Armenia`s ruling party discussing `real Armenia` ideology 

ArmInfo.Chairman of the Board of the Civil Contract Party, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol  Pashinyan held a meeting of the party's initiative group on February  27.

As reported by the press service of the State Duma, a discussion of  the draft ideology of real Armenia took place.

The report was made by the deputy from the Civil Contract faction  Taguhi Ghazaryan, who also answered questions from the participants  in the discussion.

Recall that in early February, at a meeting with representatives of  the Armenian community of France, Pashinyan stated that an  ideological transformation is taking place in Armenia and the  existence of the Republic of Armenia in the short and long term  depends on its success, our task is the longevity of Armenia as an  independent state.

"We call this ideological transformation the ideology of real  Armenia. The essence of this ideology is that Armenia is a state with  an internationally recognized territory of 29,743 square kilometers,  which has one task and one goal - to ensure the security, well-being  and happiness of its citizens. The Republic of Armenia does not set  any other goals for itself," Pashinyan said.

For the first time, Pashinyan advanced the idea of confrontation  between <real> and <historical> Armenia on April 10, 2024 in the  country's parliament, stating that <historical> and <real> Armenia  are antagonists and pose the most serious threats to each other.

According to him, <historical> Armenia, willingly or unwillingly,  echoes a number of countries that encroach on the sovereignty,  independence and territorial integrity of real Armenia. In addition,  the Prime Minister pointed out, historical Armenia not only  guarantees eternal enmity with a number of countries, but also gives  them a reason and grounds for an aggressive policy towards the  Republic of Armenia.

It also makes <real> Armenia dependent on the <senior partner> and  deprived of real independence, he noted. <Our vision of historical  Armenia will always lead us into the trap of genocide, finding  ourselves in which we will need a savior and patron, without whom we  cannot exist. The fear of genocide will keep us in the status of an  outpost. "And the outpost does not need territorial integrity, nor  borders, nor sovereignty.  It only needs a patron," Pashinyan said  then. A day later, he called for recording the strategic  impossibility of returning to the idea of historical Armenia.
