During 5 working days, the Hayakve initiative collected 14,800 signatures. Avetik Chalabyan, a member of the Hayakve movement, announced this a little while ago. He also referred to an assertion that, according to Chalabyan, was made by NDB representatives.

According to it, Hayakven is a project to cut off Artsakh from Armenia. Chalabyan advised to read the legislative initiative and its rationale.

To hraparak.am’s question as to why the force that speaks of internal solidarity and unity, which is also in favor of the regime change, did not join the opposition movement that took to the streets after November 9, 2020, the public struggle, NDB council member Zhirayr Sefilyan answered:

“There is no political field in the classical sense in Armenia, our country is governed by a semi-colonial system. Therefore, there is no need to wait for a healthy atmosphere. Why didn’t we join, didn’t we support, because we were sure that the forces that came to the streets formally, their goal did not change? We have been witnessing for two or three years that Moscow is activating its fifth column in order to suppress Pashinyan’s government, make it more manageable, and extract what it wants from it. The 44-day war is before our eyes, after that. Taking the people to the streets was provoked by Moscow. And an independent, Armenian-centric force like ours could not provide any assistance to such processes. On the contrary, we went out to the streets in parallel, and many have noticed. Since the absolute majority of mass media was in their hands,

Vakhtang Siradeghyan

I am surprised at the naivety of our former ministers and generals. People understand that Nikol puts the blame on anyone to justify himself, but they try to prove that they are innocent through government structures (for example, the NA investigative committee).

In that regard, former Minister of Defense D. Tonoyan, and former commander of the Armed Forces M. Arzumanyan. It is clear that they will not be given such an opportunity. Because in that case, it will be clear that the reason for the shameful defeat of the 44-day war is not this or that commander or the 12 thousand “deserters”, but only one person: Nikol Pashinyan, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. If I’m not mistaken, this is not the first such proposal by Davit Tonoyan, there has been one (or more). And, of course, to be rejected. Today’s request and all future similar applications will be rejected in the same way.

Humanly, of course, the anxiety of Tonoyan, who previously occupied a high position, or those who assumed great responsibility, is understandable. Anxiety about their name and dignity. However, the whole problem is that the prime minister and commander-in-chief said goodbye to those human qualities a long time ago. And if they don’t have any meaning for him, then how can they have in the case of his subordinates? And, accordingly, they cannot be given an opportunity to preserve their honor and dignity. This is what is not realized by smart people like Davit Tonoyan and Mikael Arzumanyan.

By the way, the reaction of Armine Ohanyan, editor-in-chief of “Hraparak” daily, to my post on Facebook was also very human. “What should they do, dear Vakhtang… how to protect themselves from this bespredel”, and my answer: “I don’t know, it was supposed to be done in February 2021.” Indeed, the resolution of the issue was in the hands of the military after the ignominious defeat of the 44-day war. Of course, it was initially in the hands of the Commander-in-Chief, at least in the form of a resignation. Although the hero and leader of the spring events of 2018 had to think of another option first…

But life showed that he was not the hero and leader that he tried to be five years ago. On the contrary, after signing the tripartite declaration, hiding in the bunker, he took revenge on his supporters, formed “Guardians of the Revolution” gangs, which lived in his residence for days. Forgetting that two and a half years ago his supporters were almost the entire population. And the younger part of his supporters he himself led to death on the altar of the god.

Anyway, let’s go back to the Armenian generals. in 2021 on February 25, they should not have announced that the continuation of Nikol’s prime ministership is a threat to Armenian statehood, but they should have eliminated that threat. Generally, this is done at critical moments in normal states. But ours is different, and it was also shown in that issue. The generals announced, and a person who is a threat to the state forcibly gathered his supporters in the square and dismissed all the generals. And the country reached this milestone. when he hands over Artsakh and Armenian territories to the enemy… he puts his own guilt on the generals, simultaneously depriving them of the opportunity to justify themselves. By the way, blaming the defeat on the generals acting during the war, Nikol instructs the President of RA to generate new generals from the circle of colonels.

Meanwhile, the lower class of Armenia repeats the words of a person who is a threat to the state: “One meter from the Black Lake, one meter from the other, what’s the difference?” Then they attack everyone, including women, saying “why don’t you volunteer?” In fact, there is no government in Armenia anymore, nor one of the attributes of that government, the army. And the Black Lake should have been guarded not by the army, but by volunteers. Well, the idol of this mass gave the order for the army to cede the area of ​​Black Lake to the enemy. And these are sure that their idol cannot make a mistake. That’s how we live…

Replacing reality with PR is an evil act; and if a senior official is engaged in it, he becomes evil. Serzh Sargsyan, the third President of Armenia, told this to reporters Friday, referring to the fact that the parliamentary inquiry committee investigating the circumstances of the 44-day war in 2020 blames the former Armenian authorities, pointing to the Madrid and Kazan documents.

“Second, slandering others to save one’s own skin is immoral. And there was a very, very large dose of slandering. Third, psychologists say that liars eventually come, reach a point where they begin to believe their own lies. But there is a hopeful circumstance. They also say that it is the last phase of lying. I hope that we are in the last phase,” he said.

Sargsyan assured that internal processes are expected in Armenia, and there cannot but be such processes.

