Pashinyan Attending Enemy Leader Victory Celebration

Throughout history, there have been various individuals who have been accused or perceived as betraying their countries. It is challenging to provide an exhaustive list, but here are a few notable examples:

1. Vidkun Quisling: Quisling was a Norwegian politician who collaborated with Nazi Germany during World War II. He established a puppet government and facilitated the German occupation of Norway. His name, “quisling,” has since become a synonym for a traitor or collaborator.
2. Marshal Philippe Pétain: Pétain was a French military officer and politician who collaborated with Nazi Germany during World War II. He headed the Vichy regime in France, which collaborated with the Nazis and implemented anti-Semitic policies.
3. Robert Hanssen: Hanssen was an American FBI agent who spied for the Soviet Union and later Russia for more than 20 years. His actions compromised numerous intelligence operations and resulted in the deaths of multiple agents.
4. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg: The Rosenbergs were American citizens who were convicted of espionage and treason for allegedly providing nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. They were executed in 1953.

One prominent historical leader who is often associated with betraying his country is Benedict Arnold. Arnold was a general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Initially, he was considered a talented and brave officer who played a crucial role in several key American victories.

However, in 1780, Arnold’s loyalty to the American cause began to waver due to perceived slights and personal financial difficulties. He conspired with the British and planned to surrender the strategic fort of West Point, which he commanded, to the British forces. The plan was discovered, and Arnold’s co-conspirator, Major John André, was captured and executed, while Arnold managed to escape to British lines.

Benedict Arnold’s betrayal is widely regarded as a significant act of treason against the American Revolution, and his name has become synonymous with treachery in American history.

It’s important to note that each case of alleged betrayal should be evaluated based on the available evidence and legal proceedings. The perception of betrayal can vary depending on historical context and different perspectives.

With each passing day, the situation is getting worse in Armenia and Artsakh because of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s endless compromises to Azerbaijan and Turkey, his defeatist attitude, and his incompetence.

Coming to power, he misrepresented himself as a democrat, but soon turned out to be a dictator. Five years ago, Pashinyan promised at a huge public rally: “If in the result of the process of [Karabagh] negotiations, there will be an option for settlement that I would personally consider to be a good option, let no one think that I will sign any confidential paper or take any secret action. If I see that there is an option that really needs discussing, I will come, stand here and present to you all the details, after which you decide whether to accept that settlement option or not. If you decide to do it, we will do it. If you decide that we are not, we will not do it. You are the supreme authority and you will have the final say. There can be no doubt.” However, ever since that solemn pledge in 2018, he has not asked the people to make a single decision on any issue.

Pashinyan:

— Made threatening statements against his political opponents, jailed his party’s rivals in local elections, had protesters arrested, and banned prominent Diaspora Armenians from entering Armenia because of their criticism of his regime;

— Divided Armenia’s population into two hostile camps and alienated the Diaspora from Armenia;

— Completely mismanaged the 2020 disastrous war resulting in the deaths of thousands of young Armenian soldiers and the loss of most of Artsakh;

— Failed to secure the release of Armenian prisoners of war from Azerbaijan;

— Was unable to protect Armenia’s borders from repeated Azeri attacks in the last two years;

— Was unable to open the Lachin Corridor blockaded by Azerbaijan for six months, resulting in the deprivation of 120,000 Artsakhtsis from food and medicines;

— Repeatedly criticized Armenians’ yearning for Mount Ararat, saying that it is no longer in Armenia’s territory.

— Weakened Armenia’s military;

— Dismissed Armenian claims to Western Armenia by announcing that Armenia has no territorial demands from any of its neighbors;

— Traveled to Ankara to attend Pres. Erdogan inauguration, embarrassing himself and Armenia;

— Gifted Artsakh to Azerbaijan. Contrary to Pashinyan’s misrepresentation that Armenia’s former leaders have given away Artsakh, Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said last week: “For the first time… Armenia has recognized Karabagh as part of Azerbaijan.”

No wonder, Aliyev and Erdogan are pleased with Pashinyan.

Last week, while addressing the Parliament, Pashinyan made questionable statements about Armenia’s coat of arms and national anthem, both of which are enshrined in Armenia’s Constitution. In other words, Pashinyan’s criticisms were anti-constitutional.

