Repeating the same old mistakes and expecting better results

 

After reading our previous article titled “Flagrant examples of corruption in Armenia”, published on Jan. 12, 2021 many Armenians living in the diaspora and Armenia expressed the valid concern that the article does not contain anything about the corrupt entourage of PM Nikol Pashinyan, and most of the accusations mentioned involve state bureaucrats associated with the old guard ousted from power by “The Velvet Revolution” back in 2018.

 

I did mention in our article that the names associated with corruption in Armenia are only “the tip of the iceberg”. The analogy of the iceberg was used to emphasize the fact that corruption is so deeply rooted in The State Bureaucracy of Armenia, those prosecuted represent a small portion delivered to the attention of the public for many reasons that we cannot elaborate simply because they require an expose by themselves.

At no point we made any attempt to conceal the fact that PM Pashinyan promised a lot but failed to deliver anything significant. From improving the cooperation with Russia, to building a strong economy able to support the pillars of a formidable army that can act as a deterrent  to the multiple external enemies of Armenia, his score is well below impressive.

Like all leaders who turn an ideology or a set of ideas into a rallying cry, he used the corruption and the illegitimate wealth accumulated by people associated with the old guard to grab power. Like all revolutionaries in the pages of human history, he repeated the same evils he used to condemn in his predecessors.

Once in power he surrounded himself with loyalists who were rewarded with sensitive positions, not because they cherished unique visions about moving Armenia to the “Promised Land” of honey, milk, and prosperity, but because he needed blind loyalty to consolidate power and build his empire that supposedly will shine forever in the history of Armenia.

Almost two years after the mandate he received from the populace at large, he imposed on Armenia, Artsakh, and the Diapora the most humiliating military disaster in our modern history, because he refused to give diplomacy a fair chance by embracing a Russian solution known as the “Lavrov Plan”. In the end how can you embrace the Russian formula for peace, and spare your nation thousands of martyrs, when you are surrounded by loyalists who falsely believe that you can insult Russia and remain totally immune to any form of retaliation from President Putin.

The most ironic personality on the list of corrupt followers who insulted Russia and were rewarded generously for their Russophobe attitude is Mr. David Sanasaryan. Entrusted by PM Pashinyan with the task of stamping out corruption in The Republic, Mr. Sanasaryan made his boss extremely proud, so proud that in an international forum (Council of Europe) PM Pashinyan proudly stated in 2019 that his government: “… managed to root out systemic corruption and to create real prerequisites for everyone’s equality before the law…”

It was a very shallow pride that came back to haunt him. The Tsar he chose to fight corruption was corrupt himself. In April 2019 Armenia’s National Security Service accused (but did not charge) Mr. Sanasaryan of failing to carry his official duties, abusing power, and promoting the financial interests of his friends and cronies, chief among them Mr. Samvel Adyan.

Though he was relieved from his official position, PM Pashinyan refused to accept the allegations of Armenia’s National Security Service, arguing that an accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

There is a good chance that Armenia might be forced to choose a new leader/Prime Minister this year. Every Armenian eligible to cast a ballot should read multiple times the following stark warning made by novelist Octavia Butler:

"Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be lied to. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery."

Nikol Pashinyan & Adolf Hitler

Image
  On July 18, 1925 Adolf Hitler published a book he authored titled “Mein Kampf” (My Struggle). It was a manifesto outlining the problems of Germany, the actions and measures that must be adopted to remedy the existing social ills besieging the country, and last but not least, the plan to build the Utopian “German Nazi Empire” that will last 1000 years. The year the book was published, Germany’s population was 62,410,619 and less than 9,000 copies of “Mein Kampf” were sold because most Germans dismissed Hitler’s manifesto as the work of a mediocre painter, unleashing childhood displaced anger on a long list of groups who were allegedly behind Germany’s miseries. One institution, German Military Intelligence, was convinced that Hitler’s ideology can contain and reverse the spread of communism in Europe in general, and in Germany in particular. Together with a group of wealthy German industrialists and foreign governments, Hitler was groomed to hijack the democratic process...

Can A Bad Tree Like Pashinyan Give Armenia Good Fruits?

Image
  “ For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit.  Each tree is known by its own fruit, for figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.  The good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:43-45 )   If we apply the words of The Lord “ Each tree is known by its own fruit...” to Nikol Pashinyan, what are the bitter fruits that he shoved down the throat of the Armenian nation? Pashinyan masterminded and implemented the “Engineered Defeat” of the 44-Day War. The bitter fruit served to the Armenian nation; 5,000 brave Armenian soldiers lost their lives simply because Pashinyan refused to stop the war in early October 2020.

