Why is the government trying to scare again with the old ones?

As the elections are approaching, the rumors about the looting of the former have been activated again. At one time, they came to power by exploiting the loot of their predecessors. They want to deceive the people this time too. They forgot that the times when they said whatever they wanted and the people accepted it instead of melted oil, have long passed.

For 8 years, they have been playing the same disc about the looting of the former, but the looting is not coming back. Instead, their loot comes to the surface. They have been busy looting the budget for eight years. The former would even dream of emptying the budget in such professional ways. After that, they hope that people will believe in the fairy tales woven by the former about the looting. Especially since they don’t see the return of that loot, and even more so, they don’t feel the result.

Meanwhile, at one time Nikol Pashinyan invented so many lies about the astronomical loot of his predecessors that people believed him and after bringing him to power, they hoped that he would return the loot of his predecessors and divide them. In eight years, not only did they not get a share of the loot, but they also did not see where the return of the loot was.

They have been talking about some billions for years, but the returned amounts are small.

In five years, the Department of Illegal Property Confiscation of the General Prosecutor’s Office brought back property and money equivalent to only 14.5 million dollars within the framework of illegal property confiscations.

Summarizing the works of the Department for the period of 2020-2025, we should note that within the framework of the authority to confiscate property of illegal origin, with 1 legally effective judgment and 9 reconciliation agreements, 9 immovable properties with an average market value of 4 billion 411 million 112 thousand 500 drams, 2 movable properties with an average market value of 26 million have been confiscated in favor of the Republic of Armenia. 100 thousand drams and 1 billion 13 million 281 thousand drams.

Thus, only within the framework of the Prosecutor’s Office’s authority to confiscate property of illegal origin, 5 billion 450 million 494 thousand 148 drams worth of property and money, which is equivalent to about 14 million 464 thousand US dollars, were confiscated in favor of the Republic of Armenia,” the General Prosecutor’s Office recorded in the expanded session of the panel held in early March.

This is all. And since the return of property of illegal origin, outside of the propaganda bubble, they failed, which is what their published data speaks of, they decided to save the situation in another way, they went back to 2018.

But that was not salvation either. It was another manipulation by which they tried to deceive the citizens.

“Indicators of properties and funds returned to the ownership or possession of the Republic of Armenia and communities in 2018-2025 through criminal proceedings, cases completed in courts, claims and settlements for the protection of state and community interests, prosecutorial intervention measures, and also from 2023, as a result of the use of the tools for the confiscation of property of illegal origin, were analyzed in the prosecutor’s office.

According to these indicators, during the years 2018-2025, around 291 billion 726 million drams (about 773 million dollars) of property and money were returned to the ownership or possession of the Republic of Armenia and its communities, of which 65.8 percent or about 193 billion drams (about 504 million dollars) of property and money were returned to the ownership or possession of the Republic of Armenia in 2023-2025. in order to dispel the sad moods, a few days later they published such a statement.

Against the background of regularly circulating announcements about the widespread and astronomical “loot”, the return of 773 million in 8 years, admit it, is a small amount. Especially, most of it is property, which they calculated in drams using their known methods and got such a number.

But that’s not the whole joke. What is being said about the recovery of the damage done to the state and communities has always happened. Even before the Communists came to power, damages amounting to billions of drams were being repaired annually. Do not create the impression that this is the case only now.

It is a process that is part of the work of the prosecutor’s office, and nothing unusual happened in this regard. The restoration of property and monetary damages of 773 million dollars is a common phenomenon. It is only about restoring the damage caused to the state as a result of law violations. Another thing is that now they only see the “illegalities and looting” of the former, they don’t see their own or they don’t want to see it.

They don’t see it, they think that the people don’t see it either.

They rob the state budget day in and day out. They decide that they will be given 20-25 thousand and sometimes up to 30 thousand dollars in bonuses at the expense of the budget.

Only with additional bonuses or incentives, more than 21 million dollars were distributed to government officials within 3 months. Individual officials received amounts up to 45-50 thousand dollars in 2 rounds during those 3 months.

This is not looting of state funds, what is it, whatever name they call it? It makes no difference how public funds are looted.

The calculation of the gratuity distributed under today’s rulers has long since been lost. But we are definitely talking about hundreds of millions of dollars.

They have created laws convenient for them in order to rob state funds.

They are talking about the looting of the former. In 8 years, almost 1.2 billion dollars were withdrawn from the state budget to solve the issues of their apartments. Instead of one, sometimes they bought several apartments at the expense of the state.

Isn’t it looting when the funds of the state budget are squandered left and right, and no one, including the law enforcement agencies, tries to get their hands on it? We are talking about misuse and waste of billions. They don’t see their looting, before the elections they have started playing the disc about the looting of the previous ones, which has been repeated a thousand times, and they are trying to frighten them with the return of the former “looters”. They do not understand that they can no longer deceive the people with this. They have long passed the previous ones, and if the people have reason to be wary, they should be wary of them first of all.

Vardan Oskanyan writes: “If you still have any doubt that trusting Pashinyan to lead Armenia for the third time, who has already brought it to the most unfavorable position in this complex region, could seriously endanger Armenia’s existence, just try to read the analyzes of regional developments. Without that, of course, there are dozens of undeniable and well-founded reasons to make it clear that Pashinyan should leave on June 7.

