In January of this year, Nikol Pashinyan announced that Russia’s military presence in Armenia poses a threat to Armenia’s security.

When Pashinyan says “Armenia”, he means himself and a group of representatives of his government, because the Russian military presence is really a threat to the current government and its representatives. As a result of its ever-increasing anti-Russian rhetoric, the Armenian government has turned into a threat to Russia’s national security, and if Pashinyan wants to free Armenia from the Russian military presence to neutralize this threat to his personal security, by the same logic, Russia can start an operation to get rid of the Armenian government that threatens its national security. One of the justifications for starting a war against Ukraine is that of Vladimir Zelensky. according to the definition of the Russian side, it is the removal of the nationalist and anti-Russian government. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians die not only to protect the integrity of their country but also to become victims of Zelensky’s anti-Russian policy.

After recognizing the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, Gagik Melkonyan, a member of the parliament from the Communist Party of Armenia, announced that the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, should be arrested if he comes to Armenia. We do not stop repeating that there is strict censorship around Pashinyan, and no deputy or minister has the right to express his own opinion. That is why the thoughts expressed by the representatives of the government are never denied because they are dictated by Pashinyan in advance and express his positions on various issues.

Imagine for a moment that the President of Russia has arrived in Armenia, and Pashinyan orders the state institutions under his authority to detain Vladimir Putin. Suppose representatives of the National Security Service or the police arrive at the airport to handcuff the Russian president and hand him over to the International Criminal Court right after he gets off the plane. However, most likely, neither the police nor any representative of the National Security Service will dare to go to the airport and perform this operation, being concerned about personal safety. In that case, Pashinyan will give the same order to General Gagik Melkonyan. Let’s assume that he alone can arrest Vladimir Putin. What can happen after that?

Unlike Armenia, where the Constitution is written in such a way that it is impossible to understand who is the commander-in-chief of the country’s armed forces, because there are different people in different situations, in Russia the president of the country is considered the commander-in-chief of the country, regardless of whether there is a war or peace: The armed forces of Russia are under the command and control of the Commander-in-Chief, including the armed forces in Armenia. If or when the Armenian government, or specifically Nikol Pashinyan, gives an order to Gagik Melkonyan to go and detain Vladimir Putin at the airport, it is assumed that the Russian armed forces in Armenia will also receive an order to protect the country’s commander-in-chief. Is Gagik Melkonyan ready to fight alone against Russia’s armed forces in Armenia? or can he call for help Vigen Khachatryan and other CP deputies who are zealous about Putin’s arrest – it is difficult to say. But there is no doubt that the fight will be quite dramatic and interesting. At this moment, it is difficult to predict which of the parties will win and, ultimately, who will arrest whom, but the European observers in Armenia will record the fact of Russia’s armed aggression against Armenia and initiate the 11th package of anti-Russian sanctions. If Gagik Melkonyan wins that historical battle, it is natural that he will arrest the President of the Russian Federation, and the Russian troops will flee from Armenia. Defeat is excluded, because whatever happens, Pashinyan will announce: let’s agree that we do not recognize ourselves as defeated. But there is no doubt that the fight will be quite dramatic and interesting.

Defeat is excluded, because whatever happens, Pashinyan will announce: let’s agree that we do not recognize ourselves as defeated.

And if a little more seriously, it is obvious that Pashinyan and his government, with their absurd and frivolous policy, are turning Armenia into a mockery, into a country that cannot be taken seriously and it is impossible to talk about any topic seriously with it. Maybe that is the goal. Pashinyan is consistently likened to former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, who held a press conference in 1975 and declared war on the United States, and the next day declared his victory, because the United States was so cowardly and small-minded that it ignored the declared war and did not react in any way. By the way, Amin was also an uneducated populist who personally beheaded 2,000 citizens of the country, some of whom he ate. Perhaps the events in Armenia can develop in the same scenario.

Much of life in Israel came to a halt yesterday: Hospitals stopped providing nonemergency care, planes were grounded at the country’s main airport, and malls and banks closed. The disruptions were part of an escalation in protests against the government’s proposed judicial overhaul, which has plunged Israel into one of its gravest political crises ever.

The interruptions to daily life were the latest sign that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had underestimated Israelis’ opposition to his government’s proposed changes to the courts. In response to the chaos, he has relented, at least in part. Netanyahu announced yesterday that he would delay the changes until later this year. “When there is a possibility of preventing a civil war through dialogue, I, as the prime minister, take a timeout for dialogue,” he said.

