If former presidents are confident in themselves, why do they avoid debating with Nikol Pashinyan? Konjoryan
If former presidents are confident in themselves, why do they avoid debating with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan? Hayk Konjoryan, head of the "Civil Contract" faction, wrote about this on his Facebook page.
"They keep saying that they were unbeatable negotiators, so come on live and prove how unbeatable your arguments are."
"Why don't you want the people to see your invincibility live?" he wrote.
Let us remind you that yesterday, the office of the third president of the Republic of Armenia, responding to the debate called by Pashinyan, stated that "It is pointless to debate the obvious, especially since the entire history of the negotiation process for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has been presented publicly and in detail a thousand times, both before and after the seizure of power. Especially since the ruler of Armenia did everything to fail the negotiation process. If he really wants to debate, then we recommend that he debate with the presidents of the co-chairing countries - the Russian Federation, the US and France, who in 2009-2013 announced five times about the negotiation format and the principles on the basis of which the Nagorno-Karabakh issue should be resolved."
Bagrat Mikoyan, the head of the office of the second president of Armenia, responded that a controversial topic is necessary for a debate. And the fact that the transfer of the sovereign territories of Artsakh and Armenia is the personal "merit" of the current prime minister is an indisputable historical fact and obvious to all adequate people.
"In 2018-2024, one person had complete power in Armenia, and that one person bears full responsibility for all events. One person has announced that he is negotiating from his own point of view, whatever is necessary, he is negotiating, and that one person is the current prime minister. Of course, no one will discuss serious topics with TikTok comic characters."
"I would like to remain silent about the hint of a survivor hiding behind thousands of police officers and bodyguards; the multi-layered walls of bunkers and hideouts will speak louder about it," the statement reads.
Levon Ter-Petrosyan's spokesman Arman Musinyan also wrote: "It would be extremely useful for our state and society if Nikol Pashinyan would first debate with Nikol Pashinyan. As a result, I am sure that both sides of the debate will fairly justify the other's lying."
Moreover, the Nikol Pashinyan vs Nikol Pashinyan debate will be extremely useful not only on the Karabakh issue, but also on any other topic of concern to society: Amulsar, monopoly of banks, partisanization of the management of higher education institutions, politicization of the appointment of ambassadors, patronage by state/political officials and waste of the state budget through various tenders, patronage, destruction of the independence of the judicial system and dismissal of top judicial officials via SMS, use of law enforcement agencies as a truncheon against political opponents, etc.
"The result will be the same again," he wrote.
After the reactions of the former presidents, Nikol Pashinyan again addressed the former presidents in a video message: “The debate that I proposed to the former presidents should have been important in ensuring that the people would draw a final, unequivocal conclusion about what ultimately happened. I call on the former presidents to think about the debate once again, because the conclusion will eventually take place. I cannot allow this conversation, which has been going on for 4+2 years, to remain incomplete,” he said.
