Vakhtang Siradeghyan,

Aliyev said that Azerbaijani citizens of Armenian nationality live in Karabakh. He did not say the news, it has been known for two years. If we don’t want to accept that reality,

then we should, first, kick Nikol out of office, then declare war on Azerbaijan and impose a defeat treaty on him. What Ilham has been doing to us for two years. But today we cannot do the first, let alone do the second. Nikol also says that Karabakh was given by the former. That he tried to deal with it (in his own words, “fought honestly to reverse it”), but couldn’t. And since the Karabakh issue is closed, he is going to sign a peace treaty. He is not alone in this matter. Almost the same is said in the West. Vice-President of the European Commission, High Commissioner for External Relations, Josep Borrell, for example, On October 4, in Strasbourg, he clearly recorded the fact of bombing and occupying the sovereign territory of Armenia in September. Secondly, in the speech, he considered Artsakh a disputed territory, saying that he did not mean the military operations (presumably the 44-day war of 2020) that took place in the disputed territory.

Pashinyan lies

So, for one of the European bureaucrats who forced Ilham to recognize the independence of Artsakh just 5-6 years ago, the territory of Artsakh is already declared disputable.
Back to our sheep, as the old saying goes. Thus, we see that there is no international circumstance that could prevent the signing of the capitulation agreement. The main points of which were presented on the pages of his family website under the signature “Reliable Source”. By the way, let me say that in fact that “source” is as reliable as his “rumors hanging in the air” were. But it doesn’t matter, the important thing is that that “source” is Nikol’s new-day microphone, and that says it all. Nicole is ready to sign the capitulation agreement. Do you remember that he said something like that 20 days ago, then the people went out on the streets and he announced live that he will not sign anything, especially since there is nothing to sign yet?

This is what Aliyev said in October 2016. He was being forced by the US, Russia and France to accept the independence of NK. He was also complaining of the powerful diaspora Armenian lobby.

Now compare this to the blatant lies Nikol stated at the national assembly yesterday.

Now he already feels confident and says that he will sign the contract with the support of the majority of the parliament and the people. Even the opposition will admit it. But it turns out that he saw the way to go just recently. In fact, by then he was slogging away in the dark. And that, even as peace was steadily beginning to emerge.

What has changed in 20 days, that scared and trying to justify herself on life, Nicole (Allen, also on top) is back in the saddle and is again blaming her exes in order to advance her case. Nothing changed in Armenia, everything remained as before. The unification attempt of the previous presidents also failed. The result is that Nikol is no longer afraid of those who could lead the crowd that came out to the streets and through them overthrow his government. This means that Nikol will confidently follow the “newly discovered” path and sign the capitulation agreement. And the people will answer it with silence. And, according to him, by a slip of the tongue or by the presence of some deep part (or, anyway, by the principle of the Overton window) does he leave room for “Armenia to be recognized as a part of Azerbaijan?”

A member of the 5165 movements,

YSU associate professor Menua Soghomonyan condemns the statements about not being able to manage the spontaneous gathering on September 15, which allegedly turned out to be fatal, and after that, no more uprising can happen. He emphasizes that by doing this, we are deepening the disappointment and rendering a service to Nikol Pashinyan.

Soghomonyan states that on that day he gave about 30 speeches from the platform, however, since the gathering was spontaneous, it was not possible to lead it. For example, Karin Tonoyan and Edgar Ghazaryan believed that impeachment is the political tool to remove Nikol Pashinyan, so they thought that the energy of that meeting should be directed towards impeachment.

However, there were different agendas, and especially in the section near the stage, there were hundreds of provocateurs who interfered. “Every word was greeted with curses, without looking that there were women there, they pulled Edgar Ghazaryan’s arm and threw him, they hurt Gevorg Gevorgyan’s nose. The goal of those provocateurs was to spoil the gathering.”
He notes that their gatherings were not so crowded, but in order to avoid similar phenomena, the political forces organize so that their supporters are near the stage, but since the gathering was spontaneous, that method did not work. Some of those people also wanted to occupy the National Assembly, but as a result, the police would arrest people. Menua Soghomonyan is surprised. they did not build a stage, but when they returned to the National Assembly, they saw a built stage, and they had turned on the loudspeakers and microphone from the security group’s room, there were no policemen, the gates of the National Assembly were specially weakened. Soghomonyan believes that the authorities were trying to provoke clashes in order to introduce a state of emergency in the country and prevent further protests.

Referring to the meetings of the three presidents and the Catholicos, he notes that, unfortunately, from the beginning the format was formed in the conditions of open and irresolvable disagreements, Ter-Petrosyan from the beginning showed a position that nothing could be changed and that if someone else comes instead of Nikol Pashinyan, the situation it will get worse. That is unacceptable.