Starting from breaking the negotiations with Azerbaijan and inciting a war, from losing it catastrophically, to the complete emptying and loss of Nagorno Karabakh. Add to this the continuous disruption of Armenia’s territorial integrity, as Azerbaijan still occupies and may still occupy different parts of the country, as well as the disruption of the Constitution, the delegitimization of the judicial system, and the consistent restriction of civil rights and freedom of speech.

Among Pashinyan’s “achievements” are the deep division of society, turning the state system into a joke, abuse of the budget, pressures on the Armenian Apostolic Church, growing alienation of the diaspora, and in the background of all this, the decline of Armenia’s reputation. The list can be continued for a long time.

But especially today, when a war is unfolding in Iran, in Armenia’s immediate neighborhood, and now in the entire Middle East, one more weighty reason is added for Pashinyan to leave.

Whatever the outcome of this war, the region will not be the same by June 8. The attitude and expectations of the involved players towards the countries of this region will not be the same either. Very difficult times await us. And Pashinyan has clearly shown that he is not the person who can lead Armenia even in much more stable and calm times, such as 2018-2020.

Over the past eight years, he has shown profound ignorance and incompetence in almost every area. We made a mistake in 2018 by entrusting the leadership of the country to him. We made the second mistake by reproducing him in 2021. We have no right to make the third mistake.

Pashinyan must leave on June 7. The case of the head of Armenia, in the situation created by his own cause and in a complex region independent of him, is not his own. As experience has shown, it never happened.”

The one who will resist the temptation to be proclaimed king on Palm Sunday and will be ready with all his being to bear the path of Charcharanats crucifixion, he will also reach the VICTORY OF THE RESURRECTION. Bagrat Srbazan’s new letter from prison

“Blessed is the coming in the name of the Lord…

Palm Sunday is the wonderful and glorious entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. It is a wonderful opportunity for us individually, personally and collectively to blossom, to renew, to open our hearts as a spiritual Jerusalem for the sanctifying entry and dwelling of the Lord.

You know, however, that Palm Sunday is followed by the Great or Charcharanats (suffering) week: denial, betrayal, false trial, crucifixion, but ultimately Resurrection and Victory.

However, it would be more correct to say that Palm Sunday precedes Charcharanats council, which is also a reflection of our life. life is not only Palm Sunday, and not only Charcharanats council, but the one who will resist the temptation to be proclaimed king on Palm Sunday and will be ready with all his being to bear the road of Charcharanats crucifixion, he will also reach the VICTORY OF RESURRECTION.

Our Lord’s way was and is, and ours is a choice to follow that way or not.

May the blessing of our Lord be with you all, dear ones, with the Flowering of our lives and the dwelling of Jesus in our hearts and the guidance and grace to guide our lives.

Remember, Palm Sunday is the bitter way to reach the VICTORY OF THE RESURRECTION by way of crucifixion, and that

VICTORY HAS NO OTHER CHOICE…”

On March 1, 1953, Joseph Stalin was at his country house in Kuntsevo, Moscow region. On the same day, he was found by the security guard Lozgachyov, lying on the ground in the small dining room. The next day, on the morning of March 2, doctors arrived at the summer house.

On March 4, Stalin’s illness was officially announced. Information about his health was regularly broadcast on the radio.

The information mentioned the symptoms of Stalin’s illness: loss of consciousness, stroke, paralysis of the body and other complications. In the same period, newspapers throughout the Soviet Union began reporting details of Stalin’s illness, health, and treatment on a daily basis. Even local newspapers in Soviet Armenia, regardless of their content, were flooded with news about Stalin’s health. The Soviet Armenian press reported all the details related to Stalin.

“In 1953 On the night of March 2, I. V. “Stalin suffered a sudden hemorrhage in the brain, which involved vital parts of the brain, resulting in paralysis of the right leg and right arm, with loss of consciousness and the ability to speak.” (“Soviet studentship”, 1953, N 10).

After the event that took place on March 2, Stalin’s health condition as of March 4 was already mentioned in detail. Newspapers literally wrote all the details.

“During March 4, medical measures were taken to introduce oxygen, give camphor preparations, caffeine, strophantin and glucose. A second time, blood was taken using leeches. In connection with high temperature and high leukocytosis, penicillin treatment is intensified. On the night of March 5, I. V. Stalin’s health condition remains critical. The patient is in a state of soporosis (deep anesthesia). Her nervous regulation of breathing as well as her heart remain severely impaired.” (Ibid.).

“At around 2 o’clock in the night of March 4, I. V. Stalin’s health condition remains critical. There are significant breathing disorders, the rate of breathing is up to 36 per minute, the rhythm of breathing is irregular with regular long pauses. There is an increased pulse rate up to 120 beats per minute, complete arrhythmia, the maximum blood pressure is 220, the minimum is 120.” (Ibid.).

After all these details, newspapers are already writing about Stalin’s death. Apart from that, full articles are already being published about how Stalin’s health began to deteriorate, how he was during those few days. The preliminary, official version of death and the complete medical conclusion are also written.