“And to seriously answer a man who publicly admits that the [Armenian] military deceived him more than ten times during the 44-day war. Can you imagine, a man who can be deceived ten times and he does not sense it? That is, what management ability should such a person have? Or what knowledge should such a person have? Our whole tragedy lies in this; in nothing else,” said Armenia’s third president, referring to PM Nikol Pashinyan.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia arrived in Georgia on a working visit.

Levan Davitashvili, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, welcomed the Armenian PM at Batumi International Airport.

A meeting between Pashinyan and Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili is planned today. First, the leaders of the two countries will have a private conversation, and then an extended meeting will be held.

The other day I made a post on my Facebook page. The content was this. “It will be very bad if it turns out that this was not an Armenian referendum,

Edik Andreasyan

but a gathering.” The last word angered many people, especially those who in one way or another are involved in the “HayaVote” initiative, have signed the relevant text or are going to go to community halls, marzpetars, and notary offices, and join the signature collection. In essence, this is our first attempt to come up with a civil legislative initiative and dictate the will of the people to the authorities.

This is a true manifestation of democracy, I would say at the highest level. Let me also say that I will go and sign the initiative personally, perhaps with a large group of my friends. Nevertheless, I am afraid that the RA authorities will use this initiative to serve their goals, that is, to gain temporary peace for Armenia at the price of recognizing Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan. Is it a paradox? Yes.

The organizers of the initiative are sure that if it comes to a referendum, and it is quite real, then the RA authorities cannot under any circumstances bring people to vote and force them to say “yes” to recognizing Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan. According to Avetik Chalabyan, let me say. “How do you imagine how this government will bring people to a referendum and force them to vote for the handover of Artsakh?” It’s impossible, I can’t imagine. The government cannot use the referendum to hand over Artsakh. It can’t be, I rule it out. On the contrary, we should use the referendum to delegitimize this government, to prevent them from handing over Artsakh.” The self-confidence of the political and social figure Avetik Chalabyan just kills me… In the sense of inspiring. It will be really wonderful if our people come and say “yes” by 90 percent to the most important demand of “HayaVote”. that is, to include such a provision in the Criminal Code. “Recognizing Artsakh as part of any other state on behalf of the Republic of Armenia is punishable by imprisonment for a period of 10-15 years.” And what will happen if the people don’t come, and what will happen if the people come and say “no”? “The organizers of HayaKve and the participants of the signature collection do not discuss this option and do not want to discuss it. I myself do not believe that our people are capable of being embarrassed to such an extent, but let’s not forget the famous saying: never say “never”. “The organizers of HayaKve and the participants of the signature collection do not discuss this option and do not want to discuss it. I myself do not believe that our people are capable of being embarrassed to such an extent, but let’s not forget the famous saying: never say “never”. “The organizers of HayaKve and the participants of the signature collection do not discuss this option and do not want to discuss it. I myself do not believe that our people are capable of being embarrassed to such an extent, but let’s not forget the famous saying: never say “never”.

We will make a big mistake if we forget for even a second who we are dealing with and what environment we are in after 2018. We have seen both war and capitulation, we have given thousands of victims and territories, but we had 2021. Extraordinary NA elections won by the same person whom we are trying to threaten with criminal liability if he recognizes Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan or another state. And are we not worried that he can win the referendum as well? In addition, the head of RA Day has already recognized Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan several times.

Moreover, this position of his was also defended in the European structures and in the collective West. How many high-ranking officials of the RA authorities have declared in open text: let’s give Artsakh, let’s survive, we will not risk the lives of 3 million for 120 thousand. And most painfully, how many people participated in the Yerevan rallies and marches in support of Artsakh, how many people joined the SOS Artsakh protest at the offices of the European Union, the United Nations and the embassies of the IC co-chair countries. In this disgraceful morale-psychological environment, anything is possible, even to receive a document on officially renouncing Artsakh through a referendum organized by the people’s initiative.

I see another danger after the realization of the patriotic goals of this initiative. Imagine a situation where, God forbid, we lose Artsakh as a result of the inaction and incompetence of the RA authorities, and Pashinyan continues to be the RA Prime Minister, because it was “not his fault”. Paul, Peter, Kirakos are guilty, but never himself. What could he do when Artsakh was handed over to him? Sounds familiar, isn’t it? And, then, who will we judge in 10-15 years? Nikoli, whose “immortal” signature may or may not be under the document recognizing Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan, because he may not even be asked.

HG. After all, Aro is not coming home from Washington, he is working on the issues of the surrender of Artsakh. They say there is new progress. At the last moment, we will give Aro a blow, he will pass. Otherwise, where is Nikol, where is the law?

Edik Andreasyan

According to our information, the President of Artsakh, Arayik Harutyunyan, wrote a letter to the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin,

in which he urged him to answer in a few days what they are going to do in Artsakh, whether they will continue to fulfill the mission of peacekeepers, which also includes ensuring the free movement of Artsakh citizens. If they are not going to control the situation and open the road, then Artsakh should be clearly informed about it and decide what to do next.

According to our information, the letter is written correctly, but with rather harsh wording, from which it is felt that Artsakh’s cup of patience is running out. Nikol Pashinyan forwarded the letter to the President of the Russian Federation and it is assumed that the answer will also be forwarded through him.