Here is how Pashinyan described Armenia’s coat of arms: “What is depicted there? Noah’s ark on Mount Ararat; the emblems of the four thrones, dynasties, kingdoms…. Moreover, what has that emblem to do with the state founded in 1991? Looking at the center [of the emblem], Noah’s ark is on Mount Ararat; today’s territory of Armenia’s Republic is under floods; and a lion that has not lived here for a long time under normal conditions.” This is “about the duality that exists in each of us, historical Armenia and real Armenia…. Should real Armenia serve historical Armenia or should historical Armenia serve real Armenia? … After all, six of the 12 capitals of historical Armenia are located in the territory of the Republic of Armenia. And when was the last time you were in those capitals. Did you see their condition? Did you assess their condition? We are talking so much about traditions; we are talking about the values; our capitals. Our historical symbols are in ruins today. Forgive me, this is also not something to say, but certain [historical] capitals located outside Armenia may turn out to be in better condition than those located in the territory of the Republic of Armenia.”

Closing his remarks, Pashinyan did not miss the opportunity to also complain about another one of Armenia’s state symbols — the national anthem — on the very day that Armenia celebrated the Day of State Symbols. He said: “Today, the official words of our anthem end as follows: it ends in ‘sacrifice.’ The ideology itself is correct, so I don’t have any problem with the text, but it ends with a ‘sacrifice’ line and ‘sacrifice’ scene. I’ve been thinking a lot lately, of course, it may not be easy to implement from a purely esthetic, poetic point of view, but I think it would be very correct from a political point of view for the anthem of the Republic of Armenia to end with the following lines: ‘Look at it, our sacred sign in three colors, let it shine against the enemy, let Armenia be always glorious.’” 

Pashinyan was suggesting shortening the anthem by cutting its last four lines: “Death is the same everywhere, a man will die but once, but blessed is the one who is sacrificed for the freedom of his nation.” This is yet another attempt by Pashinyan to weaken the nationalistic feelings of Armenians to appease Armenia’s enemies. The lyrics of the anthem were written by well-known poet Mikayel Nalbandian in 1861. The anthem was adopted by the first Republic of Armenia in 1918. It was readopted by the current Republic of Armenia with minor wording changes.

What will Pashinyan suggest next: Changing Armenia’s flag and the country’s name? Yet, this is the same man who self-righteously declared: “I can’t imagine a man who can love my homeland more than me. Such a thing is not possible. It is out of the question.” Even the Soviets kept Mount Ararat on Soviet Armenia’s coat of arms. How can the Prime Minister of the independent Republic of Armenia be less nationalistic than the leaders of Soviet Armenia?

By Wally Sarkeesian,

they were my friends they invited me there house and an event empowering women’s NGO “Green Path” operating in the Tavush region. I interview them and made a video about the project Stella Sarukhanyan and their mother suddenly I was not hearing from them so I contacted the mother I said I had a long time not hearing from you guys she said you know we just do not want to get in Politics. In Armenia, you just do not trust anyone they just flip on you in no time. here is my picture with her and her Stella and brother Russian wife, Imagine How much cash Anna Hakobyan pumped into their pocket,

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s wife has a new assistant, Stella Sarukhanyan. Sarukhanyan informed us about it on his Facebook page. “From today, I represent the RA Prime Minister’s wife, Anna Hakobyan. My activity was, is, and will be serving my motherland. I was, or will be one of you. I am joining the service on a voluntary basis, I will not be paid and I will not be considered a government employee. I value the public-government relationship, and it would be an honor for me to act as a bridge, help find solutions to your concerns, forward your letters to Mrs. Anna, and keep feedback. Dear Ms. Anna, thank you for your trust. It is a great honor for me. I will not disappoint you,” wrote Sarukhanyan. We learn from his Facebook page that Sarukhanyan is the marketing consultant of the “Green Path” NGO operating in the Tavush region.