 

“Medical conclusion of I. V. About Stalin’s illness and death

On the night of March 2nd, I. V. Stalin suffered a cerebral hemorrhage (in his left hemisphere) due to hypertension and arteriosclerosis. This resulted in paralysis of the right half of the body and permanent loss of consciousness.

On the very first day of the disease, signs of breathing disorders due to the disturbance of the function of the nervous centers were found. These violations increased day by day, they had the character of so-called periodic breathing with long pauses (Cheyne-Stokes breathing). On the night of March 3rd, respiratory disturbances began to take on a threatening character from time to time.

Significant changes in the cardiovascular system were also detected from the very beginning of the disease, namely, high blood pressure, frequent and irregular pulse rhythm (radiating arrhythmia) and heart enlargement. In connection with the growing disorders of breathing and blood circulation, signs of oxygen deficiency appeared already on March 3. From the first day of the illness, the temperature increased and high leukocytosis began to be observed, which could indicate the development of foci of inflammation in the lungs.

 

On the last day of the illness, along with a severe deterioration of the general condition, repeated attacks of severe acute cardiovascular failure (collapse) began. The electrocardiographic examination revealed an acute blood circulation disorder in the coronary vessels of the heart with the formation of focal lesions of the myocardium.

In the second half of the afternoon on March 5, the patient’s condition began to deteriorate particularly quickly, breathing became shallow and very frequent, the pulse rate reached 140-150 beats per minute, the bleeding of the pulse dropped. 50 minutes after 21:00, as a result of increasing cardiovascular and respiratory failure phenomena, I.V. Stalin is dead.” (“Soviet studentship”, 1953, N 10).

Stalin’s death was officially announced on the radio on the morning of March 6, 1953. March 6-9 is declared mourning. The funeral takes place on March 9. Stalin is buried in the Kremlin Wall Pantheon.

“First of all, a specialist should be a material collector,” he is sure philologist, literary critic, senior researcher of the folklore department of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, Doctor of Philological Sciences Armen Sargsyan.

– Mr. Sargsyan, you studied at Yerevan State University, Faculty of Philology. How did you choose your profession?

– Simply, we read a lot. imagine, I have been reading Hovhannes Tumanyan since the 2nd grade. I was also registered in the library. At that time, to be honest, there were neither any philological things in me, nor was there a guide. My father was a craftsman, my mother a villager. My knowledge was mostly acquired. From my parents, of course, by blood, from my mother, I took the most essential, the proverbial grace, and honesty, purity from my father. In short, the family has given a lot. I was 9 months old when we moved to Tiflis, but we were living in a Georgian district, my mother did not adapt, we moved to Vanadzor. Since I was reading, they thought that I should definitely study higher, so I took it and submitted my work to the Faculty of History, because history has been my essence. However, I was left out of the competition by one point. In the second year, they convinced me to go to the Vanadzor Polytechnic Institute with your hard work. they came to my mind, I started studying mathematics for 4-5 months, but I felt that it was not mine. You have to love. And I left it and this time I decided to apply to the Faculty of Philology because I didn’t want to work as a teacher, but now I miss it… I taught everywhere.

From the very first year, the professors assigned an essay… I got four or five, but there were people who made 5 mistakes in two sentences. It seemed to me that I sat in someone else’s place, and I wanted to do something… my inner historian was speaking. I had neither the gift of writing nor journalism, so I decided to seriously engage in folklore.

In the very first semester, I read a report about the comparative character of Little Mher from “Sasna Trees” among all the stories. It turned out to be something exceptional. By the way, let me tell you that my thesis was about the survival of proverbs, angry Jrbashyan, Tamrazyan, Mkryan – those greats – shouted that this is the topic of a candidate’s thesis, change the title quickly, they won’t accept it at the top. The topic was very complicated.

Then I took the proverbs from the works of Sevak, Hrant Matevosyan, and compared them with Aram Ghanalanyan’s “Proverbs”. By the way, my diploma was followed by Ghanalanyan, who said in his house: “I wish someone would continue my work.” I kept my head down.

– Are new proverbs created in our time?

– Of course they are created. In the 1930s, new proverbs were forced to be created in connection with the kolkhoz, but they did not spread among the people. Some proverbs were somehow transformed, rearranged in accordance with the thinking of the time and the people. When I went on a business trip to Estonia, they asked if we have a collection of proverbs published, I responded positively, showing “Proverbs”. They went and brought their 5-6 volumes of proverbs and put them on my table. I was amazed. They said that we have included all versions of Estonian proverbs. I bowed before those people, the people. They were small, but they held each other tightly. I came back, I tried several times to start the multi-volume collection of Armenian folk proverbs, unfortunately, they did not want to meet.

– In which regions of RA are new proverbs and sayings born?

– In the course of centuries, they get diluted, condensed, gain new strength. “School Proverb” will be ready soon. 4-5 people also wrote school proverbs, to put it mildly, unsuccessfully. There are such things that children do not need. An example is the word bribe, they write. “Bribery brings light to a dark place.” Are you directing a schoolboy to fall into a dark place, to get out with a bribe?

I even wrote out proverbs from fairy tales.

He says: “The sheep of a wise shepherd are more fortunate than the people of a foolish king.” The people of Lori have this proverb, which I recorded in the late 1970s: “Sacrifice both the life of the literate and the life of the illiterate, run away from the semi-literate.” Another one: “Position is a phalanx, one is removed from one’s head, another is placed on another”, and there is a continuation among the people of Lorraine. “Do it like this: after taking the blanket, the person underneath remains.” The proverbs are exceptional: educating, guiding.

