The next article by Lilit Galstian first appeared in Yerevan At this time on Might 22, 2022 and has been translated for publication within the Armenian Weekly. Galstian represents the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) as a parliamentary member of the Nationwide Meeting of Armenia.
This translation affords the English-speaking world the chance to judge the extent of the harm inflicted upon Armenia and Artsakh by the present administration. It displays the elemental collapse of statecraft and the oath to guard the nation by this collaborative authorities. Just like Vichy France, the present administration pursues the insurance policies of the enemies of Armenia and Artsakh as its personal and curiously shares the identical “detractors” inside and out of doors Armenia, as do our enemies.
The assertion made by the President of the Council of Europe Charles Michel following the Pashinyan-Aliyev assembly just isn’t solely about putting the ultimate nail in Artsakh’s coffin, nevertheless it additionally initiates the disintegration of Armenia and the ultimate capitulation of her statehood.
At this assembly:
- There was not a single phrase concerning the ongoing Azeri aggressions over the last 12 months, a number of violations of the territorial integrity of Armenia and the presence of Azerbaijani army items on Armenian soil.
- Nothing was talked about of the return of the POWs and captives.
- There was no point out of the fitting and standing of Artsakh’s self-determination, a whole abdication of duty on the difficulty. The settlement of the Artsakh battle has been diminished to the extent of “points” associated to the safety and rights of the Armenian inhabitants of Karabakh (assuming there may be an Armenian left there).
- A immediate demarcation process is printed, which is geared toward ceding territories from Armenia to Azerbaijan, leaving Artsakh to Azerbaijan, and recognizing the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
- Underneath the purpose of communications, it’s clear that Armenia will endure new losses of territorial integrity and sovereignty. Azerbaijan and Turkey will topic Armenia to move rules, which implies that free motion by means of Armenia will probably be restricted and hampered. That is an unthinkable risk to depopulate Armenia.
- The peace settlement, which has already been finalized, will announce the ultimate capitulation of Armenia, courtesy of the Anglo-Saxon “democracy” challenge that introduced this administration and its catastrophic plans to Armenia in 2018.
- In parallel with all this, the Rubinyan-Kilic talks are ongoing, which in flip contribute to the political downfall of Armenia.
- The EU’s guarantees of socio-economic growth are roughly equal to the US-backed democracy in Afghanistan and the Arab world. Your Counsel is paid by the value of Armenia’s destruction.
And whereas an expertly positioned insidious traitor is promoting our statehood and the nation piece by piece, some individuals nonetheless select to take a seat of their residing rooms, sip their espresso and focus on Ishkhan’s voice, Vanetsyan’s hair, Ashotyan’s shirt shade, Galstyan’s sneakers, the sound of patriotic songs from the sq. or the rising smoke from the bonfires. We live the proverbial Nero taking part in the violin whereas Rome was burning. Will we get up in time to extinguish the fireplace, or should we search for what stays of us within the ashes, if any?
There’s judgment, and there’s a judgment day.
