PM Pashinyan & The Art of Lying

 

For the last several days Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has been yelling and screaming in the streets of Yerevan that senior officers of The Armed Forces of The Republic of Armenia are actively pursuing a plot to assassinate him and/or to depose his government.

This alleged plot/coup, according to the laws of the realm, is nothing but a criminal endeavor that undermines the democratic process to impose on a nation a government that matches more the expectations of The Army, coincidentally, a mirror reflection of what opposition groups have been seeking since the signature of the infamous Nov. 9, 2020 trilateral agreement that formalized Armenia’s capitulation following a disastrous 44-day war.

Any foreign observer, with a minimum understanding of how a “coup d'état” is executed, knows well that before the arrival of the “Zero Hour”, a very high level of abnormal suspicious activities must take place within the rebellious army units entrusted with the task of implementing the orders received from the top brass determined to overthrow the government. 

Unscheduled troop rotations, high volume of “authorized leaves” cancellations, unusual interest by the army with buildings housing the parliament, the Prime Minister’s Office, major TV and radio stations, etc…attract attention, especially the attention of the National Security Service of Armenia (NSS), a key player in the defence of the constitutional order in the country, and an institution that managed to foil since Nov. 09, 2020 attempts by groups from the Syunik region to assassinate the PM and seize power in Armenia.

Unlike professional intelligence agencies in Western democracies, The NSS of Armenia is firmly dedicated to catering to the whims and the obsessive attachment with power thus far displayed by PM Pashinyan. Yet, ironically The NSS, with its unblemished record of protecting Pashinyan, did not make any statement or provide any solid evidence that Colonel-General Onik Victory Gasparyan, and/or all the high ranking officers who denounced the measures taken by Pashinyan to remove Gasparyan from his leadership position, are conspiring to depose the government. 

The NSS remained silent on The Army’s Declaration, but the biggest support to the allegations made by Mr. Pashinyan against Col. General Gasparyan came from Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who twitted on Feb. 25, 2021 the following message: “Wherever a coup takes place in the world, we condemn it. We also strongly condemn this attempt in Armenia.”

Let us not forget that Minister Cavusoglu serves a master (Erdogan) who has a strong disdain for freedom of expression, who has jailed hundreds of journalists for perceived failures to support his egotistic policies, and like Mr. Pashinyan Erdogan displays an obsessive attachment to power. 

We urge our readers to analyze carefully the declaration made by The Army, triggered by a Prime Minister who, unable to tolerate perspectives that do not echo his positive views of his own self, decided to dismiss Col. General Gasparyan from his current position. A personal grudge became, in the arsenal of Mr. Pashinyan, another political ploy to deflect popular anger and stay in power.


Chief of the General Staff of the RA Armed Forces, Colonel-General Onik Victory Gasparyan

  Mr. Pashinyan’s personal vendetta to destroy the reputation of Col. General Gasparyan, goes back to June 12, 2020. During a face-to-face meeting between the Prime Minister and The Commander of The Army, and after a lengthy discussion of the most recent intelligence available to The Army, Gasparyan without mincing words, warned Pashinyan that “Our opponent is no longer only Azerbaijan, but also Turkey. Therefore, Armenia cannot effectively confront the joint military potential of these states and it is necessary to direct all the political and diplomatic potential to avoid or at least postpone the war.”

To the Prime Minister seeking a diplomatic solution was an anathema. Looking tough by fighting a war that he cannot win, was the only solution that can guarantee his political survival. Sacrificing thousands of young Armenians on the altar of political expediency was more important than listening to the advice of a professional soldier who honestly admitted that he cannot win the coming war.

The statement made by our high ranking army officers, reproduced in full below our article, is nothing but an honourable dissenting view that does not carry any implicit or explicit threat to assassinate PM Pashinyan or overthrow his government.

Democracy is meaningless if it cannot tolerate opposing views that do not support the miscalculations of a government. And army officers are not strictly professionals defending the territorial integrity of a nation. They are also citizens dedicated to the protection of the collective values that have shaped the identity of our nation for the last several centuries. Army officers have also a moral obligation to warn a nation, well before a calamity destroys the entire country by the hands of a divisive reckless Prime Minister, who is driving a wedge between the citizens of Armenia and the institution that heroically sacrificed thousands of lives, in the hills and valleys of Artsakh, to keep the shadow of Aliyev away from Stepanakert.

In conclusion, for the average psychologist or psychiatrist monitoring the behaviour of PM Pashinyan since Nov. 09, 2020, obvious signs support the assertion that PM Pashinyan is no longer able to  tell the difference between exercising caution and becoming paranoid.

====================================

STATEMENT OF THE GENERAL HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMENIAN ARMED FORCES

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia expresses its resolute protest against the dismissal of the First Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia for short-sighted reasons, which was carried out without taking into account the national-state interests of the Republic of Armenia. In such difficult conditions for the country, such a decision is an irresponsible step. The Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and the government, are no longer able to make adequate decisions in this critical situation for the Armenian people.

For a long time, the RA Armed Forces patiently tolerated the “attacks” aimed at discrediting the Armed Forces by the current government, but everything has its limits.

The RA Armed Forces has fulfilled its duty with honor, to fight with its people against the enemy.

Inefficient governance of the current authorities, serious mistakes in foreign policy have brought the country to the brink of collapse.

Due to the current situation, the RA Armed Forces demand the resignation of the RA Prime Minister and the government, at the same time warning to refrain from using force against the people whose children died defending the Homeland and Artsakh. The army has always been with the people, as the people have been with the army.

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 classifi

Armenia is a “Democracy”. Why does PM Pashinyan need so many Spywares?