“It is clear that Russia’s influence in the region has weakened. When the elite of the country has become inactive under these conditions, under the conditions of the weakening of Russia’s influence, if you do not seek to diversify your alliance and partner relations, diversify, compensate for this by establishing closer relations, especially with a military component with Iran, closer relations with Greece, with India , with China, from the point of view of acquiring weapons, etc. If those opportunities are not used, and you tell the people that I will bring you peace, and you don’t answer how… he said during the last press conference that the tighter the ring, the greater the demand for peace,” Soghomonyan observes.

The problem is that by making similar statements, Pashinyan once again misleads people and prepares them for unilateral concessions. Moreover, the end of the concessions is not in sight, the Armenian side will constantly make concessions, but it does not know at what point they will stop or if they will stop.

“Nikol Pashinyan has brought the country to a point that if Ararat Mirzoyan did not go to Geneva, it would give Azerbaijan the opportunity to unleash a new large-scale war. In addition, the discourse created by Pashinyan, that by handing over Artsakh we can have 100 years of peace, is a technology when they start a discussion and expand it so much that it becomes normal for people, and in the end it becomes acceptable. “Signing documents in states like our region does not imply following the provisions included in that document, and when Aliyev’s power in Azerbaijan is threatened, he will, without thinking, start a new war against Armenia, thereby diverting the internal Azerbaijani agenda,” says our interlocutor.

It is dangerous to abruptly change the security vector: Turkey may start a direct intervention in Armenia. And those people who think that the USA can stop Turkey are badly mistaken, because, for example, in the case of the invasion of Iraq, Turkey did not have the consent of the USA. In other words, it is necessary to prepare society: to arm ourselves, to give orders to our own military industry, to mobilize, to militarize Armenia, and until we do this, we cannot be safe in our own homeland, Menua Soghomonyan thinks.

Today, Nikol Pashinyan arrived in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, on a working visit to participate in the summit of the European Political Community.

Photos from the informal contacts of the leaders of the countries at the summit have already been distributed on the Internet. In those pictures, you can see how Nikol Pashinyan, Presidents of Azerbaijan and Turkey Aliyev and Erdogan, French President Emmanuel Macron, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and not only are sitting around the same table talking.

The photos show that there is a book on the table and a book with a very symbolic title. It is about the book “The End of History and the Beginning of a New Era” written by the Albanian writer Lea Ipi. It is a dramatic memoir about the end of communism in the Balkans. It is interesting whose book this is and who reads it, who gave it to whom or on whose initiative it appeared on this table.

It should be noted that Azerbaijani social networks are already actively discussing this book.

By Josh Rogin,

Washington Post Shilling for anti-U.S. dictatorships is one of Washington’s most time-honored bipartisan traditions. But what if getting paid to lobby for the United States’ enemies —

who happen to be the world’s worst tyrants — were no longer allowed? A bill pending in Congress is bringing Republicans and Democrats together in an effort to make immoral financial arrangements with these regimes illegal as well.

When foreign dictatorships try to affect U.S. politics and policy, they often hire former U.S. officials and lawmakers to launder and promote their agenda by petitioning our government, Congress and society writ large. Under the current rules, so long as Americans who are advocating for foreign governments, politicians and corporations disclose these activities, they can legally be paid to work against America’s interests. The theory underpinning the current system was that transparency would lead to accountability, which would in turn protect our democracy.

That system is clearly failing. President Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, one of his top lawyers, and his first national security adviser have all been credibly accused of violating the foreign agent registration rules. Tony Podesta, the brother of President Bill Clinton’s chief of staff (who is also a current adviser to President Biden) reportedly was paid $1 million to lobby the Biden administration on behalf of the sanctioned Chinese tech company Huawei. Former GOP House speaker John Boehner works for a lobbying firm that represents the Chinese Embassy. Former Republican senator David Vitter lobbies for a Chinese company called Hikvision that has been accused by the U.S. government of complicity in genocide — as did former senior Democratic senator Barbara Boxer, until she got embarrassed and quit.

Pushing the agenda of the United States’ adversaries is big business in Washington. The huge scale of these relationships became painfully clear after Russian President Vladimir Putin attacked Ukraine, when the U.S. government expanded sanctions against Putin’s cronies, sending the D.C. lobbying industry scrambling. Big lobbying firms such as BGR, Squire Patton Boggs, the Glover Park Group, Mercury Public Affairs, and many others have been taking millions from Russian oligarchs, Russian banks or Chinese tech companies to help their clients navigate the risk of U.S. sanctions, try to shape U.S. laws and influence U.S. public opinion.

These U.S. firms will often defend their actions as legal and protected on free-speech grounds. Nobody is arguing that exercising free speech, even on behalf of an anti-U.S. dictatorship, should be illegal. But neither do Americans have an explicit right to profit from working for the United States’ enemies.

