Former RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan wrote on his Facebook page: "Today, the majority of Armenians are united around one belief: Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan must leave, and the sooner, the better. The differences refer only to the path of that removal: parliamentary no-confidence, mass protests, early elections or waiting for the scheduled elections of 2026. But there is also widespread skepticism that any of these mechanisms will work. But one thing is irrevocable: Armenia cannot afford to stay under Pashinyan's leadership for even one more day. The country stands at one of the most dangerous junctures in its modern history. The areas of national security, foreign policy, democratic governance, economic stability and national solidarity have been significantly disrupted and weakened during the years of Pashinyan's rule. What began in 2018 with promises of hope and transformation - transparency, justice, revival - has today turned into a period of self-reliance, incompetence and strategic failures. Today, it is obvious that Pashinyan not only failed to face the existing challenges, but also dusted the achieved achievements and deepened the vulnerability of the country. He must leave for the future of Armenia. It is time to forge a new path. At the root of Pashinyan's failure is the disastrous management of foreign and security policy. In a region where strategic depth is a necessity, he has led without experience, vision or discipline. His approach to Azerbaijan, with controversial rhetoric and unilateral concessions, has encouraged Baku and isolated Yerevan. During his tenure, Armenia lost Nagorno-Karabakh, more than 120,000 Armenians were displaced, and a centuries-old community was wiped out. These were not inevitable consequences of war. These were a direct result of poor and failed leadership that was unprepared to face the geopolitical reality.

A meeting between the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and the President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian, who is on an official visit to Azerbaijan, took place in Baku. This is reported by the Azerbaijani media. It is noted that at first the meeting of the presidents of the two countries was held with narrow formations, then the meeting with extended formations started.

The phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin was not only about this (the bill on Armenia's accession to the EU - ed.), but also related to current affairs and bilateral relations within the framework of the EAEU. RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this during a meeting with journalists on January 31. This fits into the logic of our bilateral relations and relations within EAEU. More than 50,000 citizens of Armenia collected signatures and addressed a question to the Armenian parliament and government, which corresponds to the statements of the Armenian government.

Levon Kocharyan, deputy of the Armenia faction of the RA NA, referred to the topic of Meghri, which has become the subject of discussion these days, and made a Facebook post. With facts about honey. 1, Heydar Aliyev agreed that Artsakh should join Armenia in exchange for Meghri 2, The Armenian side did not agree to exchange Meghri with Artsakh 3, As a result of brilliant Armenian diplomacy, a settlement proposal appeared on the negotiation table, by which Azerbaijan would only be provided with an overland road (overpass) through Meghri. 4, Artsakh would become part of internationally recognized Armenia, along with the Lachine Corridor 5. Despite the initial agreement, Azerbaijan refused this option at the last moment 6, Today, after the loss of Artsakh, Nikol Pashinyan is negotiating to give Azerbaijan a way through Meghri, without getting anything in return. 7, Artsakh was lost during Pashinyan's rule, Azerbaijan occupied an area larger than Meghri from Armenia and is not going to return it. At the very least, it is strange and dishonest when the perceptions of some officials from the initial stage of the negotiations are leaked, but the actual document that emerged from those negotiations and which clearly states that Meghri would not be traded is not disclosed. The conclusions should be obvious to anyone. These are facts, and the noise generated by the authorities and other forces about all of this is simply aimed at misleading the public again before making another one-sided concession.

The issue of withdrawing Armenia's lawsuit against Azerbaijan from international courts is not on the agenda at the moment. This was announced by Yeghishe Kirakosyan, the representative of Armenia on international legal issues, on September 18, at the Second World Armenian Summit. "The judicial process continues, we are waiting for the court's decisions. International legal processes cannot be opposed to the peace process. Such contrasts are artificial. It is no coincidence that this comes from Azerbaijan, where this idea originated from. This indicates that Azerbaijan is concerned about legal processes. Lawsuits and decisions have a serious impact on the behavior of Azerbaijan. It is important to continue the process, it is a part of the peace process," he said. Kirakosyan explained that the legal process was initiated not only to restore the violated rights of Armenians, but also in terms of interstate claims, it is also a war of narratives. "In the framework of this process, many stories, which Azerbaijan has been putting forward for a long time, are denied. In addition, the positions of Armenia are being strengthened. The lawsuits concern not only the people of Artsakh, but the whole of Armenia. We are talking about the attempt to erase the traces of Armenians in the region," he emphasized. Kirakosyan added that an important part of Armenia's demands against Azerbaijan is the preservation of Armenian cultural monuments in Artsakh. "During the court proceedings under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, we submitted a demand for the protection of the cultural heritage of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, considering that it is one of the manifestations of Azerbaijan's anti-Armenian policy. erasure or falsification of history," he said. Kirakosyan reminded that the court satisfied this demand of Armenia by adopting an interim decision on December 7, 2021.
