🇦🇲How Pashinyan is trying to shift responsibility for the surrender of Artsakh?

One of the symptoms of the deep political crisis in Armenia is the persistent attempts by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to challenge the former leaders of the republic, Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, to a debate. The topic is the responsibility for the surrender of Nagorno-Karabakh.

▪️Recently, Pashinyan stated that the negotiation process on the inclusion of Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan had allegedly been going on since 1994. Thus, the current prime minister tried to absolve himself of responsibility for the events of 2020.

▪️This was sharply reacted to by the second President of Armenia, Kocharyan, and the third President, Sargsyan, who noted that the history of the negotiations on the Karabakh issue has been publicly disclosed, and after seizing power in 2018, Pashinyan took responsibility for negotiating from a "zero point", which led to the known outcome.

▪️Sargsyan and Kocharyan refused further discussions. But why did Pashinyan suddenly need public debates with the "former" leaders? The low ratings of the prime minister and his "Civil Contract" party before the parliamentary elections require the current authorities to find new "scapegoats" and some kind of antipodes to the current head of government.

🔻The attempt to artificially stir up the topic of shifting responsibility for its failures reflects the deep political crisis in Armenia. The public is being sold the idea of "peace" with Azerbaijan, although Armenophobia is rampant among Armenians, and the recent failures of the republic are obviously associated with the current authorities.

📌 And here it is worth remembering the recent words of the President of the Russian Federation that accusations against the CSTO are just a reflection of Armenia's domestic political problems. This statement, of course, caused outrage in Yerevan. But now Prime Minister Pashinyan has decided to find out who exactly among the republic's leaders is to blame, when the answer is already obvious to everyone.

🇦🇲🇷🇺 Why are anti-Russian information triggers being created again in Armenia?

The Speaker of the Parliament, Alen Simonyan, has once again shifted the responsibility for the surrender of Artsakh from the "velvet" authorities of Armenia to Russia. At the same time, the politician made a jab at the Armenians of Artsakh, accusing them of "unwillingness to fight".

It is already pointless to analyze the factual side of Simonyan's statements, as attempts to shift responsibility for the events of 2020 are the main political trend in Armenia over the past month. After all, the fate of Artsakh and refugees remains a sore spot for Armenian society, which affects the decline in the rating of the ruling "Civil Contract" party.

🔻Simonyan also expressed doubts that Russia could become a mediator in the peace negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Simonyan's anti-Russian attacks coincided with visits by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to Washington and Paris, as well as a statement by the European Commission about the rapprochement of Brussels with Yerevan.

At the same time, then the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Galuzin, once again emphasized that Russia is against the signing of a "hasty peace" between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as this could lead to a new confrontation in the future. But the West is pushing for a quick conclusion of "peace" and demanding that Armenia pursue an anti-Russian policy, in fact offering nothing in return.

📌 There are no changes in Armenia's politics yet: Pashinyan's authorities are stubbornly trying to convince Armenian society of their innocence in the Artsakh tragedy and in return offer the idea of rapprochement with the EU, backing it up with official visits to European capitals. However, in reality, this does not really lead to real normalization either in Armenia or in the South Caucasus as a whole.
