PM Pashinyan & The $187.000 USD Car For His Crony Alen Simonyan

 

PM Pashinyan is trying to convince us that he runs a "Corruption Free" government. Guess what, he figured out a very efficient way of legitimizing corruption.

It is a form of corruption known in Western Democracies as "Pork Barrelling":

"A legitimately approved piece of legislation that creates benefits for a constituency or yields material rewards for a political representative belonging to the ruling party of the government in power."


National Assembly Speaker Alen Simonyan has been working so hard lately, sweating buckets while managing debates in The Armenian Parliament in a seated position, that he deserves a BMW 750Li xDrive LC valued at 90 million AMD ($187.000 USD). The investment in a $187.000 USD car (BMW) was approved by PM Pashinyan. A more modest car for $40.000 was deemed inappropriate to cover the transportation needs of Mr. Simonyan, at a time when war veterans from The Second Artsakh War, widows, and orphans are unable to obtain the basic necessities to sustain a decent living that preserves human dignity. 

Also, due to a psychological problem known as “Selective Amnesia”, PM Pashinyan conveniently forgot a declaration he made to the Armenian media back in June 13, 2021. He lamented the difficulties encountered by many Armenian Generals in finding reasonable living accommodations. He pointed out that many “... army generals in the Armenian army who don’t have apartments of their own and live on rent, even though they have been serving in the army for over 20 years.”

“Army generals must not have problems with apartments. Citizens should pay their taxes with pleasure, thinking that those taxes will be spent to take care of their needs.”

The accounting Guru Pashinyan decided that the best way to spend taxpayers money is by rewarding his crony, National Assembly Speaker Alen Simonyan, with a $187.000USD BMW instead of buying a decent car for much less and using the difference to buy affordable dwellings for the Armenian Generals living in substandard housing units.

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

From 2018 to 2021 PM Pashinyan Transformed Corruption Into an Art

Image
  Following the Velvet Revolution’s success in ending the control, since Armenia’s independence in 1991 , of three successive kleptocrat Presidents, Nikol Pashinyan was successfully coronated in May 2018 as the new ruler of Armenia-”The Savior From Planet Ijevan”. Prior to reaching the Office of The Prime Minister of Armenia, and for well over a decade, “ T he Savior” Nikol crusaded against the authoritarianism of the “Old Guard”. He considered the widespread corruption in The State Bureaucracy as his archenemy. He decried and condemned systematically, the lack of accountability all former Presidents of Armenia had adopted in their irresponsible approach in draining the public treasury for personal gain. The naive and gullible horde s of the Armenian populace bought his popular demagoguery with a blind trust, and a self-deceptive approach that refuses to acknowledge that “power corrupts”. No one insisted on the imperative that power must be wedded to strict accountability.

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

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,

PM Pashinyan & The New Enemies Of The State

Image
  On December 11, 2021 PM Pashinyan declared from the pages of his Facebook account that Armenia has a new category of traitors ready and willing to undermine the institutions of The State, and determined to threaten the national interests of Armenia, to protect masters operating without any restraints from the Diaspora. What are the key features of the internal political forces designated by PM Pashinyan as the pest gradually destroying the key foundations of The State? a) They rely on the rhetoric of accusing him as the head of a cabal of "traitorous authorities" who sold Artsakh to the enemy. b) The internal forces cooperate with external forces that often waive the flag of corruption and treason in The Armenian Government, mixed with a “Patriotic Sauce” . c) The “internal Patriots” are constantly mobilized against Pashinyan’s government because their “Foreign Partners” have a mission that hasn’t been fully accomplished yet . Pashinyan does not openly

When a dimwitted Prime Minister forges policies based on empty promises

Image
Since 2018 Armenia has been the victim of a great scourge due to the myopic foreign policies of PM Pashinyan. Devoid of common sense, lacking a basic understanding of history, and unable to grasp the geopolitical realities of the Caucasus, he is currently pursuing the disastrous attempt to introduce international observers to monitor and contain the new wave of Azerbaijan’s Armed Forces (AAF) incursions into Armenian territory. Pashinyan has been in a state of euphoria since the French Ambassador to Armenia, Anne Louyot, made the following declaration: “ W e support the idea [Foreign observers], we work in this direction and negotiate with other countries... The situation here is really serious, and France and the United States are working to get other countries to intervene as well. We are not silent, we have said who the aggressor is. We hope other countries will do the same.” Emboldened by the “Lip Service” of The French Ambassador, Pashinyan Twitted the following comment

Pashinyan, His Economic Miracle, And Poverty In Armenia

Image
  The “False Prophet” from Ijevan systematically promotes the narrative that his wise economic policies managed to create an unprecedented prosperity in Armenia since 2018, the year “The Velvet Revolution” toppled “The Old Corrupt Guard” and Nikol Pashinoglu walked triumphantly to The Office of The Prime Minister of Armenia. Of course Armenia today is not the “Land of Honey and Milk”, and the green mighty dollar does not grow on trees lining up the main streets of Yerevan. Prosperity is limited strictly to the ruling elite, or the “New Guard” i.e. the long list of oligarchs who plundered the economy under the watchful eyes of PM Pashinoglu, who scratched their backs and in return the oligarchs diverted millions of dollars to the multiple charities controlled by Anna Hakobyan, and with some creative accounting the illicit fortune of Pashinyan/Hakobyan ended up in offshore accounts, and not much can be traced back to the “First Family of Armenia”.  Today (Nov. 27, 2023), very gloo