The announcement calmed some of the protesters and unions have called off their strikes. But it remains unclear what will happen in the coming weeks — and whether Netanyahu will continue pushing a proposal that has started to fracture even his own cabinet. Israel has dealt with deep political divisions for some time — holding five elections in four years — and the fight over the judicial overhaul has shown that those divisions persist.

Over the last two days, the opposition used all of its power to threaten to shut down the economy unless its views were taken into account, while the other side threatened to use its majority in Parliament to push through their political agenda, Patrick Kingsley, The Times’s Jerusalem bureau chief, explained.

“It was a very high-stakes game of chicken,” Patrick says.

Your pre-election headquarters warns about election bribes distributed to voters on behalf of the “Civil Agreement” party.

We present the urgent statement of your pre-election headquarters below. “In the areas adjacent to the polling stations, there are some lists of people representing the Communist Party, who are working in municipal and state institutions, and who are working for a long time with an unclear function, which possibly contains the data of citizens who received election bribes. As a matter of fact, the constituency commissions have stopped examining the applications and complaints of our proxies about the request to find out the identity of the mentioned persons, to stop the actions aimed at directing the voters. Election bribery is the latest ugly electoral violation that identifies the “Civil Contract” party with the political forces that against which many honest supporters of that party fought years ago. The function of stopping such practices is the responsibility of state bodies and, first of all, of the leaders of the CPC. The pre-election headquarters of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea announces that it is suspending the implementation of any operation in the direction of verifying the information in the mentioned cases and identifying the persons who committed an act with the features of a crime.

There will be capitulation… That’s how I perceived Nikol Pashinyan’s message to the “respectable participants, dear people, and the international community” of the RA government session. He clearly said that there will be a peace agreement and it will be based on the written documents obtained at the highest levels. I think many people understand what the word “peace treaty” means for the country in this disgraceful situation. It’s the same capitulation, but already documented. The first phase of the capitulation took place the day after the surrender of Shushi. About three years after that, and I think until 2023. no “peace treaty” threatens us on November 9, we may enter the second, already documented stage of capitulation. That is, it is possible to sign a paper, which will be called “peace treaty”, but it will become the capitulation certificate of our Republic of Armenia. If you want, call it a certificate, a workbook of the current government of RA, a certificate of registration of the Zags with Azerbaijan… Call it whatever you want, but it will be a capitulation paper, and according to Pashinyan’s formulation, a written document obtained at the highest levels.

And now let’s turn to the practical side of Pashinyan’s statement. Of course, it is a bit difficult to imagine Pashinyan in action, but let’s try anyway. Ahavasik, he stomps into a big room where Aliyev and Putin are already waiting for him. He gives a light greeting, they offer him a chair, he sits down. Aliyev and Putin also sit after him… Well, you can imagine the degree of pride of the beloved Zhogjan… A long-legged “blonde” puts the blue folder in front of Nikol and points with a marker to the place where the Prime Minister will sign… Well, now it’s order, or our Prime Minister, What, he doesn’t know where to sign… Then they put the file in front of Aliyev. Aliyev gets scared and takes the pen… Pause… The directors catch Nikol’s famous look at that moment… He eats Aliyev with his eyes… Putin whispers in his ear to sign because Nikol is not mad. Finally signing. Pashinyan’s “zibar” is opening. It’s Putin’s turn… He smiles, then raises his eyebrows as if he’s doing something serious, but quickly signs the paper and gives it to the “blonde”: take it, dear girl, you’ll take it, you’ll put it in the drawer I showed you.

• Which shelf, Mr. President, you showed me so many shelves?
• Speak quietly, achchi, they will listen… In the shelf of hunting stories. Got it?