– Did you encounter difficulties while doing field work?

– I was employed at the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences at the age of 57. Kalantaryan, the director, took my workbook, looked, there was no place… By saying moment, moment, he was browsing. I have worked everywhere. It was in my favor. Wherever I worked, I tried to be useful both to myself and to the people. I have 52 tape recordings. Wherever I was, I had a pen in my hand, and if possible, I recorded. While working at the scientific-methodical center of the House of People’s Creativity, I had contact with archival materials, and I organized the entire archive.

The folklore archive was going back and forth, I organized it. They were the manuscripts of our gusans, hermits, Sheram, Havasu, and others. In the end, I felt that these materials would be lost, stolen, trampled, I moved everything to the National Archives, it was saved.

– You have recently published a book in which you refer to your birthplace, Shamut.

– After my heart surgery, I decided to fulfill my soul’s duty. I had lived in my birthplace for 9 months, and I decided to return my debt of 9 months. 18 clans with family trees, ethnography, folklore are presented. I recorded such ethnographic materials that were not known to ethnographers before. There are words that are not in the dictionaries of Ararat dialect, Lori dialect, but they are in the Artsakh dialect. The reason was that 10-11 families from Shamut came after 1795 and settled in settlements where there were mills and khachkars. There is a khachkar from 1315. In the 60s of the 19th century, people from different places came to this settlement and settled, and I attributed the influence of the Artsakh dialect to this.

In the last 15-20 years, the people of Lorraine have started using the words “malina” and “malinkut”. Malina is called “morut” by the people of Lorraine, malinkut is “morut”. Sometimes the Language Committee does not do what is necessary.

Let’s say, why don’t they use “forget”? They call it raspberry. The words that are radical come from ancient times. And literary Armenian is enriched at the expense of dialects. For example, we use the word “pregnant” even though the dialects have the word “tsotkovor”. That word is used by Hovhannes Shiraz, Hrant Matevosyan… Shiraz says: let the Armenian fields and fields be plowed. And pregnant is the right word. This is what the people of Artsakh say: “I’ll go and get my aunt’s daughter pregnant, I’ll come.” It is the word to accompany.

I get nervous at every step.

– What makes you nervous?

– It is annoying that starting with the Government and the National Assembly, they speak with “A”. Where did the “e” of our literary Armenian go? It’s a shame.

– Which folklore species are endangered?

– There are genres and types of folklore that have already left the scene. Today, fairy tales, myths, legends, epics are hardly created. I have also been involved in children’s folklore, published “Children’s Fun Talks” and “Children’s Laughter”. Every child presents his worldview in an original way. Let me tell you a few episodes. We celebrated my 70th birthday, my grandson went home saying that his grandfather’s birthday was very sad. When asked what was sad, he answered that there was no candle to blow out. Actually, it was a personal incident, there was no heart and passion, but I felt so bad! I tell all parents, no matter whose birthday it is, put one candle for the children to blow out, just so they don’t get sad.

Let me tell you one more thing. the other grandfather took my grandson to kindergarten, on the way home he said: let’s go in and buy a bun, the grandfather said: I’m in sports clothes, I don’t have money with me. On the next day, the grandson warns him not to forget and bring him with those clothes. He is only 5 years old.

– In the Shamut book, you included Hrant Matevosyan’s story “We Are Our Mountains”.․ what is the reality like?

– Let me tell you the background. After returning from the army, my uncle (by the way, he is the only hero whose name has been changed from Seryozha to Revaz) mother, aunt, says in the evening that the sheep are not there, look, where are they? Man goes as he comes, reaches Ahnidzor, uncle’s daughter hugs him and asks when did you come, she says in the morning, and adds that the sheep are not there. The girl says that Pavel and Ishkhan ate. He goes to them, they say that they have eaten, and now they will give him the money. They bring the saddle, load it with wheat, give something more than its value and leave. My uncle happily returns home, after 15-20 days they call the police and say, “You son of a counter-revolutionary, we took your father and shot him, do you want us to take you too?”

He says, “But what have I done?” They say, “Why did you hide the enemies of the state, why didn’t you come and tell us that your sheep were stolen?” He answers that they are neighbors, they know everyone, they even gave him double wheat. They say, well, we will judge you with them, you will know what it means to hide the enemies of the state. The trial took place in the fall of 1952, in the village of Dsegh. Each was sentenced to 4 years in prison.

Azerbaijan will eventually be dragged into the war against Iran if it continues, and if the Azerbaijanis are dragged into the war and they allow Iran to be struck from the territory of Azerbaijan, they will have to pay a heavy price.

This is the opinion expressed by a Norwegian political scientist, a professor at the University of Southeast Norway Glenn Dizeny with in the interview Brazilian political analyst and author Pepe Escobartalking about the double matches between Turkey and Azerbaijan.

According to Escobar, this is exactly what happened during last year’s 12-day war, but Iran did not take any retaliatory action, although it had all the evidence that the Israeli drones striking Iran’s territory were flying from Azerbaijan’s territory.