That’s the thinking behind the Stop Helping Adversaries Manipulate Everything Act, also known as the Shame Act. The title harks back to a time in Washington when lobbyists had at least a little shame and would stop taking money from despots when they committed atrocities. But if the lobbying industry once had any shame, those days are long gone.

The new bipartisan bill would bar any American from taking money from any foreign adversary of the United States or any of their agents for lobbying, public relations or representational services of any kind. This would also ban Americans from being paid to represent any foreign company that is either directly or indirectly controlled by a foreign adversary.

The legislation would amend both the Foreign Agents Registration Act and the Lobbying Disclosure Act and would apply to all countries on the Commerce Department’s official list of “foreign adversaries,” which currently includes China (including Hong Kong), Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela.

Introduced Tuesday, the bill has two Republican and two Democratic co-sponsors: Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.).

“D.C. lobbying firms are making millions from our greatest adversaries,” Banks told me. “The American people are taking it from all sides. Nobody is sticking up for them, they’re fed up, and this has got to stop. It’s time to drain the swamp.”

The RSC, a group of more than 150 conservative members, joined with several other organizations to support the bill, including the Helsinki Commission (of which Cohen is co-chairman), the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley’s advocacy group Stand for America, Transparency International and the Syrian Emergency Task Force.

A big part of the foreign malign influence problem is that much of this work is directed at influencing the American people, Cohen told me, through promotion of propaganda and disinformation. The legislation would also apply to celebrities who push the propaganda of foreign adversaries.

“It’s important that we deter all Americans from doing the work of U.S. adversaries,” Cohen said. “We must disincentivize this type of work, and that begins with cutting off the money.”

Of course, these former officials and celebrities could still support whatever tyrant they like — they just wouldn’t be able to charge for it anymore.

“Free speech is a bedrock of our Constitution, but that has never meant massively profiting on the corruption of the likes of the Chinese Communist Party, the terrorist regime in Tehran, war criminal Putin, and mass murderer Bashar al-Assad,” Wilson told me.

Everyone knows why this bill faces an uphill climb in Congress: because so many lawmakers plan to shill for dictators after leaving office. But everyone also knows that containing despotic influence in Washington is the right thing to do — and that it is long overdue. We have to drain the foreign dictator influence swamp, once and for all.

Appeal to the presidents of Artsakh and Armenia

The ever-tightening circle around the two Armenian republics has faced the Armenian people with a threat to be or not to be, and I appeal to the former presidents of the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh and all those who think they can play a role in the matter in question to unite on ways to overcome it. regarding a possible solution. Each of us has succeeded in and through Artsakh.

Artsakh gave us life and honor. It is time for us to return its name and honor to Artsakh. I rise above all kinds of contradictions and extend my hand around the idea of ​​saving Artsakh, for the sake of Artsakh, for the sake of Armenia, for the sake of pan-Arminianism.

Can you imagine? Armenian civil society against the “Civil Contract”. I, for one, did not imagine such a thing. I have been a civil society representative for 17 years. I should add that knowing that class from the inside, being personally acquainted with many of its representatives, I thought that even at the moment of death they would continue to worship the so-called “velvet revolution”. And, naturally, to its leader, because without him that “revolution” would not have happened either. But what has been said does not mean that there were no criticisms before that, but they were, so to speak, referrals from a relative. Just like what happened even in the old days.

But here and there, 18 civil society organizations are CONDEMNING the nomination of Vahagn Hovakimyan to the position of chairman of the Central Election Commission (CEC). Let me add: the appointment of a once unsuccessful journalist (in the words of editor Nikol) or, what is the same, a half-journalist, and later a “spotty” constitutional expert of the National Assembly (still a formal nomination, which is the same as an appointment). I think that if this phenomenon is “highly unacceptable” for these organizations, then it is precisely the condemnation that exists. And the latter’s nomination by the “Civil Agreement” faction for the position of CEC chairman is “strictly unacceptable” because he is a member of the board of the given party. In addition, according to the statement, the latter “is engaged in active political activity, at least since the day of the creation of the “Civil Agreement” party.

However, the statement of “18” does not mention that the nomination of Vahagn Hovakimyan, deputy chairman of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on State-Legal Affairs, is also an anti-democratic step, if it was not done as a result of discussions with the rank-and-file members of the party. Because the nomination of a party member for the position of CEC chairman is as serious a step as, say, the election of members of the party board at the congress. I think it’s a much more serious step than that. And if, as we all know, it was done just like in the case of the “election” of board members (that is, at the sole desire of the party leader), then how can a non-democratic party build a democratic government and, at the same time, such a society?

HG. For my part, I should add that Vahagn, who was once my friend, took a step in the political sphere that I would never have done, not only in terms of friends but also strangers. I would not trust such a person with the position of the chairman of the polling station commission, let alone the Central Election Commission.
