RA premier`s speech in European Parliament clear indication of causes  of all troubles facing Armenian people in recent years - Armenian  ex-FM

ArmInfo.Former Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan considers Armenian Prime Minister  Nikol Pashinyan's speech in the European Parliament a clear indication of the causes of all the troubles facing the Armenian people today.

"To all those who still doubt that war and post-war catastrophes, the de-Armenization of Artsakh, the occupation of Armenia's sovereign territories, and the meek acceptance of all of  Azerbaijan's conditions could have been avoided if the person at the  helm of state had even a slight understanding of diplomacy, foreign  policy, and the value of speech, I simply recommend listening to at  least part of Pashinyan's speech yesterday in the European  Parliament.  This man, from the podium of the European Parliament, is  telling everyone that the bishops of the Armenian Apostolic Church  have violated some spiritual canons known only to him, are agents of  influence, and want to destroy his 'world,'" he noted.

At the same time, he noted that these absurd statements by Pashinyan  will, at best, be perceived as ridiculous, and, at worst, will  produce a contemptuous attitude among those seated in the European  Parliament hall. Oskanyan added that he himself cannot describe in  words the impression Pashinyan's speech evoked among those present.  "And if you imagine it, it's not hard to understand that since 2018,  neither during the Artsakh negotiations, nor before the war, nor  during it, nor after it, nor to this day, has this man understood  where and what can be said, what can't be said, what is expected of  you, what doesn't interest anyone, and what betrays your weakness,  ignorance, fear, and outright stupidity. The answer to the question  of why Armenia found itself in this situation lies precisely in this  simple truth," Oskanyan concluded.

It should be noted that on March 11, the Armenian Prime Minister,  speaking from the parliamentary rostrum, declared peace with  Azerbaijan, demanded that the people of Artsakh obtain Armenian  passports and settle in Armenia, and attempted to justify attacks on  the Armenian Apostolic Church by claiming that they had violated  church canons and were agents of influence serving the interests of  third countries
