Former Foreign Minister of Armenia Vardan Oskanyan writes on his Facebook page: "In the midst of a deep national crisis, after the loss of Artsakh, the displacement of more than 120,000 compatriots, and the threat of new territorial concessions, one would have expected the Armenian leadership to show humility, moral clarity, and promote national unity. Instead, Nikol Pashinyan initiated an unprecedented and reprehensible rhetorical campaign against the Armenian Apostolic Church and its clergy. The latest blasphemous expressions are not only inappropriate for the head of the state, but also dangerous and corrosive to the foundations of our statehood. What is the Church's "sin" in Pashinyan's eyes? That he dared to speak, raising his moral voice at a time when many institutions were silenced or subdued. The fact that it refuses to bow to a government that is responsible for the military disaster, public demoralization and erosion of Armenia's sovereignty. The fact that it continues to embody and transmit a centuries-old national identity, which neither revolution nor oppression can eliminate. Paradoxically, the Church did not declare war against the state. it is the state that has declared war against the Church. The fact that these attacks coincided with the international conference of the World Council of Churches held in Bern with the participation of the Catholicos of All Armenians and Cilicia is very telling, the purpose of which was to protect the Armenian spiritual and cultural heritage of Nagorno Karabakh. The Church bears the moral weight of history, the trust of the people and an identity that stands above the politics of the past and the catastrophic failures of the present. Pashinyan sees it, and it scares him. This is not the first time in our history that the Church has risen as the guardian of the people in the face of political collapse and ontological threat. For centuries, during the years of foreign rule and the Soviet years, the Armenian Church preserved our collective soul and spoke on our behalf when no one else could. And today he is doing that work again, not as a political force, but as the conscience of the nation. Pashinyan's shameful attacks against the Church are not just words. They are an attempt to humiliate and delegitimize the only institution that remains independent of its control. However, the stronger the attacks, the more visible its insecurity becomes, and the more the people realize who really stands by their side. This is not just a clash between Pashinyan's supporters and the spiritual class. This is a battle for the spirit of Armenia. And when the government chooses to humiliate the Church instead of protecting its people, it loses both moral authority and national legitimacy."

The US Embassy in Armenia quoted Deputy Undersecretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Josh Huck as saying: "We had a wonderful discussion with Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan regarding the growing Armenian-American partnership and the peace process. A strong partnership with Armenia creates well-being for the citizens of our countries."

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.
