ArmInfo.The Sasna Tsrer Party issued a statement in connection with the annual activities of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

The party's secretariat, in a general statement, recalled that  exactly a year ago the criminal regime led by Serzh Sargsyan was  removed from power, which was replaced by Pashinyan and his team.  <The launched process is not completed yet, and therefore it is  impossible to give a complete and unambiguous assessment of what is  happening in the country. At the same time, it is obvious that the  national-revolutionary opposition in the country arose against the  backdrop of the crisis of both the state and the subjectivity of the  citizen. The people got on their feet to overcome the above crises,  however, unfortunately, there are no tangible tendencies in the  implementation of these two goals, "the party noted, pointing to the  emergence of trends of revanchism and attempts to take away the  victory from the people.

However, in <Sasna Tsrer> Pashinyan's team was accused of rejecting  revolutionary logic after receiving power and movement along the path  of the successor of the former regime, thereby voluntarily or  unwittingly laying the foundation for the failure of the goals of the  revolution and the people. The party believes that the first step of  the Pashinyan government was to become a political and legal  assessment of the treacherous and criminal activities of the former  regime and its grave consequences, which has not yet been done.

At the same time, the party expressed concern about the approaches  presented by Pashinyan and his team.  <Pashinyan's negative position  on the issue of lustration and vague explanations regarding  transitional justice already threaten the hopes and expectations of  our people towards the revolution. Plus, a year later, and only after  a direct question from a journalist, does the prime minister report  that the archives of the National Security Service were destroyed  during the previous regime, and therefore lustration cannot be  discussed. Although such statements are erroneous, since not only  archives can become the basis for transitional justice and  lustration, "the party said in a statement.  The party also touched  upon the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and accused the Pashinyan party of  continuing the previous course on this strategic issue and serving  the interests of the Kremlin, where Artsakh is viewed as a bargaining  chip that allows you to manipulate Azerbaijan, and finally turn  Armenia into a banana republic.  The party's secretariat is convinced  that the solution of the problem should be transferred from the  Soviet and post-Soviet contexts to the context of restoring the  territorial integrity of Armenia, de jure inclusion of  Nagorno-Karabakh into the Republic of Armenia. 

<In spite of this, Nikol Pashinyan actively applies the concept of false independence of  Artsakh not only in foreign but also in domestic politics,  willy-nilly feeding the disastrous process of separation of Artsakh  from Armenia. For the same reason, his point of view on the  likelihood of holding a referendum in Artsakh cannot be accepted and  acceptable, since the issue of ownership of the homeland and  territory of the state is not subject to voting. The referendum can  be held solely for the purpose of approving a political and legal  concept of reintegration into the homeland, and in accordance with  the reintegration according to the national principle, "said the  party, which also speaks about unsubstantiated allegations of  encouraging repatriation. <Sasna Tsrer> also touched Pashinyan's  socio-economic policy, assuring that it continues to remain at the  level of wild liberalism, as the logic should enrich the rich and  impoverish the poor, there is no strategy to overcome poverty,  improve the situation of socially vulnerable groups and create decent  living conditions. "Despite official assurances, there are no  efficient and efficient steps to change the structure of the economy,  to implement in this context strategic programs to compile economic  value chains. Nevertheless, Nikol Pashinyan still has enough  confidence of the people and a resource to review their policies  according to revolutionary logic and lead the country out of the  current catastrophic situation and bring it into the mainstream of  development>,  the party concluded .