The next day, American newspapers will write that Putin killed two birds with one stone…
This concludes the practical aspect of Pashinyan’s statement about the signing of the “peace agreement”, but we understand that we still have to reach that day. And will we get there? Knowing Nikol Pashinyan, it is difficult to claim that any statement made by him will reach its logical destination or, in general, be implemented. Until now, what he said has been the opposite or has been forgotten. He said: I will not give, he gave, he said: we will win, we lost, he said: we will develop, we regressed, he said: we will be educated, we have become uneducated, he said: there will be investments, the investors ran away, he said the population will increase, the opposite has happened, he promised immigration, immigration kills. Come on and believe Nikoli that “a peace treaty will be signed”. I don’t know who, but I refuse to believe it. I’m almost sure

It even seems to me that Pashinyan doesn’t believe his statement either. Then listen to him. He says like the hero of a famous movie: I will go and water the flowers, and you… He gives us a task. “The RA government and the public should engage in daily creative work, building, reforming, creating good, strengthening the security system. We must not deviate for a single minute from the path of development, strengthening of Armenia and strengthening of our democracy.” In Armenian, this means: you continue to play your game and not notice how I sign your final capitulation. They said you are welcome here. It’s enough, how much you blew and occupied the people with nonsense. Both your peace and the peace treaty will be attached to your head. Resign, go…

Recently, corruption revelations have become quite active in Armenia. Moreover, if, for example, the political force that came to power in the period following the political changes of 2018, figuratively speaking, made “mask shows” about the former elites – representatives of the political, economic or military bloc, now the findings refer to the representatives of the current government.

It has been in the press for quite some time that the fate of Arsen Torosyan, one of the prominent representatives of the ruling team, hangs in the balance. All this is quite an interesting phenomenon. Putting aside any personal-conviction attitude towards the current authorities, let’s fix a few things.

First of all, these findings may be aimed at sobering up the ruling team. In other words, it is not excluded that due to some considerations, Nikol Pashinyan decided to conduct a purge within his team or “pass through the fires of purgatory”. It is difficult to say why. Maybe he wants to increase the dose of public trust for himself and the team. Maybe the team sees the need to update. Maybe there are also those non-governmental “kitchen scraps” that the general public is not aware of. Be that as it may, we can say that in this regard, Pashinyan is trying to serve the internal public demand of Armenia. After all, it has been discussed, said and written many times that no serious corruption case has actually reached its end so far.

On the other hand, one should not rule out the influence of an external factor, so to speak, lighting a “green light” for this new chain of corruption revelations by Pashinyan. Let’s not forget that a few days ago, the United States State Department published its report on human rights, where, among other issues, it was also recorded regarding Armenia that “Armenia has a legacy of systemic corruption in many areas, including construction, mining, public administration, parliament, judiciary. the system, procurement, and provision of state support.

Accusations were also made about the embezzlement of state funds with the involvement of state officials and dubious business activities.” This is, in fact, a serious blow to Pashinyan’s power and the current government team in Armenia, in general, because it is actually announced by the US State Department that democracy in Armenia has regressed, and the thesis that Armenia’s brand is a democracy, to put it mildly, only works in Armenia. This is how reality is perceived in the minds of representatives of the authorities. By the way, in this regard, it is very remarkable that although Nikol Pashinyan announced in his last press conference that there is no systemic corruption in Armenia, a few days later the report of the US State Department announced almost the opposite of what was said.

The RA National Assembly did not accept the draft of the NA decision presented by the Armenia faction on applying to the Constitutional Court on the issue of terminating the powers of Constitutional Court Judge Seda Safaryan.

After the closed secret vote, the Chairman of the Counting Committee, Narek Babayan, said that 30 deputies participated in the voting of the draft decision, and all of them voted in favor. 30 votes in favor is not enough for the decision to be considered adopted, 65 votes were needed. It should be noted that only the opposition members participated in the voting, the CP deputies did not participate due to a political decision.

According to the draft decision, the “Armenia” faction claims that Seda Safaryan, having been elected by the National Assembly on September 15, 2022 as a judge of the Supreme Court, and taking office on December 16, has maintained his status as an individual entrepreneur until January 27, 2023. Meanwhile, according to the requirement of the law, within 30 days after his election, Seda Safaryan had to terminate his status.

Regarding the legality, whether it fits within the jurisdiction of the court or not, in fact, there are quite obvious cases where it is seen that war crimes are being committed by Russian militants.

Here, everything is focused on the following issue, the reason for which the decision to arrest Putin was made, refers to Putin’s adoption of Ukrainian children. Gurgen Petrosyan, president of the Armenian-German Lawyers’ Association, a specialist in international law, and lecturer at Erlangen-Nuremberg University, said this in an interview with “Hraparak”.

