Who Are We Today — and Who Will We Be Tomorrow?
The future of Armenia is not just about the next elections.
It’s about justice, memory, and accountability.
What happens when Nikol Pashinyan steps down as Prime Minister? Will he walk away quietly, leaving behind only dust and fear — or will there be a reckoning?
More importantly:
Will he and his team ever answer for what they did to our country?
Artsakh: A Loss That Cannot Be Forgiven
No government in modern Armenian history bears as much responsibility for national tragedy as Pashinyan’s administration.
• The 44-Day War of 2020 — lost
• Capitulation Agreement — signed in secrecy
• 2023 Surrender of Artsakh — executed without resistance
• Ethnic cleansing — tens of thousands of Armenians displaced
And yet — not one official resigned, not one apology, not one act of contrition.
5,000 Dead Soldiers. 5,000 Lives. Zero Accountability.
Thousands of young Armenian soldiers died.
Who paid the price for:
• disastrous war planning?
• military appointments based on politics, not merit?
• roads left in ruin while soldiers bled out?
• lies told to the public until the very end?
No one.
Because Pashinyan’s team lives by one rule:
“The people forget. Power matters.”
The Team of Untouchables
When Pashinyan leaves, we will still have:
• ministers who destroyed healthcare, education, and policing
• governors turned local oligarchs
• officials who treat public tenders as personal bank accounts
• judges who signed anything brought from above
Will Pashinyan leave — but his system of silence and impunity remain?
What Will Happen to Pashinyan Himself?
History offers several scenarios:
1. Escape — like Yanukovych or Saakashvili
2. Immunity deal — in exchange for peaceful transition
3. Criminal trial — if new leadership dares
4. Oblivion — if society once again accepts silence
But whatever path he takes, one thing is clear:
The Armenian people deserve the truth.
Consequences for Armenia’s Future
Without justice, there will be no national healing
Without trials, there will be no new beginning
Without removing his network, the system remains
Without confronting the past, we’ll repeat it again
Conclusion
When Nikol Pashinyan leaves power, truth — not politics — must come next.
Because we cannot live in a country where:
– You can lose a war and remain Prime Minister
– You can surrender land and call it peace
– You can destroy the army and speak of patriotism
Truth requires courage.
Will the next government have it?
