Oppositionist: Simultaneous attacks on AAC by Pashinyan and Pashazade  are not a coincidence

ArmInfo. The simultaneous attacks on the Armenian Apostolic Church by RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the head of the Caucasus Muslims Department Allashukur Pashazade cannot be considered a coincidence, as stated by Kristine Vardanyan, member of the RA National Assembly from the opposition faction "Armenia," to journalists.  

According to her, those members of the RA National Assembly who had  the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the draft peace treaty  between Armenia and Azerbaijan were convinced by a specific example  that a denationalization program is being implemented in the country.  The draft  included a provision where the parties agreed to "jointly  fight against revanchists," that is, those who fight for the  interests of Armenia and the Armenian people. Thus, as Vardanyan  noted, this document has already entered into force without being  signed. The MP  stated that at least two episodes confirm this: the  fight against the Armenian Apostolic Church, which is viewed in Baku  as a source of revanchism, and the refusal to deploy third-country  forces on the borders. Last year, Russian troops were withdrawn from  Meghri. 

"The document has not been signed yet, but Pashinyan is already  implementing its provisions," the parliamentarian noted, adding that  the Armenian authorities are taking steps to fulfill other demands of  Azerbaijan that were not included in the text of the peace treaty,  specifically regarding the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia.  Vardanyan also emphasized that when the Artsakh Armenians held a  rally in defense of their rights, they were subjected to active  targeted propaganda of hatred. Now the AAC, which advocated for the  rights of internally displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh on all  platforms, including international ones, has become the target of  hatred. "The attack on the AAC is the result of an agreement between  Pashinyan and Pashazade," the NA deputy emphasized.
