Thank you Eric, totally agree with you !!!

[@mariyetta2722]

Thank you Erik for the insights.

[@hadope1186]

Made nothing but excuses about the pows as some sleighted justification to not help them. Another horrible judgement by Pashinyan. Eric is a national treasure. Unfortunately there arent enough like him.

[@TheFinex82]

Eric clearly and professionally demonstrated that Pashinyan does not represent the Armenian interests or has any will to do so in the future! It's been obvious to many Armenians living in the country and in the diaspora for a while....I really hope that he will be challenged by the members of a new opposition soon! We, as a nation, simply can not afford to have such an openly antinational politician to remain in power for long! Thank you, Eric, for yet another great analysis!

[@owlmirror178]

But hopefully not Putin's lapdogs again

[@TheFinex82]

@@owlmirror178 Yes, absolutely! We must do everything possible to not let any of Putin's lapdogs and henchmen near the Armenian government ever again! Armenia is a sovereign country, not the colony of Russia!

[@TheFinex82]

​@@owlmirror178Absolutely agree with you!

[@karinegregorian937]

Why any opposition in Armenia is called pro kremlin?! Don’t you understand that you are repeating pashinian propaganda: if not me, the previous presidents will come back

[@RepatRiarch_official]

as usually great insights. thanks

[@lilitdavidyan3352]

With the PM like this we don’t need enemies…slowly but surely moving towards annihilation.. sad..

[@MK-mz7jg]

I feel SO much pain! How can such a PATRIOT and devoted person like #RoubenVardanyan be interpreted as “sent by russia”?!! The same way they could question Nubar Afeyan as “sent from US”! Why it’s not case?!! nikol should go! The country is being continuously demolished in the past 6 years with nikol. aliyev is happy with nikol and is afraid to lose him. Azeri protesters in Washington DC were praising and chanting “pashinyan”! What else do you want???

[@ilyamuromec2867]

How come he is not talking about Artsah refugees, what is happening to them. Are they being cared for by Armenian government?

[@mariampashayan4628]

I completely agree with you! This is not the time to raise inter political questions about politicians that might or might of not been Russian agents… this is the time to destroy Aliev’s government and make sure no other Aliev comes into power. Pashinyan is starting get on my nerves

[@roland1901]

Lmao pashinyan has been getting in my nerves ever sense he said “even if we lose this war we must not see ourselves as defeated people “ that was the same day the war of 2020 war started

[@mike.8851]

I agree with what you said about Pashinyan's remarks about Vardanyan. Moreover, it's not the time and place to question our compatriot's motives when he returned to Artsakh. I personally think that Vardanyan would undoubtedly take pro-russian position had Artsakh held and had he been in power. But that's a question for tomorrow, today we need to have him free.

[@karinegregorian937]

So what exactly is your point? And who said that Ruben was pro Russian? Because he lived in Moscow? And second the whole Artzakh was pro Russian and what’s that supposed to mean?

[@shaqueha.5017]

Agree 💯. What is the point of having government if he is not going to protect his own citizens. No matter who they are POW's and other prisoners should be brought back home. As far as Genocidal Aliyev, he should shut his mouth. I don't know which one is worst, being a fascist genocidal like Aliyev or being an "oligarch".

[@darbin437]

Этот слабак теперь говорит, что он не подписывал капитуляцию Арцаха. А кто орал на весь мир, что Арцах принадлежит Азербайджану, кто признал территориальную целостность Азербайджана, кто исключил из своего лексикона все, что затрагивает интересы депортированного арцахского населения, кто ничего не делает для восстановления деятельности Минской группы ОБСЕ (все эти вопросы можно продолжать бесконечно)

[@hooshikcarapeti5178]

Exellent performance. Your speech Is waterwashing Pashinyans Speech.

[@user-go5iv1jp1l]

Mr Hakopian, it’s pleasing to listen to you. This time I passed it, thinking it’s about shaming Mr Pashinyan again. I see that Pashinyan genuinely trying to do something , in so very hostile surrounding. And there are not only our external enemies. We have Armenian community in USA with an opinion, Russian Armenians with different agenda, local fractions against him, it looks like baiting a bear. We, Armenians , each one with our personal opinion. Funny enough , we haven’t learn from our ancient history, we can’t see clearly how the modern world works and we repeat the same mistakes all over again. Well, instead of looking for shortcomings, have we thought to unite and support our head of state,it was only few years ago people chose him democratically, over good for nothing previous ones. I see the shortcomings of our nation in the lack of patience, lack of realistic goals and lack of loyalty to our State.

[@levonarakelov8962]

How about dancing in Sushi and saying : Artsakh is Armenia…. This guy will be do anything to retain his chair. He is shame of Armenian nation.

[@Ossii709te]

What is the solution? Bring some Putin loyal Mafia Boss in power and sell Hayastan out, inch by inch?

Yes, I have great political party in mind! It is Bever! Smart, intelligent, intellectual, patriotic, with great connections in western institutions! Only Bever is capable to lead the country!

[@vaghenagut]

I feel so sad that you have lost your long time appeal Vardanyan= Russias responsibility Artsakh= Russias responsibility Also you said nothing about the stupid declaration’s ninth point May be it’s really teeing to see a prime minister who needs to go home instead of riding bicycles and writing poems You have not invited Derluguian for a long time

[@levonarakelov8962]

If Pashinyan don’t have guts to be Leader of Armenia, at least he should have guts to resign. He can be head of Armenian bicycle Association.

[@AsInLifeSoInMusic]

For the life of me, can someone explain why the flag on the screen always looks Red-Blue- Yellow instead of Red-Blue-Orange?

[@JohnSmith-nw9zg]

Thank you Erik

[@kar_162]

I agree with most of what was said, BUT the fact that Mr. Vardanyan is in a prison in Baku doesn’t mean he is NOT a Russian operative, simply because there are at least a couple of others in the same prison (maybe even in the cell next door) that ARE for a fact Russian operatives (ex. Mr. Babayan). Just for clarity- I’m not saying he is, I am saying your argument that he isn’t is not valid. He needs to be freed and then a proper investigation needs to happen.

[@karinegregorian937]

Investigation of what? That he was a Russian spy? What exactly did he spy on? Seriously! All these ridiculous allegations of some conspiracy that are simply preposterous and smell like pashinian propaganda!

[@PeterFischl]

What about this guy? We need to hear more!!!! www.youtube.com/@VoterHQ

[@gagikmikaelyan2267]

Either Vardanyan was delusional or a Russian project (betrayed by the Russians at the end). There is no common sense in why he would move to Stepanakert - (supposedly to help). He could be more effective by staying in Yerevan.

[@avetikharutyunyants9868]

[@xavierlaflamme8773]

Ruben Vardanyan will go down as a real true hero of armenia. Not pashinyan who squirms out of responsibility amd accountability for his diplomatic shortcomings

What a mistake it was for them to take official AZ land back in the 90s, then commit the hojali massacre and never negotiate with AZ until the day they had the power to take it back with almost no civilian casualties or massacres.
