Former RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian wrote on his Facebook page.
"It is difficult to describe Nikol Pashinyan's tenure as a national disaster. In six years, his arrogant non-competence and political short-sightedness have left the humiliated shadow from a proud nation.
During his rule, Armenia suffered the most destructive defeat in its modern history, a complete loss of Artsakh, deportation of the Armenian population and thousands of victims. This is not only a history of failure on the battlefield, but defeats a leader, whose arrogance, ignorance and reasonable councils are taken to the earth.
Today, when the Armenian hostages are still suffering from Baku, some of the sovereign Armenian territories are concessed, and Pashinyan has lost any moral and political legitimacy.
The country's survival requires its immediate removal.
Pashinyan's management is a unprecedent for the inability of strategic forecast. Since taking over the post, he has shown dangerous ignorance in foreign policy and military issues. Unlike the former leaders of Armenia, the regional complications managed by cautious and realism, Pashinyan's approach was "mastery" of carelessness. His provocative rhetoric alienated the allies and encouraged Azerbaijan to start the destructive war of 2020. When the inevitable catastrophe struck, his decisions, with daring persistence, not wisely, guaranteed our crushing defeat. Five thousand Armenian soldiers paid their own lives for his invention, and another ten thousand became wounded with a broken future.
Instead of learning lessons from this disaster, Pashinyan doubled his mistakes.
Instead of resigning with dignity, he clung to the government, rejecting responsibility.
His government was involved in the cynical campaign in search of scapegoes, accusing of the former governments, external allies, and even the Armenian people, which were completely. But history does not lie. It is his management that led to the complete loss of Artsakh, the deportation of 120,000 Armenians and the unprecedented disruption of the territorial integrity of Armenia.
The humiliation does not stop. Under Pashinyan's reign, Armenia has become a vassal state, constantly forced territorial, historical, constitutional and diplomatic concessions. His foreign policy has been unstable and self-destructive, burning bridges with allies at the same time unable to ensure alternatives. His failures have left Armenia under the mercy of isolated, vulnerable and opponents. Even now, when Armenian prisoners are in the Azerbaijani prison, its government has no will or jurisdiction to fight for their release.
Perhaps the most impoverished is that Pashinyan recently committed comments of the Armenian Genocide, incomprehensible betrayal against his own nation's history. The humiliation of the greatest tragedy of the Armenian people by the Armenian leader is unacceptable. This is an extreme insult to a country that has already paid an excessive price for his catastrophic failures. But Pashinyan still has defenders who know that his rhetoric and actions are not defendable.
Guided by personal and maybe material interests, they are trying to find delicate and crooked language and resources to justify him.
These individuals are equally dangerous because they make Pashinyan's destructive policy possible and hinder the progress of the nation. They must be taken against their excuses and shows them. Pashinyan's further tenure is not only a political issue, but a national emergency. His management was a period of constant humiliation, defeat and decline.
He manages not as a leader, but as a man who desperately clinges to power, making decisions based on self-preservation, not a national interest. Armenia can no longer endure its failures. The longer he stays in the post, the more harm will be done.
The time for excuses is over. Pashinyan must leave for the sake of the dignity, security and future of Armenia. "
