From yesterday's statements of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan, it became clear that Nikol Pashinyan has a serious rival in the CP, in the person of Mirzoyan, who tried to surpass the "boss" by using "mutilovkas" and "crutites" to cover up the miserable reality they created. And the reality is that the highest authority of Armenia has become the representative of Erdogan and Aliyev in Armenia and fulfills their will one by one, even in sensitive issues for Armenians, such as refusing to recognize the genocide. Just 2 years ago, during his visit to Yerablur on the Army Day, Ararat Mirzoyan, in a briefing with journalists, was arguing that what does it have to do with the fact that "one line" is written in the KP pre-election program.
"As before, we are pursuing the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. And we consider the international recognition and condemnation of the genocide both in the context of preventing crimes against humanity in the world, and in the context of strengthening our security in our region," Mirzoyan said in 2022. on January 28, in Yerablur, and during the budget discussion, he made a shameful statement that "International recognition of the Armenian Genocide is not our number one priority."
Moreover, Mirzoyan gave as much importance to the crime against 1.5 million Armenians as a "hole". "Researching the tragic holes in history, the Armenian Genocide, or making it the number one priority is certainly not the agenda of the Foreign Ministry." After making such a shameful, anti-national confession publicly for the first time, it seemed that the head of the foreign ministry should blush with shame and try to correct his mistake, however, on the contrary, he scolded Armen Rustamyan, who asked him a question about the counter-attack against the oppositionists, genocide and CP plan, why are you snickering, smirking, "the world has changed" after writing the plan. Rustamyan was wondering whether you will implement your plan now or not. "It is clear that it is written, but the world, especially in these 5 years, is undergoing such rapid changes, such countries are at war with each other, reconcile with each other, how can the words written before such processes have the same force and application as those that have already been changed? in the world.
This is a dynamic thing, and I don't think a sarcastic smile is appropriate, Mr. Rustamyan," said Mirzoyan like a student who had studied Pashinyan's lessons. One of the important figures of Armenia's foreign policy lost his balance so much from that innocent question that he switched to political, even boyish talk. that the opposition does not have the right to evaluate whether they have fulfilled or not fulfilled the provisions of the program, the voter will give its evaluation when the time comes, then he went on to self-praise.
"It is also thanks to my work that you can express your opinion on national issues" and "I can't afford sentiments, I make sure that you live in a sovereign territory of 29,743 square kilometers," he said, thousands of kilometers to the enemy in a few years. the representative of the delegated authority. According to Mirzoyan, the number one priority of the Armenian Foreign Ministry is to ensure peace and stability around Armenia. It is a fact that they have not ensured peace, territorial integrity, or sovereignty, but they are shouting in the hope that a few naive people will still believe in them.
