Some of Nikol Pashinyan’s statements on the topic of war and defeat have become really winged words. Winged words, which are not words of regret and forgiveness, awareness of one’s own mistakes, but crutches and manipulations.
“I am the number one responsible, but am I the number one culprit?”
“Whatever happens, let us agree that we will not feel defeated.”
“I’m proud, yes, we lost. The responsibility for that defeat is ours, but during that defeat, we kept the power to look you in the eye. We have no reason to look away today.”
These expressions could be treated as the torment of an unbalanced and confused person who wants to maintain the sympathy and trust of the citizen and, accordingly, the chair. But these expressions are also a message and give a lot of material in terms of understanding Pashinyan and his actions.
For example, the phrase “whatever happens, let’s agree that we will not feel defeated” is the formula by which to understand many of Nikol Pashinyan’s actions. Where he fails, he loses, he damages various structures and the society in general, he tries to present that failure as a victory.
We gave it to Shushi, he says, the Azerbaijanis were going to return to Shushi and it would not be ours, let us not feel defeated. We can not get the Azerbaijanis out of our land and oppose their plans, let’s give them what they want and we will not feel defeated. And in order not to feel defeated, he tries to inspire that we need the unblocking of those roads, we will gain a lot from it, and so on.
The Artsakh negotiation process failed and even the Lavrov plan became a dream for us. would not be in our favor. So we did not lose, defeat was inevitable, let’s open an era of peace and live in peace with the Azerbaijanis and Turks without feeling defeated.
By and large, he is trying to replace the disgraceful defeat in the war with a “victory” for peace, because the previous authorities failed to reach that agreement and establish a lasting peace, now he will succeed and he will become a puppet of peace in the region. He may hope that the war and its aftermath will be able to be forgotten and that economic interests will make people forgive him and be content with a humiliating peace. Although it is highly doubtful that it will be possible to establish lasting peace in our region and gain economic benefits from all this.
Serob Marutyan,

PM Pashinyan is often labelled as a “Bona Fide” SOCIOPATH. Why? He clearly displays the several key characteristics of a sociopathic personality:
He has a big narcissistic ego. I, Nikol Pashinyan, know better than my Army Commanders. I was told that the army cannot win the next war, several months before Azerbaijan started the military offensive against Artsakh, yet instead of relying on diplomacy to avert a war, I followed the twisted logic of my ego and decided to incite a war by insisting that “Artsakh is Armenia”. I insisted that under my regime there will be no compromise and with new wars we will be conquering more and more Azeri territories.
Only a sociopath feels no remorse or guilt when facing the death of 6.000 Armenian young soldiers, more than 10.000 maimed, and thousands of orphans condemned to tremendous hardships due to the untimely disappearance of the bread winner of the family. Remember his own statement: “I am responsible for signing the Nov. 09, 2020 capitulation document, but I am not guilty for inheriting a bad situation from previous rulers who robbed the country instead of modernizing the army”
PM Pashinyan with his grandiose sense of self, while knowing well that the Armenian Army was not modernized enough to face the wrath of four enemies (Azerbaijan, Turkey, Pakistan, and Islamist mercenaries from Syria) on the battlefields of Artsakh, should have adopted the decision that diplomacy and The Lavrov Plan were the only tools he can use to avoid a disastrous defeat, and spare the nation thousands of casualties and billions of dollars in infrastructure damages. Only is a sociopath will reject 2 opportunities to stop the war in October 2020, and stop the massive hemorrhage the Armenian Army was experiencing. Nikol rejected Putin’s mediations because a weak army cannot challenge his authority, and he will have a better chance to serve the enemies of Armenia, and consolidate his power internally. Nikol, President Putin with his earnest mediations gave you two valuable opportunities to stop the war in October 2020-first week of October and then third week of October. According to press releases from the Russian Presidential Palace (Kremlin), at the end of negotiations President Putin conducted directly with you and Aliyev on October 19 and 20, the Russian President managed to convince Aliyev to end military hostilities. Two conditions were attached to the Azeri consent to freeze the military campaign. (1) Return of refugees/Internally Displaced Persons from the First Artsakh War to the seven Azerbaijani districts occupied by Armenia. (2) Return of Shusha/Shushi to Azeri sovereignty. Shocked by your intransigence President Putin stated: “Unexpectedly for me, the position of our Armenian partners was that they perceived this as something unacceptable …Prime Minister Pashinyan told me openly that he viewed this as a threat to the interests of Armenia…” Nikol, you casually threw to the jaws of death thousands of young lives that could have been spared had you been willing to deflate you megalomaniac ego, but you didn’t do it. Nikol, MEGALOMANIA is a symptom closely associated with a sociopathic personality like yours. In psychiatric terms it is “a psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of power and omnipotence.” Nikol, you are a disgrace to your own nation. Unfortunately, most of those who brought you back to power-the approximate 680,000 Armenian voters who brought you back to The Prime Minister Office of Armenia are a bunch of sheep. This is what American journalist Edward Murrow said about a nation of sheep who do not question the motives of their leader: “A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.” Nikol, you are the wolf who, with the rest of your pack made up of Erdogan and Aliyev will devour Armenia piece by piece.
