The "Fact" daily writes:
Azerbaijan's criticism of Artsakh and occupation is one of the most tragic pages of Armenian history. And Pashinyan's policy is based on constant concessions and generating ideas for not being an alternative to concessions. In fact, Pashinyan operates by the logic that if those concessions were not done, we had to make greater concessions.
In other words, the concessions made are presented as "salvation." During his last press conference, his red thread was that he allegedly recognized Artsakh in October 2022, recognized Armenia's territorial integrity. What, did you want the territorial integrity of Armenia to be recognized? And the most amazing thing is that Pashinyan states that he regrets that Artsakh did not recognize it as part of Azerbaijan.
Thus, perhaps Pashinyan is not the first time not "manuals", but directly confessful that he personally recognized Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan or, in other words, to Azerbaijan. Before that, he regularly tried to throw the responsibility of what happened. Within the framework of it stated that the former authorities have already handed over Artsakh to the Alma Ata Declaration of Azerbaijan from the beginning to the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and so on.
But now Pashinyan reveals the manipulary nature of his statements. If the previous past Artsakh was recognized as part of Azerbaijan, what was the need for him to personally adopt the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan? Moreover, what was the need to recognize it earlier if he simply had to "reconciliate with the fact that?"
In fact, it is obvious that during the former authorities, Artsakh has never had any talk of recognizing Artsakh in Azerbaijan. Moreover, the former authorities held talks within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs to reach internationally recognition of Artsakh, including through the status of the status. And Pashinyan first furthered the talks from his "zero point" to reach the international recognition of Artsakh with his famous statement that as a result the international community will be monitored to support us.
But the international community could not do anything when Pashinyan already recognized Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan. After all, it is as a result of recognizing Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan that Baku has freeding its arms, blocking it, then by aggressive attacking Artsakh in 2023.
Then we surprise why the international community did not take steps during these events. There are even accusations why the Russian side, particularly Russian peacekeepers, did not intervene and left. International actors could not do anything, as the Armenian leader personally handed over the territory of Artsakh to Azerbaijan. Perhaps if it weren't for that recognition, the events developed differently.
And even when Armenia was silent during Artsakh's criticism, if it weren't for Prague, foreign forces could raise the issue that Azerbaijan's actions are illegal. And in the case of Armenia's recognition, Azerbaijan is already the statement of the Prague statement with the participation of the Armenian leader, it shows that its actions had a "legal grounds." Well, it turns out that Nikol Pashinyan accepted that it is "their territory", and whatever they want to "in their territory."
Pashinyan's self-confession shows that the Armenian authorities have created conditions that aggression against Artsakh starts and it will be evicted. But the other side of the issue here is that after announcing all this, a significant part of the society is still silent and still tolerates Pashinyan's government.
It is difficult to say, what is the reason why the Armenian authorities managed to silence the society?