“If this happens again, Aliyev will be in serious trouble, to put it mildly. Let’s wait and see how the situation will develop. They think that this war does not concern them, but in the end, depending on the development of events, they may even benefit from this war, but for now, nothing is decided. In any case, I have received an invitation to participate in one of the conferences to be held in Baku, and I am going to accept it, because I would like to ask these questions to the people there, unless, of course, they throw me into prison,” added Pepe Escobar.

According to Glenn Diezen, many US presidents have avoided war with Iran because there were too many uncertain, unknown and uncontrollable factors, such as what would happen to Azerbaijan if it were drawn into the war. According to the Norwegian political scientist, it will change not only the European, but also the Eurasian geopolitical landscape.

“After decades of sanctions, threats and brokered attacks, Iran wants to settle all accounts and do it on its own terms. So, it was easy to start this war, but it will be very difficult to end it, because when everything is over, the world, it seems to me, will look completely different,” Dizen noted.

Pepe Escobar, for his part, added that one of Iran’s imperative demands is that there be no more sanctions against the Islamic Republic, but according to the Brazilian analyst, this is absolutely impossible, because the sanctions must be canceled by the US Congress, and this will never happen. The other demand, to pay reparations to Iran, is also extremely difficult to imagine the empire paying reparations or war fines to Iran.

“For the Iranians, it’s a matter of faith, it’s one of their three or four main points, among the demand to remove American military bases from West Asia, so the gap between the two sides is insurmountable, and there is no one who can act as a mediator. The only possible mediator could be Russia, and if we look at what Ushakov did not reveal about the telephone conversation between Trump and Putin, then there is no doubt that they touched on this topic. Putin could have told Trump. “Yes, I can be a mediator, all participants respect us.” The question is, do the Iranians want mediation? At the moment, we are hearing the same thing from the leadership of Iran, including Ayatollah Khamenei. “No, no ceasefire, no mediation. we go all the way.” This is what makes the situation so explosive,” added Pepe Escobar.

The Norwegian professor added, “this was a stupid war that should not have started in the first place.”

“Pressing” in the program Political scientist Karen Bekaryan, chairman of the board of “Hayatsk” analytical center referred to Nikol Pashinyan’s manipulative, absurd and criminal thesis, “If I am not there, there will be a war”.

«I am sorry that according to the ruling power, there are people in our society who can take meaning from Pashinyan’s statement. If the head of the state says that there will be a war without me, it means that the state does not exist. Even if we accept that he is right and there is such a thing in reality, then Pashinyan has brought the state to completion. The same man who brought Trump here as a witness on August 8th has been PRing for months that peace is guaranteed.

If you say before that, guarantors and mediators do not guarantee peace, then how do you think about Trump’s participation in PR, who, as the opposition later revealed, only participated as a witness,” said Karen Bekaryan.

According to him: the same Pashinyan announced during the 44-day war that Turkey has come to finish the Armenian Genocide. What happened now, did Turkey promise itself, did it swear that there would be no more war, or did it say that there is already peace, so what kind of war are we talking about? 

“We are now dealing with a government, a political force that came to power in 2018, we had a war in 2020, was re-elected in 2021, ethnic cleansing of Artsakh took place on the 23rd, various military operations, victims again, invasions of the territories of Armenia, now it has come again and says to be elected so that there will be no war. This is the most humiliating treatment imaginable towards one’s own people. This has put people on their asses.

With what plan did he come to power and what is he doing now? do they intersect with each other? they don’t have. He experiments on people and says he is learning. As a result of your studies, people die, disasters occur, we experience territorial losses… If we read something like this about other countries, we will not believe it.…” said the political scientist.

“Classes” in the program Arman Tatoyan, head of the “Wings of Unity” political initiative, candidate for the Prime Minister of Armenia, former human rights defender of Armenia once again referred to his latest revelations about new Azerbaijani incursions.

The latter noted: “In 2025 since november we have been doing research all the time. When we noticed changes in our area, we obtained open-source satellite images from French and Chinese satellites. Moreover, it is on the basis of satellite photos that Google makes its maps.”

“I know Pashinyan and CP members well, I know what they are capable of to cover up their mistakes. That’s why we thoroughly and cross-checked those photos before publishing them. We recorded the construction of a new Azerbaijani position in the territory of our country and the strengthening of the positions already located in our territory.

They built it in such a way that they directly targeted our security system. They built mortar infantry bases in Jermuk, they also installed solar panels in our territory… And now this government, which has eroded and destroyed our security system, has brought this issue of global security raised by us to the level of a position. Meanwhile, as a result of the construction of that position, the road our soldiers are taking is in danger… And instead of revealing it themselves, they clean up Azerbaijan, they say it’s a lie.

If Azerbaijan is preparing for peace, why is it making new fortifications, building new positions, even before the documents to be signed in Washington on August 8…” said Arman Tatoyan.

According to him, if there is no security, there will be no sovereignty, independence, economy, nothing will develop…

“Do you remember that they were building a factory in Yeraskh? What happened? They fired several times from Azerbaijan, they had to move the factory to another area,” he said.

«They talk about what happened in such a way that it is about 70 meters, it’s not a big deal… But isn’t this an obligation to take the scissors and cut it? Minister of Defense, aren’t you ashamed, you say it’s a lie? You are the Minister of Defense, either you do not understand the situation, or you will answer to all of us: why did you allow the invasions and hide them from the people?

