"Fact" daily writes:
From the point of view of evaluating the periods of governance of politicians, it is also important to consider how their promises were implemented and what positive changes were made for the state.
It is natural that people in power try to reflect on their promises, showing that they are true to their statements, thereby gaining public trust.
The question is how much of it is actually happening, or how much the figures are just lying.
For example, Nikol Pashinyan, on the threshold of his 7th year in office and ahead of the upcoming elections, started a new "series" with the title "as I promised". It is clear, globally, nothing has been done apart from destruction, failure, collapse, therefore, within the framework of his promises, as a rule, he represents the paving of any road, lighting.
Or at most, the handing over of one or two properties, money, land to the state appears in the center of his attention, which is presented as if "the looted is returned to the people".
Let's leave aside the fact that in reality nothing is being returned to the people, on the contrary, "proud citizens" are being impoverished every day, on the other hand, it publishes such trivial facts that it causes nothing but laughter.
As for his main promises, he is understandably silent on these issues. there is nothing to say, because nothing has been done, even the opposite, the complete opposite of what was promised has been done. Such promises are measured in hundreds.
Let's try to refresh everyone's memory and show one by one how Nikol Pashinyan and his team are trying to mislead people. This time we will look at one example, a painful, tragic example.
You see, Pashinyan once convincingly declared that the Karabakh conflict has no military solution. Moreover, he emphasized that "it is impossible that the Karabakh issue be resolved in a way that is contrary to or inconsistent with the interests of the people and states of Karabakh and Armenia."
It is simply excluded. There can be no such thing.'' As a result, today there are no Armenians in Artsakh to raise the issue of the interests of Artsakh Armenians.
And despite the fact that he personally stated in front of Artsakh residents in Stepanakert that "Artsakh is Armenia and that's it", now he not only recognizes the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, but tries to "prove" that only Artsakh was discussed in Azerbaijan during the entire negotiation process. Moreover, there are cases when Pashinyan fulfilled the complete opposite of his promises regarding Artsakh.
He used to say that if suddenly a solution to the Artsakh issue is proposed, he will come and discuss it with the people. "Let no one think that I will sign any paper secretly from you," he emphasized.
But the public suddenly learned about the tripartite document of November 9 from the press, when Pashinyan made people face the already accomplished fact.
And after that, people were surprised to learn that as a result of the quadripartite declaration in Prague, Armenia recognizes Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan, and no one asked the opinion of the "proud citizens".
Pashinyan's recognition of Azerbaijan's control over Artsakh implies a loss of about 100 billion dollars for the Armenian side only in economic terms, according to modest calculations, which is a huge number. But it is only a number, and the tragedy caused by Pashinyan is not measured by numbers alone.
In general, the main assessment of political figures is given by history. Whether we like it or not, the period of Pashinyan's rule will be marked in history by the fact that he handed over to the enemy a part of our homeland, on which Armenians have lived for thousands of years.
His promises related to Artsakh will be remembered, the huge damages he caused will be remembered, but after years nothing will be remembered about the asphalted (including shamefully poor quality) and illuminated streets.
