that he has everything under control, even in Moscow.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7672,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[157],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/armtribunal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/armtribunal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/armtribunal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armtribunal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armtribunal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7686"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/armtribunal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7686\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7700,"href":"https:\/\/armtribunal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7686\/revisions\/7700"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armtribunal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/armtribunal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armtribunal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armtribunal.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