Their hope is that we will talk and forget about it. It won’t be like that. Our boys fought and shed blood for every meter. You cannot separate security from a person, because apart from him, even that one meter is the Motherland, they are the grasslands, the pastures of our citizens… Azerbaijanis brought, built their positions 6 km away from our villages. Instead of telling Azerbaijan what are you doing, they say, well, they are low, they are not visible…

As a result of Nikol Pashinyan being Aliyev’s henchman, our soldiers are under direct Azerbaijani danger due to the position they have built in our territory. If you are the head of the country, why don’t you stand up and say, Azerbaijan, how are you bringing it, endangering the lives of my soldiers, building a position under my nose,” said Arman Tatoyan.

According to the head of the “Wings of Unity” political initiative, by 2025 On July 31, there was no road between two Azerbaijani positions in our territory, on August 15 there was already. They improve their communications.

“Azerbaijan shows with its actions that it is not going to leave our territory, and it is a lie that they will leave our occupied territories with the demarcation commission,” concluded Arman Tatoyan.

168TVof “The Rendezvous” the guest of the show DJ SMOKEis

“We are a nation of dead people, we mourn for 5 days, then we’re done!” says Smoke, talking about not appreciating and devaluing artists during their lifetime.

The DJ has a suggestion for those artists working in the industry who perform low-quality work and justify it with the phrase “we earn daily bread”.

“Come, I’ll give you 365,000 lei, money for daily bread, but don’t do this business. You guys are severing the brains of an entire generation for your pennies, don’t do it.”

Satik Seyranyan in the “Classes” program the guest Vahe Davtyan is a doctor of political sciences, professor, energy security specialist։

Yesterday, US President Donald Trump, who at least several times a week personally, through US officials or representatives of other countries, announces the start or continuation of “successful” negotiations with Iran, made another eccentric statement, saying: “They should open the Trump Strait, that is, the Strait of Hormuz… the fake news will say that I said this by accident… Accidental things do not happen to me in this war situation,” he announced. he

The main theses of the interview are below.

• “Trump Road”, “Trump Strait”, “Trump Lake” in Kosovo… this methodology is the same, and we see how transport links are used by the US as a tool of expansion. So, all the principles that are included in the document of the new national security strategy of the United States in, they are absolutely naked. This indicates that the geo-economic component will be the basis of the newly formed world order: either there will be no Iran, or there will be an Iran that will not act as a key player in the Middle East, which will ratify the 2018. signed Caspian Convention or 1982 maritime convention. We are dealing with attempts to implement basic geo-economic policies through the use of archaic force. This shows that the Deep State continues to operate in the United States.

• The US no longer hides the fact that its aggression against Iran pursues one goal: the possession of Iran’s oil and gas resources. In fact, Washington has always been very sensitive to Iranian oil and resources. In the 1950s, as the British position in Iran weakened, the US carried out the first Color Revolution in Iran, which led to the arrest of Iran’s nationalist prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, and the distribution of all of Iran’s oil and gas resources among several Western actors. This configuration lasted until 1979, when the Islamic Revolution took place and American capital was driven out of the Iranian economy.:

• The Achilles heel of the US Middle East strategy of projecting on Iran is that in Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, and other places, after the neutralization of the leader, the state and the political system collapse, in the case of Iran, this is not the case, and the neutralization of the leader has no effect on the stability of the political system. And this is what allowed Iran to become an important player in the Middle East. Today we see that Iran is not only more than an armed state, but also an institutional state that is quite difficult to undermine. If the national authorities in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Somalia at some point they tried to go out on the US to start a negotiation process, Iran refuses to do so, seeing this conflict as an opportunity. Iran sees itself a priori as the number one superpower in the Middle East. In this mega-region, as regional superpowers, Iran and Saudi Arabia collide, and that is why the US is trying to create problems between these two states. Saudi Arabia has already announced its intention to become a nuclear power, and this is being done to counterbalance Iran.:

• The US has recently been trying to engage in dialogue with China. We are talking about possible institutional cooperation between Washington and Beijing. There is potential to establish that cooperation, and we are talking about economic interaction. China is an important economic and trade player, but it is still not seen in the framework of the new world order as a threat generation zone in the Middle East.

• Iran’s ambassador to Armenia has already directly stated that Iran is alone in this war. 

To remind: In a conversation with Vahe Davtyan Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Iran Khalil Shirgholami a few days ago had said.

“Iran acts almost alone. You know that we are virtually alone in the war against the enemy, and during this national defense, no country participates and supports us by our side and on our behalf. Meanwhile, the United States possesses the most powerful military force in human history, and the Israeli regime is a completely militarized system, equipped largely with state-of-the-art weaponry provided by the Americans or from its own arsenal. Therefore, if we take these conditions and the situation into account, it will become clear that even under these conditions, Iran, as a lone warring country, which fights solely based on its own capabilities, can already be considered a winner. The enemy has not achieved his goals, and the costs for our opponents are increasing day by day and will continue to increase. We are absolutely determined that Iran will not come out of this war as the defeated side.”