“Children are protected from the beginning by the Geneva Conventions, and if the militants remove children from the occupied territories and carry out adoption programs for them, then this can be somewhat included in the framework of war crimes. However, here the connection and the action, in general, is not so obvious that this can be considered a war crime, that is, certain legal problems can arise here. It’s not that it’s obvious in this case, if they had decided on a war crime, for example, in the case of Bucha, then there probably wouldn’t have been so much legal discourse, but apparently, their main goal here was to establish a connection between the President of the Russian Federation and the crime. In the case of Bucha, it is difficult to establish the connection between the president and the crime.

The expert of international law emphasized that in this case, within the framework of the children’s adoption program, the fact that it was Putin who signed the decree according to which Ukrainian children should be adopted and given Russian citizenship is evident. It is not possible to say whether this is an overstepping of the legality, it is mainly politics or not, it is difficult to describe it this way. Petrosyan notices that there is a legal discourse, but the issue is problematic and this is the first case in the practice of the international criminal court in general that this war crime enters the court to be interpreted.

We asked the expert of international law, even if the Hague court has made a decision to arrest Putin, how should that decision be implemented, are there certain mechanisms through which that arrest should be implemented? Gurgen Petrosyan said that the Hague court does not have any police system or such mechanisms to arrest the wanted person and here these decisions are mainly based on the cooperation of the states.

“States are obliged to arrest the President of the Russian Federation. This decision actually has a different goal. the goal is to limit the travels of the president of the Russian Federation, because 123 countries as such, he can no longer travel freely, because those 123 countries will be obliged to arrest and hand over Putin to the International Criminal Court. This is of course a very problematic topic, we have three examples in the case of the International Criminal Court, where an arrest warrant or an invitation warrant was issued against the sitting president, one was about the former president of Sudan, who was traveling to member states and there were a lot of difficulties for the member states. for, it was Chad, it was the Republic of South Africa, where the president of Sudan was in detention, but those states were not willing to implement the cooperation process. As a result, they were under a lot of pressure from the court to not fulfill their obligations, which they tried to avoid as much as possible, saying that the courthouse is not working, they cannot make a decision at such a speed, they tried to avoid it legally, but as a result, they were subjected to a lot of political pressure.” – said the latter.

Petrosyan stressed that in our case, if we are going to join the ICC (International Criminal Court), then in our case this issue will also arise and the visit of the President of the Russian Federation and the visit of other military officials to Armenia may be limited because there is an obvious problem because the Armenian we will be obliged to arrest them.

“Here the question arises as to what kind of political pressure we will be subjected to from the Russian side regarding our non-membership because this problem actually causes a large number of other problems,” Petrosyan noted.
We tried to clarify whether, in case of Putin’s visit, Armenia will have to arrest him, and the international law specialist said that Armenia will undertake to arrest him. It is necessary to distinguish two things, the first is the decision of the court of justice regarding the Lachin Corridor, and this is a matter of state responsibility.

“The International Criminal Court mainly deals with the criminal responsibility of the person, here it is necessary to separate these two natures. apart from that, it is necessary to separate the fact that there are also political components here. Azerbaijan is still not considered a prosperous state for the Western countries, and the same applies to us, because we are a small actor. And those games represent more serious topics of a more international level, where all that is directly related to their interests. As for Russia, of course, this decision creates two swords for Armenia from a political point of view. If we join the ICC, Russia will try to punish us in every possible way, if we don’t join, in the event that we announced it, then the Western countries will try to use it against us, saying, look, you are collaborating with a war criminal, etc., etc. Here, very serious political problems arise regarding our membership, and we must be able to take the right direction and make the right decision,” said Gurgen Petrosyan.

In response to Hraparak’s observation that the Hague Court will not become a political tool with this decision and does this not mean that it has exhausted itself and there is a need to establish a court with a new format, Petrosyan said that this presents serious problems for him. . He noted that this brings the world back to the Cold War, when the world was divided into two parts, and this same image can also become evident in this case, that it will not represent one global interest, but will represent the specific Western world.

“In fact, this does not lead us to a very good place, because we cannot compare the situation of Russia with Libya, Sudan or Syria – these are already very serious challenges that change the world order, so to speak. It will be very difficult for Armenia from the beginning, we will not be able to protect our interests because we will constantly fall either within the framework of the Western world or the Russian world. Our interests may suffer as a result of this, because such demands may be made against us regularly, bilaterally, which will not lead to the solution of our problems,” concluded Gurgen Petrosyan, president of the Armenian-German Lawyers Association.