The Man Who Gave Up An Illustrious Career In Pornography To Serve A Nation

The Zangezur Corridor And A Future Civil War In China

Image
 Facebook Post Published By Vartan Oskanian On 16 July 2025 Outsourcing Syunik: A Corridor Too Far In today’s press conference, Nikol Pashinyan likened the idea of granting control over a corridor through Armenia’s sovereign territory to a third party with outsourcing national infrastructure such as the airport, railways, or postal services. This analogy is absurd, misleading, and dangerous. First, outsourcing the management of an airport or a postal service is a commercial arrangement in which national jurisdiction remains fully intact. The Republic of Armenia continues to exercise sovereignty over its land, airspace, and legal framework. These are standard public-private partnerships used globally to promote development, modernization, and efficiency—while retaining full national control. By contrast, the “corridor” concept—demanded by Azerbaijan and occasionally echoed by outside powers—implies something entirely different: the extra-territorialization of Armenian land. It envis...

First He Destroyed the Army. Now Pashinyan Wants To Destroy The Armenian Apostolic Church

  Back in February 2021, in response to criticisms, made by the top brass of The Armenian Armed Forces, that he badly mismanaged the 44-Day War, PM Pashinyan accused the Army’s leadership of plotting a “M ilitary C oup D 'état” to topple his government. For more details consult the following article: “ PM Pashinyan & The Art of Lying” https://artsakhtheinadequateresponse.blogspot.com/2021/02/pm-pashinyan-art-of-lying.html More than a dozen high-ranking officers were arrested by the National Security Service of Armenia (NSS), and when the prosecution failed to provide any evidence linking arrested Army officers to the “Coup”, the allegations changed, and different charges were laid, such as bribery, abuse of authority, dereliction of duty, etc... Fast forward to June 2025, the same accusations were recycled to target The Armenian Apostolic Church, an institution that has defied the policies of PM Pashinyan and accused him of leading the country to the brink of a di...

Is Prime Minister Pashinyan An EVIL Or A Sinner?

Image
 I am writing this article in reply to multiple appeals made by a long list of organizations and clerics from a variety of Christian denominations, encouraging Armenians to seek peace, healing, and forgiveness, despite the vicious attacks that have targeted The Armenian Apostolic Church for the last two weeks. Below, a sample used to prepare my reply. A Shared Post Published By A.G.A. - Armenian Goodwill Ambassadors (+ genuine friends & sympathizers) 29 June 2025 A Open Letter To The Armenian Nation By Bishop Nareg Berberian , São Paulo, Brazil (For the full text visit the source mentioned above.) Look at our Armenian people. We are a small nation but with a deep soul. We survived genocide, exile, war... and yet, one of the greatest dangers we face today does not come from outside. It comes from within. It comes from the divide among us. Of the distrust, Jealousy, and the way we criticize more than we console. How we forget that we belong together. But it doesn't have to be t...

Is Treachery The Dominant Trait of The Pashinyan Family?

Image
  In the annals of modern espionage, we encounter a long list of infamous spy rings composed of a father and son team, engaged in the treacherous act of passing critical information to the enemy, or acting on behalf or at the behest of the enemy in return for material compensations under one form or another. While a Google search reveals an abundance of spies, at least in The US, who used their family members to advance the cause of the enemy (Soviet Union/Russia) at the detriment of the national security of America, I will selectively mention a few names, and thus allow readers who are interested in an in-depth exploration of the issue to have a jumping board that they can use to delve deeper into the intrigues of a family-run espionage enterprise.  I will start with CIA agent Harold Nicholson, the 59-year-old father (at the time of his arrest), who sucked into the world of his dirty business his 26-year-old son (at the time of his arrest), Nathaniel Nicholson, to sell...

Pashinyan Had Two Opportunities To Stop The War. He Decided To Hemorrhage His Army

Image
 We were losing,‭ ‬and Russia was offering to stop the war,‭ ‬but the Prime Minister refused.‭ ‬Mikael Hambardzumyan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acf_IHRu1FM   I am convinced that not every person monitoring the political landscape of Armenia will invest 53 minutes of time to watch an interview that was conducted almost four years ago on June 2, 2021. But if you are a seeker of truth, an Armenian willing to learn from the mistakes of the past, and ready to build a better future for Armenia, by removing the “Manchurian Candidate”, Nikol Pashinyan, from The Office of The Prime Minister of Armenia, you need to listen and listen well to every single statement made by Mikael Hambardzumyan. Mr. Hambardzumyan was the head of The National Security Service of Armenia (NSS) during a significant portion of the 44-Day War, from October 08, 2020 to Nov. 08, 2020. For four weeks, he witnessed how the architect of the “Engineered Defeat”, Nikol Pashinyan, casually sacrificed an average of...
