Pashinyan dragged the political gravestone on himself: he turned into a service provider for external players

There are two types of dictators. The first are educated, literate and noble-looking dictators, they are able not only to subjugate everyone, but also to dictate their will to the world. They do not lie under anyone, they do not lick anyone's shoes, they do not run to anyone on all fours at the first call. Their name is given both with curses and with admiration, they remain in history both the greatest criminals and geniuses.

The second type of dictators are the tyrants, who are usually ignorant and bum-like in appearance. Their appearance never inspires awe, they are never able to have any influence on world affairs, no one pays them any attention, and they never represent anything of themselves. This type is constantly looking for patrons outside and only after receiving the support of others can they resort to internal repressions in order to continue their miserable existence.

Today, Nikol Pashinyan finally proved his monstrous nature, and it is not difficult to guess what type of dictator he belongs to, especially since, as expected, he set the repression machine into action after returning from Turkey and receiving Erdogan's support.

But today he simultaneously pulled his political tombstone over himself. Pashinyan is no longer a political corpse. With these actions, he will never gather a new electorate, the society has long been polarized and finally oriented. As for external players, the card that Pashinyan called “democracy” has been “struck” forever. Of course, this does not mean that geopolitical centers will abandon him, of course not, but from now on they will consider him not as a partner, but as a service provider. Depending on the size and quality of his services, he will receive carte blanche to continue internal repressions.

However, everything else from now on depends on the Armenian society, to what extent will we continue to tolerate his pitiful presence in the post of Prime Minister? From now on, the ball is in the society's court; if we adapt to his existence, then the world, especially the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem, will continue to use Pashinyan and reap their benefits. And if the society stands up together, if all layers unite, then the international community, including Erdogan, Pashinyan's ideological father, will reject him.

Pashinyan cannot even get asylum, because no one needs someone who has surrendered and is surrendering their own homeland, who denies national values, who denies the fact of subjecting their own people to genocide, who renounces their native history and memory. A person who renounces their homeland and nationality places themselves outside of international law, and neither mercy nor forgiveness applies to them.

So, from now on, we ourselves will be responsible for our fate: either we take to the streets or we deprive ourselves of the right to protest.
