Head of UAR: Pashinyan subjecting Armenian people to psychological  terror

ArmInfo. Chairman of the Union of Armenians of Russia (UAR) Ara Abrahamyan spoke about the reasons for his lengthy  passport control at the Yerevan Zvartnots airport.   He also shared  his stance on Armenia's European integration,  the  government's policy on the Armenian Genocide and  its relationship  with the CSTO.

The head of the UAR believes that with such actions, the Armenian  authorities, led by Nikol Pashinyan, are trying to intimidate people,  including him. However, according to him, he has nothing to fear as  he has not done anything illegal and has done a lot of good in his  homeland. He mentioned several humanitarian projects carried out both  in Armenia and in Artsakh. According to him, most likely, the reason  for the attempt not to let him into the country is his active  socio-political activities in Armenia. "I have been helping people  all my life. I have implemented many programs in Armenia. The SAR has  640 offices throughout Russia, and we are one of the leading  community organizations in the Russian Federation.  Probably, because  of my activities, they want to intimidate me," he said at a press  conference in Yerevan on March 31.

Abrahamyan criticized the current government's policy, including  towards Artsakh. He noted that Pashinyan gave up so easily because he  didn't feel a deep connection to the Armenian land, as he had not  made any  investments there. He then criticized the Armenian  intelligentsia and business community for their passivity and  indifference towards the fate of the Motherland.  "Our people are  disunited, and Nikol Pashinyan is to blame for this division into  "black and white". We need to come together around the issues facing  our country," Abrahamyan believes. He added that he had brought a  book about the Armenian Genocide to the event, as historical events  cannot be consigned to oblivion. "The issue of consigning the  Armenian Genocide to oblivion depends on these authorities headed by  Nikol Pashinyan. He is making decisions unilaterally and disregarding   laws," the head of the UAR noted.

He noted that  the Armenian authorities, led by Pashinyan, were  responsible for surrendering Artsakh and refusing to defend it, and  the people of Artsakh were forced to flee to Armenia under the threat  of death, and now they are denied social assistance. Abrahamyan also  criticized the Armenian government's initiative on European  integration, expressing the belief that Armenia will never be  accepted into the EU, and these actions will damage relations with  the Eurasian Economic Union. The head of the UAR also stated that it  was the incompetent policy of the Armenian authorities that led to  the deterioration of relations between Armenia and the CSTO.