Meet Stella Sarukhanyan, the new assistant of Anna Hakobyan. Her face may not be recognizable, but hundreds of thousands of Armenian taxi drivers and citizens from regions know her as the voice used in low-quality, sensational, fake news Youtube content. Thanks to Antifake, we know that Sarukhanyan’s brother is behind a cluster of Youtube channels (because one would not be enough) that spread all sorts of fake content, many times stoking hatred between Armenians, especially targeting Artsakh Armenians. Just a reminder that last year, Nikol Pashinyan’s government arrested and kept in pre-trial detention an opposition activist Armen Grigoryan, who died in the courtroom because he called people from certain regions “Turks” for voting for Nikol. This group of people, the Sarukhanyan clan, day in and day out spread much worse and targeted Pashinyan’s political opponents. Well now, at least some of them are working for the Pashinyans directly.

Here’s an expose by AntiFake that goes into detail about the channels operated by this gang and their relations with each other. The ringleader is Shavarsh Sarukhanyan, Stella’s brother. He employs many family members and friends in the operation. https://antifake.am/am/news/1043

Hasmik Babajanyan,

Again Serzh Sargsyan intervenes and removes Pashinyan from under Vazgen Sargsyan’s feet.

Nikol Pashinyan wrote many defamatory articles about Vazgen Sargsyan and the Army when he was the editor of “Haykakan Zhamanak”. It is not news to anyone. I will only make a small quote from his articles, let him refresh his memory:

“… Vazgen Sargsyan will be blamed for the murder of children, 18-year-old children, their mutilated fate, their wounded dignity. And there is still a question, will our super minister manage to become a member of the National Assembly, will they manage to discuss the question of his guilt, will Vazgen Sargsyan manage to say “I committed a crime” to his department?
This is one of editor Nicole’s mildest articles from which I am quoting. I quoted this piece so that we can understand who is speaking and how he “speaks with excitement” about the 18-year-old victims who defended their own land with their blood and won. In other words, even after the first Artsakh war, he worked hard to defame the victorious Army and its commanders. In one of his interviews, Serzh Sargsyan, despite his closed character, said that for the first time, Nikol appeared in his sight in the distant 1993 and that was the first time he met her.

The president did not give more information but hinted that the reason was one of Pashinyan’s defamatory articles about the Army.

After the interview, social networks showed great interest, and heated discussions began. According to the discussions, Vazgen Sargsyan, RA State Minister for Coordination of Power Structures at that time, seeing Nikol’s slanderous articles about the Army, ordered the author to be brought to him. Hours later, the bodyguards bring Pashinyan in the trunk of their car to Vazgen Sargsyan, who was in Serzh Sargsyan’s office at the time. Sargsyan asks Pashinyan where the information published to him came from, to which Pashinyan replies that he heard it while standing in line at the store. After hearing this answer, Vazgen Sargsyan, according to the discussion participants, severely beats Pashinyan, Serzh Sargsyan intervenes and removes Pashinyan from under Vazgen Sargsyan’s feet. I will not present the more embarrassing things that were discussed.

I now understand why the desecration of Vazgen Sargsyan’s monuments was allowed in Artsakh. They could, couldn’t they, move it at the state level, as they moved many of their necessary and useful things. People even opened the graves and moved the remains of their loved ones. If it seems to Aram Sargsyan that after such a policy, it will not be Vazgen’s turn in Armenia, he is terribly mistaken. Let him think why Nikol is still silent about Vazgen, does not defame him like other commanders. Everything has its time. The instruction is like that, let him wait.

But that’s not what I want to say. At that time, we had Vazge, that the Army “put the tongue in the mouth” of the defamer, the slanderer. Now there is no Vazgen and Nikol, using the state levers, completely blackens the Army. He talks about 11,000 defectors, an agency network, the guilt of the Army, and weak armaments. The blame for the defeat in a shameful way of war is placed on the Army, which brought the enemy to its knees at the time. Every day, he informs the enemy that the Army had no weapons, no weapons, and similar shameful things. I am surprised by the infinite patience of our presidents and commanders who built the Army, after all, they suffered the pain of creating the Army, and I cherish the hope that at the right time, they will silence the mouth of those who discredit the Army, already from official positions. The army is the security of RA and any negative talk about the military,

Hayka Aloyan,

Yesterday, June 15, during a question-and-answer session at the National Assembly, Nikol Pashinyan referred to the coat of arms of the Republic of Armenia. In particular, he announced that the coats of arms of the 4 kingdoms of Armenia, Noah’s Ark, and Mount Ararat depicted on it have nothing to do with the state founded in 1991. The same applies to the lion depicted on the coat of arms, which no longer lives in the current territory of Armenia.

