The Painful Victory of Pashinyan On 07 June. Farewell Address

 Since the end of the 44-Day War, I fought an uphill battle on multiple social platforms to emphasize the critical point that the longer Nikol Pashinyan stays in power, the more calamities Armenia will face. 

For reasons based on twisted logic, Armenians refused to accept the argument that a leader who casually sacrifices 5,000 brave Armenian soldiers to save his political career, is not fit to stay in power. Instead of banning him from the political landscape of Armenia, Armenians extended Pashinyan’s stay in The Office of The Prime Minister of Armenia in June 2021, despite knowing without any ambiguity that Nikol was the mastermind of the “Engineered Defeat” of the 44-Day War. 

The loss of 5,000 soldiers did not trigger a major popular uprising, and attacks by small groups of disgruntled Armenians on government buildings, did not intimidate Pashinyan or create the imperative to end his abuse of power, and the pursuit of an “Appeasement Policy” with Aliyev, who kept getting one compromise after another without giving anything in return to Pashinyan. 

In October 2022, Pashinyan formally recognized Artsakh as part and parcel of Azerbaijan’s territorial sovereignty. Isolated voices of objection did not trigger a popular anger or mass rallies where the presence of thousands of Armenians can convince Pashinyan to end his “Collaborationist Policy” with Aliyev.

In September 2023, Pashinyan gave Aliyev the green light to proceed with an “Ethnic Cleansing” of Artsakh. 120,000 Artsakhtsis were evicted by the Azeri Army from their ancestral land, and more or less, the population of Yerevan remained passive. Pashinyan’s self-confidence was boosted by the fact that Armenia’s population is unable and/or unwilling to express anger and defy the edicts of the government. The road was wide open for him to attack anything and everything Armenians considered sacred, and anticipate a paralyzing passivity instead of a civil disobedience that will shake the foundations of the country’s economy and force him to reconsider the path of submissiveness he charted with Aliyev and Erdogan.

In 2024, Pashinyan launched a vicious attack on The Armenian Apostolic Church. What started as virulent and demeaning verbal statements voiced from his Facebook page, quickly turned into arrests of clerics who dared to challenge Pashinyan’s collaborationist policies with Aliyev. Armenians remained passive one more time. 

Since 2024, Pashinyan gifted to Aliyev dozens of border villages with strategic military significance, and called it the “Process of Demarcation-Delimitation.” Isolated voices objected. The majority of Armenians remained passive. For Pashinyan it was another sign that Passivity=Endorsement of his pro Azerbaijani policies. 

For the last several months Pashinyan arrested journalists, political activists, opposition figures and prosecuted them based on doctored evidence destined to support the narrative that all those arrested were conspiring to overthrow the established constitutional order. Again, Armenians were too passive or fearful to express popular anger. Armenians were very comfortable in their slavery and docile obedience of the Pashinyan regime. Armenians with their deeds proved the validity of the old saying:
“Coercion made the very first slave, cowardice to revolt perpetuated the rest.”

Passivity, indifference, and the mirage that the false prophet from Ijevan will lead Armenia to the promised land of economic prosperity by joining The EU, will give Pashinyan a new victory on 07 June 2026. He will not have 69 seats in the National Assembly on 08 June, but he will have enough seats to extend his stay in The Office of The Prime Minister of Armenia for another five years, and serve loyally the interests of Aliyev and Erdogan. 

A consensus based on ignorance and stupidity will force Armenian voters to deliver a victory to Pashinyan on 07 June. The victory will prove that Armenia was dead on November 09, 2020. The funeral was delayed until 07 June 2026. 

Now, do I have to worry about a nation determined to commit a collective suicide by keeping in power a Pashinyan dedicated to serve the interests of Ankara and Baku?
The answer is NO. This will be the last article I convey to those who shared my pain and agony since the end of the 44-Day War. I will mourn in silence the loss of Armenia and “Let the dead bury the dead.”