• We see that Russia is showing caution in the processes taking place around Iran, and this is due to some steps of the USA, in particular, the easing of sanctions, which enables Russia to direct new resources to the Ukrainian front. As for Russia providing intelligence to Iran, Iran has good intelligence and knows very well the location of all military bases, economic and oil and gas facilities in the Middle East.

• The Strait of Hormuz is closed and there is a shortage of oil and gas in Europe. Turkey is more than skillfully trying to adapt to this situation, which is trying to diversify the export of natural gas to Europe through “Turkish Stream” and “Blue Stream”. Russia will try to make up that shortfall in the form of indirect supplies, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t bypass routes, and one of those routes is Turkey, and that’s why Turkey is showing a rather passive attitude now.

• The fact that Turkey has taken an anti-Israel stance in this conflict fits into its geo-economic policy. Russia will continue to exercise caution. To say that Russia has an unequivocal and unequivocal pro-Iranian position in this conflict, I at least doubt it.

• The volume of Iran’s exports has decreased for obvious reasons, including to China, and Russia can take advantage of this to try to fill the missing volumes.

• The post-World War II security architecture is crumbling today. A new system of international relations will be formed, the basis of which will be the right-wing ideology based on national, conservative ideas.:

• The proliferation of nuclear weapons must be controlled, and in this regard, the IAEA must be given real tools to influence the internal decisions of states, otherwise nuclear weapons could end up in the hands of, for example, various terrorist organizations at any moment. 

• We must closely monitor Turkey’s development of nuclear weapons. This is also brought to the Azerbaijani agenda. Aliyev has already announced the development of a peaceful atom several times, but taking into account the relations between Azerbaijan-Turkey, Azerbaijan-Pakistan, which is a nuclear power, of course, at some point, Azerbaijan will transform the peaceful atom into a military atom. In this regard, even more so, we should not allow our Metsamor nuclear power plant to be closed:

• About the authorities of Armenia and the existing challenges. We must understand that we are not dealing with a statesman. Nikol Pashinyan is busy with political careerism, and his horizon is limited only to election cycles. What do you want from a political force that has no proposition for the public and the only thing it does now is terrorize its own people into saying if you don’t elect me there will be war? To me, a citizen, KP does not have any economic, social, or infrastructural proposals. In other words, it is clear that in the case of this political vacuum, they must implement the “happy bus” operation in order to stay on the informational surface. But unfortunately, we are we do not have such a political system that this inability is the basis for political change:

• For the security of the state, especially in such a difficult situation, it is very dangerous for the number of politically neutral citizens to increase, who say: I do not believe in anyone, I will not go to the elections… This creates fertile ground for the reproduction of power. When a country is in crisis, it is very dangerous when an apathetic electorate carries a lot of weight.

• If you want to clarify and preserve your identity, it is necessary to preserve the principle of “us-them” and “me-she”, otherwise it is difficult to preserve the national identity. Now they are trying to erase those lines and convince us that we do not have any contradictions with Azerbaijanis who implement anti-Armenian rhetoric and anti-Armenian programs.:

• Armenian hatred in Azerbaijan is at the institutional level. An example: Armenia imports gasoline from the SOCAR company. At the same time, SOCAR’s subsidiary in Switzerland is funding anti-Artsakh, anti-Armenian lobby groups. The National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan is still funding quite large research groups, whose main goal is to show that Armenia is an artificial state, and Armenians do not have a national identity… We see that from 2020, after the 44-day war, Azerbaijanis are establishing themselves as a political nation. And the government of Armenia contributes to this՝ turning us into an object that serves Azerbaijan’s political interests:

• TRIPP is the same “Zangezur Corridor” which, solving the issues of Nakhijevan, will lead to the internal colonization of Azerbaijan through Armenia, which Azerbaijan failed to do for decades, because Nakhijevan had an internal clan, protected by the Constitution. This is a project that makes Armenia a tool for the establishment of Azerbaijan’s statehood and long-term development.

• By managing Nakhichevan and Artsakh, Azerbaijan gets the opportunity to become a key player in the region.

• Neoliberal ideas and approaches are considered by the Armenian government as a key foreign political toolkit, and this is when the era of leftist ideologies, leftist populism, and neoliberalism is coming to an end in the same Europe. Anti-liberal forces are gaining new positions in Europe, appearing in Parliaments. Putting the citizen above the state fits perfectly into neoliberal politics. I hope that after the June 7 elections, we will have a new reality that will review our relations with Europe and various geopolitical centers.

• The term “hybrid warfare” is used in a highly manipulative way. It is the application of several tools, including military, information, psychological, and other tools. Yes, the tools of hybrid war are used against Armenia, but not by Russia.

• From the point of view of financial security, we are in a very dangerous situation. And I am not saying this, the principles established by the RA Central Bank testify to this. 

• It is a very important indicator when the state implements infrastructure projects. This is not done in Armenia, it is very important. Through infrastructural projects, you also appropriate that territory, you strengthen your sovereignty in your territory. How many major infrastructure projects has CP implemented in the last 8 years: 0? If the state does not ensure industrialization, it is useless to talk about economic capacity, good living:

• Turkey is regaining its own position in pan-Eurasian logistics links, showing that Turkey is the key logistics hub that is most important in connecting Europe to Central Asia. Turkey is proving to be a very important player in the Middle Corridor. And TRIPP is what he needs for that.