Image
  In an article titled “ Why Did PM Pashinyan Purchase an Israeli Pegasus Spyware?” published back in February 19, 2022 https://artsakhtheinadequateresponse.blogspot.com/2022/02/why-did-pm-pashinyan-purchase-israeli.html I did warn all Armenians who do not parrot the good views expressed by PM Pashinoglu about his disastrous achievements, that their smartphone can become the target of a close surveillance by The National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia, even if they are not involved in any criminal activities. Pashinoglu purchased the “Pegasus Spyware” from Israel not to ward off threats targeting the national security of Armenia, but to silence any opposition that seriously hampers his obsession with consolidating power in The Office of The Prime Minister of Armenia, and allow his “Collaborationist” government to engage in disinformation campaigns designed to promote to the ignorant masses the following points: a) Artsakh is a heavy burden on Armenia. It must be returned to I

Why Did PM Pashinyan Purchase an Israeli Pegasus Spyware?

Image
  In September-November 2021, multiple media outlets in Armenia published articles informing the public at large about a badly miscalculated decision made by PM Pashinoglu (an Armenian born with the soul of a Turk, that is why we call him Pashinoglu) to purchase from Israel a spyware (Pegasus), designed to eavesdrop on unsuspecting Armenian smart phone users who are not involved in any criminal activity, nor by any stretch of imagination represent a threat to the national security of Armenia. “ Yerevan Today” published an article titled “ Eavesdropping is carried out by the Pegasus spy program in Armenia, Pashinyan had purchased a $ 7 million Pegasus system" , to highlight the fact that “It is officially confirmed that Armenia has acquired a Pegasus spy program, which carries out illegal wiretapping... at least two people in Armenia received a warning letter from Apple that Pegasus spyware was installed on their phones.” “ Hrabarag” released a similar warning to A

5,000 Armenian Soldiers Were Sacrificed To Save The Political Career of PM Pashinyan

  More revelations have surfaced in The National Assembly of Armenia (NA) compelling us to debunk the most recent statements made by PM Pashinyan to the National Assembly’s Inquiry Committee for Studying The 44-Day War, also known as the “Fact Finding Commission” (FFC) of The 44-Day War. In an article published on June 20, 2023 https://artsakhtheinadequateresponse.blogspot.com/2023/06/a-fact-finding-commission-or-another.html the following crucial question was asked: Why did the Prime Minister of Armenia decide to go to war when he had several months to pursue an aggressive diplomatic campaign to avoid the war? In the same article we reported the professional analysis provided by Col. Gen. Onik Gasparyan, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Armenia, to PM Pashinyan and the National Security Council, in mid June 2020. Gasparyan’s warning was very clear to all those willing to listen to him: “ Our opponent is no longer only Azerbaijan, but also Turkey

What Did We Learn Since February 2022 About The Azerbaijani Agent Nikol Pashinyan?

  Since publishing my article titled “ Is Nikol Pashinoglu an Azerbaijani Agent?” back in February 2022 https://artsakhtheinadequateresponse.blogspot.com/2022/02/is-nikol-pashinoglu-azerbaijani-agent.html Many new revelations surfaced reinforcing the argument that the mediocre journalist was recruited by Azerbaijani Intelligence with the full knowledge of former president Levon Ter Bedrosyan, was paid a generous amount of money to support the cause of Azerbaijan in his articles preserved in “The National Archives of Armenia”, and he was used on multiple occasions as a back door channel to relay the views of the Aliyev Dynasty to key Armenian figures in The Armenian government. That he masterminded and executed the “Engineered Defeat” of The Second Artsakh War is no longer an issue subject to any form of debate. The orchestration of the defeat started well before September 27, 2020. In a recent interview by 168.am Prof. Abraham Gasparyan introduced a very interesting piec

PM Pashinyan Is Fully Responsible For Fighting a War With Obsolete Weapons

Image
  Military analysts and experts from a variety of armies with advanced methods of post war “Damage Assessment” (DA), were shocked by satellite images obtained from independent sources, and “drone strike” videos of Armenian artillery positions neutralized and Armenian tank crews blown to pieces while an impotent Armenian Air Defence Network failed to do anything significant to turn the tide of the Second Artsakh war all along the contact line of the military offensive campaign launched by Azerbaijan on Sept. 27, 2020. All those familiar with the dismal performance of The Armenian Air Defence Network agree on one key fact: Armenia with the full awareness and direct involvement of the political establishment, headed by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, purchased from The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan obsolete weapons, specifically 35 units of the 9k33 OSA (a.k.a. SAM-8) for the special price of $ 27 million. On a visit in January 2020 to Unit “N” of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia,

A Fact-Finding Commission Or Another Farce To Whitewash PM Pashinyan

  Armenian Opposition Parties to Boycott Tomorrow’s Session of 2020 Artsakh War Investigative Commission By Hrant Gadarigian 19 Jun e 2023 https://hetq.am/en/article/157296   While I agree with the opposition that the “F act- F inding C ommission”, established to investigate the chronological progress of events that triggered the 44-Day War, is a theatrical parody that has nothing to do with truth, and will concentrate the bulk of its efforts on whitewashing The Prime Minister of Armenia and his tragic miscalculations that sacrificed 5.000 Armenian brave soldiers, the opposition should still participate and impose on The Commission's agenda the following critical questions:  1) Why did the Prime Minister of Armenia decide to go to war when he had several months to pursue an aggressive diplomatic campaign to avoid the war? According to Col. Gen. Onik Gasparyan, https://mil.am/en/news/8686 he officially assumed his responsibilities as Chief of the General Staff of the A