For years, the issue of the RA coat of arms, anthem, and flag has been discussed among us. Some pointed out inaccuracies and shortcomings, some did not like the lyrics or music of the anthem. However, until 2020, those discussions had a different look: they were just the occupation of idle people, and after the war, treacherous steps against Armenia’s sovereignty.

Political scientist Ara Poghosyan says: “I would prefer not to comment on such statements in general, because from the beginning, Pashinyan’s image already contradicts the vital interests of the Republic of Armenia.” “In the content sense, we listen to what is becoming a reality in practical, applied politics. The lion is a symbol of strength and power, and when it sounds like the lion has not lived in Armenia or our region for a long time, it has an implication, that is, we do not want power, we just want to remain in some economic zone, where people will only make money and that’s it: we are not interested in sovereignty, independence, statehood, such things. A national dream, a national vision, these are not new things, what they directly or indirectly announce. Therefore,

As for the image of Ararat, it was clear at the time that at some point Turkey will bring forward its preconditions, will again make demands on Armenia to give up the national dream. Because the most and perhaps the most dangerous thing for Turkey is the national dream of Armenians, the vision that Turkey has been trying to break in us for years.
“Now this is getting practical. besides the fact that it becomes a reality on the ground, it is also used in the war of symbols. The coat of arms condenses the state’s past, present and future. And in this case, to give up our past, to give up our present and to become some kind of entity cut off from the land – this is exactly what Turkey’s goal has been for years since the 1920s. It continues to remain, but in this case already, in this particular period, an attempt is made to reach its final result,” Ara Poghosyan notes.

For a political scientist, the attempt to break the connection between the past and the present is worrisome: when Pashinyan says that a lion has not lived in this region for a long time, it means that we are renouncing our past, our history. We have had statehood, different dynasties, which have rightfully carried not only the emblems of the eagle and the lion, but also carried and implemented its political connotation in the region. And in this case, today’s government, which conducts foreign and domestic policy on behalf of Armenia, refuses all that.

“The third republic of Armenia is approaching its end. And those statements of Pashinyan prove that they are going to organize the funeral ceremony. Because one of the deepest ideological meanings of the third republic was that a united Armenia would be created, having the vision of recognizing and reparating the Genocide and declaring it as a state goal, putting before us the problem of recognition, self-determination of the Republic of Artsakh, and then reunification with Armenia, we formed the mission of the third republic. By abandoning that mission, we ourselves bring about the collapse of that statehood. Something that these authorities seem to masterfully try to do today” emphasized Poghosyan.

“We have several important problems, one of which is what the next authorities will be like, how they will come to power and whether they will be able to mobilize the broad masses of society, will they bring the goals of the top and bottom to a point when everyone looks in the same direction. If so, then not only will we have the opportunity to recover our losses, but we will also have the opportunity to develop. During this period, although new ontological problems are being created for the Republic of Armenia and we are facing a very serious threat to existence, on the other hand, of course, it is exclusively the result of our stupidities, actions, thoughts, etc. of our political power and our elites,” he says. is our interlocutor.

“In the regional and global sense, new opportunities are also being created, between some states that used to cooperate quite well, today wrinkles are visible, and new contradictions are emerging, which may open a new period of opportunities for us. In that sense, I consider the Turkish president’s statement that the main problem for them in opening the so-called Zangezuri Corridor is Iran’s position. Here we see the possible escalation of the Iran-Turkey conflict. Of course, I do not rule out the possibility that Turkey or Azerbaijan will make such a proposal that Iran will have to accept and change its position, but in any case this is an opportunity for us and there are many other opportunities to form a new government, a new national vision, national goals.

Speaking about RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Erdogan thanked him for accepting the invitation of the Turkish side and participating in the presidential inauguration ceremony in Ankara. He called Pashinyan’s visit to Ankara “an important step”.

