“Hraparak” newspaper writes:

“On March 18, we wrote that Edita Gzoyan, director of the “Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute” foundation, took a leave after the scandalous removal from the position of director, which will last quite a long time, as she has several years of accumulated leave. According to our information, he was offered to stay as a researcher and work at the museum after returning from vacation.

However, we learned that during his 1-month vacation, Gzoyan changed his decision: after the vacation, he intends to write an application for dismissal from the post of researcher. During this time, Gzoyan goes to the museum from time to time to complete unfinished works. During the visits, he does not meet or communicate with the director JP Hrachya Tashchyan.

In a conversation with “Hraparak”, researcher of the institute, former director Suren Manukyan, referring to the news about Gzoyan’s decision to leave HCTI, said: “He did not share that decision with me, he said that May will come, I will come, we will see, but if you have that information, then there is something, I don’t know. Now he comes sometimes on some business, he also has girlfriends here, maybe he communicates with them more. I communicate with him mainly at the American University, where we both teach.”

Let’s remind that Edita Gzoyan accompanied US Vice President Jay D. Vance during his visit to Armenia, talked about the Artsakh issue and gave him a book, after which Pashinyan ordered to fire her. We also wrote that the acting director is not in control of the situation, does not communicate with the team, but has already reduced some programs, limited pre-planned business trips. And after the news about the visit of the Catholicos of All Armenians to Tsitsernakaberd on April 24 was published on the website of the museum-institute, he ordered to remove it from the website, as a result of which two employees were fired.”

Yesterday and today, the prevailing sentiments inside Armenia resembled a distant village, some residents of which were happy that a “man from the city” came to participate in some “wedding” unrelated to their village. Moreover, that “wedding” is needed by the guests, not “the residents of that village”. They are holding this event for their far-reaching and conflict-causing plans, from the consequences of which the “village residents” will most likely suffer as well.

All of this would not be so funny if those “wedding parties” did not also have their money for a significant part of the losses and misfortunes of that conventional “village and villagers”.
The history of the Armenian people has had various complications, there have been various ironies of fate, but to be excited from time to time by the behind-the-scenes authors of our misfortunes, or those who turn a blind eye to them (for the sake of oil and gas), this does not suit us in the 21st century.

P.S.
For the first time, an event is being held in Armenia, one of the victims of which may be Armenia. Some naively say, “as if they didn’t know the place of Armenia until now :)))”. They should be told that with the victory of Artsakh, everyone knew the place of Armenia. And they also knew that the former Armenia did not agree to be in the image of a victim.

Leaders of many countries in today’s world need victim figures. such as Ukraine, such as Artsakh (Georgia did not agree to the image of the victim – let’s live). Now, Europe continues to see Armenia in that image. Because today’s leaders of Armenia, in the last 7 years, have shown themselves in the role of sacrificing the interests of our country.

Why did I describe the French president’s statement, which received a lot of attention yesterday, as meanness? For many, it may sound very harsh and strict. Let me explain why I consider it mean.

It is a disgrace, first of all, because whoever is who, the French president simply does not have any moral right to describe Armenia as a “Russian satellite”, at least for the simple reason that France itself, by and large, got a place at the front table in the geopolitical sense thanks to the Russian-Soviet initiative.

Apart from that, it is in France that they know best, or should know, the complex, difficult, difficult history and process of Armenia’s post-Soviet independence, the effort to build an independent state at a heavy price, the realities of the Caucasus, regional geopolitics. Knowing all that, defining Armenia as a “Russian satellite” means lying and disdain, and that is always meanness.

Apart from that, Macron already personally knows very well that Armenia has not gained sovereignty, but has lost thousands of lives, Artsakh, cultural heritage, rights, and all that is still an ongoing process. Under these circumstances, defining the situation of Armenia with the logic of “liberation” and “sovereignty” is, I repeat, meanness.

And the biggest disgrace is that Macron says all that in order to reach an agreement with Russia in the end, and to reach an agreement at the price of Armenia.

Unfortunately, another disgusting page of nationwide shame and dishonor has been written.

Participating online in the event held in Yerevan, the leader of the barbaric regime in Baku called the ethnic cleansing of Armenians in Artsakh a “struggle against separatism”, and the Artsakh military-political leadership held in Baku prisons, “war criminals facing justice”.

Rejoice, O Armenian, because you are in the heart of Europe, and the regular ticket to Cyprus is 900 drams…

At the European Community summit held in Yerevan, Aliyev tried to remind that the owner of “peace” is Azerbaijan, and its further course depends solely on his will.

Baku’s references to separatism and war crimes were also confirmation that Azerbaijan has not backed down from its aggressive policy, and the tools used against Armenia remain on the agenda.

Moreover, Aliyev did everything to remind Pashinyan that, unlike the European Community, he did not forget and even more so did not close the page of the conflict and the threats arising from it.

Briefly about the Yerevan Summit of the European Political Community.

● it stated that a proxy war (for now at the informational level) between the EU and Russia is starting in Armenia. Its “ideological” foundations were formulated by Macron with his cynical speeches.

● did not contribute to the European integration of Armenia in any way. The issue of Armenia’s membership is not and cannot be on the agenda of the EU.

● this summit was not about supporting the democracy of Armenia, but the reproduction of the power of Nikol Pashinyan,

● the humiliating model at the basis of the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations regulation process was demonstrated once again. Aliyev accused the people of Artsakh of “separatism”, called the military-political leadership of Artsakh “war criminals”, in response to which he heard Nikol Pashinyan’s flattering statement about hosting Baku in 2028.