• If there was talk of a complete transport blockade of Armenia, TRIPP would not be so dangerous. Otherwise, talking only about the unblocking of 40-42 km means talking about the enclavization of Armenia. It will lead to a blockade of Armenia. By paralyzing the North-South international corridor, which is of vital interest to Armenia, we are significantly reducing the level of our transportation security.: There are unverified reports that a 500 meter wide area is being provided for TRIPP, which if confirmed raises serious questions. What is that huge area for, what are they going to put there? 

• And parallel to this, we see talks about changing the Armenian railway model developing at the official level. Pashinyan is talking about handing over the concession of “South Caucasus Railway” to the Kazakh side. If the Kazakh capital is brought to our railway network, it means the actualization of the Middle Corridor, the Turan Corridor, in the territory of Armenia. The withdrawal of Russian capital from our railway system is in the interests of Turkey and the United States.

To remind: A few days ago, when Nikol Pashinyan was asked in a briefing whether during his telephone conversation with Putin, the question of urgently transferring the concession of “South Caucasian Railway” to a third party was raised, because there are discussions about transferring it to a Kazakh company, Pashinyan expressed hope that a partnership solution would be given to this issue.

“We will not mind if it turns out that there is a mutual understanding between us and Russia, that the Kazakh company is acceptable to both of us…

It’s not like we sit down and discuss with the Russian partners… because the Russian partners have not yet said: OK, we agree, let’s do it that way. I mean, the discussion is in a different mode, but there are such ideas floating around,” he said. 

Back in mid-February, Pashinyan announced that his idea about the railway is that any country friendly with Armenia and Russia buys the right to manage it from Russia. 

“There are forces within the framework of TRIPP who say that let’s make it so that after Meghri, when it enters Nakhijevan, it does not enter Nakhijevan and bypasses Armenia. Naturally, our international partners say: “How can I bypass Armenia? Armenia is our partner.” There, those who want to bypass Armenia say that the railways of Armenia are under the control of Russia. We are doing everything to convince that, yes, it is under the management of Russia, but it is the property of Armenia, and Russia does not want to and will not create any obstacles regarding regional projects in any way,” he said. 

It was talked about for a long time, he also mentioned that the concession could be transferred to Qatar, Bahrain or even the United Arab Emirates. We should also remind that Kazakhstan is a member of the Organization of Turkic States. Therefore, as a result of the deal, Turkey and Azerbaijan will have greater leverage to influence the railway.

• If the methodology applied to the northeastern borders of Armenia is used in the demarcation and demarcation process, Armenia may end up in enclave conditions if Azerbaijan continues its aggressive, militaristic policy. If the change of the route of the gas pipeline is not technical, but related to demarcation and delimitation processes, it is very dangerous.:

To remind, the other day information was spread that a part of the gas pipeline from Georgia to Armenia will be moved at the request of Armenia. It is reported that the change of the location of the pipeline is related to the request of the Armenian side, because the Armenian part of the gas pipeline is located in the Georgian-Armenian-Azerbaijani trilateral border zone and was mined in the 90s.

“Based on the fact that it is not possible to maintain the minimum safety standards and carry out repair work in the given section, on the basis of the tripartite interstate agreement, it was decided to remove the said problematic section of the gas pipeline from the mined zone and build a new gas pipeline at a safe distance,” the justification for the relocation stated.  

• Presenting the relocation of the 5.5-kilometer section of the Georgia-Armenia gas pipeline as a “technical issue” means consciously reducing the real depth of the problem. In fact, this is a manifestation of risks accumulated for many years, but not resolved at the systemic level.

The roots of the problem come from the 1990s, when this complex border junction between Armenia-Georgia-Azerbaijan turned into a minefield. Since then, a section of the pipeline has been virtually out of full operation․ not only its stable technical maintenance, but also its constant control is impossible.

Now it is proposed to build a new section with a length of about 5548 meters to bypass the danger zone. Georgia is building its part, Armenia is building its own.

We are talking about the backbone of our energy system. Armenia receives about 2.3 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually through the territory of Georgia via the “North Caucasus-Transcaucasia” route, which connects to the “Red Bridge-Sevkar-Berd” gas pipeline. And it is at this juncture that the vulnerability that forces logistics to be restructured today is formed.

The demarcation process did not simplify this picture, but aggravated it. Some sections of the gas pipeline have appeared in risk zones, and some sections have actually passed into the range of the enemy’s direct access.

It is also noteworthy that the initiative comes from Yerevan.

• There is talk of extending the life of the Metsamor nuclear power plant for another 10 years, until 2046. Rosatom claims that this is possible, which will greatly strengthen our energy security. At the same time, the famous 123 agreement lifted the ban on the export of nuclear technology from the USA to Armenia, and the proposed modular reactor construction technologies have not yet been properly tested.

• In the collective West, there is a perception of risk and a pragmatic calculation. In order to ensure economic and political stability within the same European Union, it is necessary to keep Turkey, Azerbaijan, and other states of the Turkish world in the zone of predictability. For example, Hungary, Slovakia conduct this policy. But Europe’s political elites also consider the Turkish direction as a means of ensuring their economic stability, which is directly proportional to their political reproduction.