“By responding positively to the invitation of the Turkish side, Pashinyan overcame a number of obstacles and opposition sentiments in his country. I had a chance to have a short interaction with him during the ceremony. I expressed my thanks for the visit to Turkey,” Erdogan said.

The problem with “Zangezur Corridor” is not with Armenia, but with Iran, and that upsets Turkey. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made such a statement during a meeting with journalists after his visit to Azerbaijan.

“As for the Zangezur Corridor, it is not a problem with Armenia. “Zangezur Corridor” is a problem with Iran. In other words, a problem of two Muslim countries. The fact that Iran has such a position on this issue upsets both Azerbaijan and us,” Erdogan said.

According to the Turkish president, “This should upset the Iranian side as well.”

“Unfortunately, the fees charged for one wagon are very high here. I hope that we will solve this problem soon. If they would approach it positively, today the Turkey-Azerbaijan-Iran triad would be integrated both from the point of view of automobile and railway transport and probably the “Beijing-London” line would also be open,” the President of Turkey stated.

Erdogan noted that the development of the peace process between Baku and Yerevan makes a great contribution to the process of normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia. “The doors for peace in the region, where there has been a lot of suffering, are open. That is why the parties should not miss this opportunity and act accordingly,” he emphasized.

Speaking about RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Erdogan thanked him for accepting the invitation of the Turkish side and participating in the presidential inauguration ceremony in Ankara. He called Pashinyan’s visit to Ankara “an important step”. “By responding positively to the invitation of the Turkish side, Pashinyan overcame a number of obstacles and opposition sentiments in his country. I had a chance to have a short interaction with him during the ceremony. I expressed my thanks for the visit to Turkey,” Erdogan said.

The President of Turkey also considered Nikol Pashinyan’s statements regarding the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan to be important. “However, as I mentioned earlier, there are negative sentiments against Pashinyan in Armenia. And that is a very important moment. Until now, Pashinyan has not taken a step back,” said the President of Turkey.

Let’s remind that in the late evening of June 12, Recep Tayyip Erdogan made his first foreign visit to Azerbaijan after being re-elected as the President of Turkey on May 28. The delegation led by Erdogan was large. He was accompanied by his wife Emine Erdogan, Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan, Minister of Defense Yasar Guler, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar, Head of the National Intelligence Organization Ibrahim Kalin, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloglu, the press of the ruling Justice and Development Party. Secretary Omer Çelik, Head of the Communications Department of the Office of the President of Turkey Fahrettin Altun and Head of the Defense Industry Department Haluk Görgun.

In Baku, Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Turkey is ready to open its main consulate in Shushi at any time, when Azerbaijan tells about it. “We are ready to open a general consulate in Shushi when they want it in Baku. That will be our message to the whole world, particularly to Armenia,” Erdogan said.

In his turn, Aliyev referred to the opening of the so-called “Zangezur Corridor”, through which Baku wants to connect its western regions to Nakhichevan through the territory of Armenia. “The sooner the corridor is opened, the better. We will strengthen the work in this direction,” he announced.

Six months of blockade in Nagorno-Karabakh

For half a year now the Lachin corridor, the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia, has been blocked. The Ombudsman of the NK published an extraordinary report summarizing the latest data on the consequences of the blockade.

According to this document, the economy of the unrecognized republic was damaged by about 346 million dollars, and about 11,000 people lost their jobs and livelihoods.

On December 12, 2022, a group of Azerbaijanis posing as environmentalists blocked the Lachin corridor. Later, the Azerbaijani media wrote that they were representatives of NGOs closely associated with the authorities. They stopped their action in April when Baku set up an official checkpoint near the bridge over the Hakari River. The Armenian authorities have been talking about the humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh all this time, but Baku continues to insist that the road is not blocked.

Previously, videos of the movement of Red Cross vehicles and Russian peacekeepers along the road were published as evidence of this assertion. After the establishment of the checkpoint, Azerbaijan distributes footage of people passing through the checkpoint without any escort. Armenian media reports that no one has yet passed unaccompanied. According to Armenian journalists, the footage mainly shows patients leaving NK for treatment, and those who return home after the end of treatment in Armenia. There are also family members who return to NK from Armenia, accompanied by members of the International Committee of the Red Cross and peacekeepers, but during filming they are asked to leave the frame.
