Worse than the absence of state thinking can only be the imitation of that thinking. We have repeatedly written that the current collaborationist government consistently, step by step and with a deep sense of duty to its masters pursues a course of destroying the Armenianness as a historical and civilisational phenomenon. Even in the early stages of his ‘rule’, he clearly indicated that he did not accept any ‘isms’ and considered the existence of ideology dangerous for the country and the people. These revelations should have been alarming, since Armenia, which was de facto in the mode of constant external threats and could not afford the luxury of living outside the most important of ‘isms’ – patriotism. However, Pashinyan’s predecessors, with their short-sightedness and amateurism, created the most comfortable working conditions for the Turkish commandant. Now, those who have been exploiting the country for decades are extremely concerned about the anti-national statements of the creature that is a direct consequence of their ‘great and effective’ rule.
Pashinyan calls for abandoning the Armenian history, Pashinyan considers the recognition of the Armenian Genocide dangerous, Pashinyan called Shushi a gloomy city, Pashinyan recognised Artsakh as a part of Azerbaijan, Pashinyan soured relations with Russia, and so on. Such kind of headlines can be found in all media resources, directly or indirectly owned by one of the so-called ‘fathers’ of the Third Republic. Suddenly, they turned into national thinkers and statesmen who care about Artsakh and the Armenian history. Now they have become different, ‘making every effort’ to liberate Armenia from the de facto Turkish-Azerbaijani yoke. It is not a bad acting, which, other things being equal, could have been even praised.
Indeed, why not take advantage of the Turkish commandant’s factor to rise against his background, erase their own fundamental failures and demonstrate all their ‘best’ qualities of steadfast fighters for values and ideals? Unfortunately, for our ‘actors’ the situation does not predispose to praising. And no matter how many times one reads ‘The Prince’ of Machiavelli and quotes it, one will not become a statesman. Completely and sincerely disrespectful ‘fathers’ of the Third Republic, we know perfectly well who Nikol Pashinyan is, and all his actions give us quite clear ideas about his absolutely open anti-Armenian nature. But at least he does not deny this and is ready to continue his ‘activities’, knowing full well how pathetic, weak and hypocritical those who ruled Armenia before him are.
So, let’s start with you, Mr. Ter-Petrosyan. If you are so concerned about the future of the country and the threat of usurpation of power, then why did not you find the strength and courage in 1996 to admit your defeat in the presidential election and relinquish power without disrupting the emerging national civil society? You are the first president of the independent Armenia, who is ‘concerned’ about Pashinyan’s rule today. In 2008, together with the same Pashinyan, you brought the country to a de facto civil war. For the sake of power, you pitted Armenians against each other, forcing some to shed the blood of others. Now you are ‘grieving’ the loss of a thousand-year–old Armenian Artsakh due to the adventures of your student. However, Armenians all over the world have constantly heard your narratives that Artsakh is a problem, Artsakh hinders peaceful life, Artsakh takes the lives of Armenian soldiers, Artsakh is the main reason for the emigration of Armenians from Armenia, and more.
Like your disciple, you have openly and confidently lobbied for the Turkish agenda and have done much more for Ankara and Baku in finally closing the Armenian issue than Talaat, Enver, Jemal, Ataturk, Rasulzade, Aliyevs, and Erdogan combined. You have committed the main crime of the century against your own country – you have cut off Armenia from Spyurk (Armenian communities abroad), its key resource, without which the country did not have a single chance of success. And, believe me, it will be extremely difficult to find a second ‘politician’ in the Third Republic who has made an equally invaluable contribution to the destruction of Armenia’s future. So why are you ‘worried’? Your closest associate, your student does everything exactly as you taught. Or maybe the source of your sharply awakened national consciousness is the realisation of the inevitability of a fair trial for what you have done? We understand that you would like to blame everything on your ‘foster child’ and get away with it. Again, other things being equal, you could have done something. But these ‘other equals’ will no longer exist, and you understand this well. Instead of pretending to be a statesman, you need one and only one thing – to repent. Perhaps the souls of the tens of thousands of the best sons of the Armenian nation who died for the liberation, preservation and retention of Artsakh – the outpost of the Armenian world that you hate – will not leave the better world (they are in the heaven of the Great Armenia) to find you in the depths of hell, where they send those whom even Satan despises. Find the strength to repent for your sins. You cannot escape responsibility anyway.
