Politician: It was not Pashinyan personally who lost the war, but the  Armenian general living in the castle

ArmInfo. Last year's war in Artsakh was not lost personally by Nikol Pashinyan, but by an Armenian general living in the castle. Chairman of the Christian Democratic  Party, Doctor of Political Science Levon Shirinyan, expressed a  similar opinion to ArmInfo.

"The war was lost by a general who turned out to be only able to give  interviews and criticize everyone and everything, but not himself.  For years, we were told myths about the invincibility of the Armenian  army, and then one day it turned out that the Armenian army was not  ready for war, and the Armenian general was besides, he is still  uneducated. And all this is due to decades of reign in our country of  a kleptocratic, anti-popular and anti-state regime in its essence,  "he stressed.

Expressing his conviction that one of the goals of the 44-day war was  to disable the power of Pashinyan, Shirinyan stressed that the  so-called opposition did everything to squeeze the maximum out of  Armenia's defeat for its own narrow-group goals. In this light, he  hypothesized that on the night of November 9 to Nov. 10, the people  who broke into the Armenian government building intended to kill the  prime minister and thus carry out a coup. And the speaker of the  parliament Ararat Mirzoyan survived only by a lucky chance.

According to the politician, only the Armenian people will not allow  the planned continuation of this entire destructive scenario. And  today the power in Armenia should be changed exclusively through  elections.  Noting that today all the same people from the past are  preparing the ground with all their might in order to plunge Armenia  into post-election upheavals,  he forecasted, that one way or  another, the political force of Nikol Pashinyan will still come out  on top in the anticipated early elections.

" I expect, that in case of transparent, free democratic elections,  elections without external interference, the " Civil Contract " will  gain 40-45%. Our party intends to take the second or third place. The  main thing today is to exclude the very possibility of reincarnation  of a kleptocratic, feudal Armenia's past. In any case, today we  expect only one thing from them - the return of what was stolen from  us, "he stressed.

According to Shirinyan's estimates, "people from the past" have been  renting Syunik for decades, plundering its bowels and filling only  their own pockets. And today they want to avoid punishment thanks to  the judges they own. Today they talk about the surrender of Syunik,  which, according to the politician, is absurd. In parallel, these  same people assert their own readiness to return Shushi, Hadrut, etc.  which, in his opinion, is an absolute lie, since only the Armenian  people are capable of returning all this.

"Yes, the authorities are to blame. Yes, the authorities have  demonstrated their own incapacity. But they are not to blame for  everything without exception. Its main fault is in the inability to  realize, implement the achievements of the revolution. But the  opposition is not an opposition, but an echo from the backward,  provincial and not the most pleasant past. We must finally get rid of  all these Kocharyans, Sargsyans, etc., to exclude even the  possibility of participation in the future of the country of the  rudiments of the past.  These people did everything to weaken Armenia  and Artsakh. And in a political sense, today they are simply does not  exist, "the politician summed up.
