Do Pashinyan and his circle believe they can cause thousands of deaths, abandon Artsakh and simply walk away: Vartan Oskanian

Pashinyan and his entourage know that what they have done is unforgivable, and they fear the judgment day is coming. Former Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian wrote about this on his Facebook page:

Lately, there has been no shortage of statements from those in positions of power, both in and out of the National Assembly. The more tragic the consequences of their policies and actions for the Armenian people, the louder—and more petulant—their language, tone, and posture have become. As one watches and listens to the theatrics of Pashinyan and his cohorts, one cannot help but wonder:

Do Pashinyan and his circle truly believe they can cause thousands of deaths, abandon and concede Nagorno-Karabakh, surrender territories from Armenia proper, erode the national spirit, abuse public funds, maintain power through coercion, trample the Constitution—and then, one day, simply walk away, go home, and live normal lives? Do they imagine they can wash the blood from their hands and mask the stench of betrayal with self-serving speeches and hollow bravado? If they genuinely believe this, they are not merely cynical—they are delusional.

The desperate polish of their public image, the choreographed appearances, the vacuous rhetoric, the inflated displays of bravado—these are not signs of strength or conviction. They are symptoms of fear. These are not the gestures of people standing tall, confident that history will absolve them. They are the nervous tics of men who know, deep down, that they have sinned—against their people and against the arc of Armenian history.

Their overcompensation is a silent confession: they know what they have done is unforgivable, and somewhere within, they fear the reckoning they know will come. No costume of invincibility will shield them from the verdict of truth—or from the justice that truth demands.
