Superpowers fighting for Armenia’s Syunik today, political analyst says

Political analyst Argishti Kiviryan touched upon interim Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's latest visit to Syunik Province where he faced angry protests.

"It was extremely important for Nikol to go to the area where he was not accepted. He wanted to give himself hope that he could enter any territory of Armenia,” Kiviryan told a news conference on Saturday.

According to him, Pashinyan's latest visit had worse consequences than the previous one, when his entry into the border region had been blocked.

He stated Pashinyan fails to realize that he has “fallen from grace”, urging him to at least think about his family and children.

“We all see that the part of the society with sober judgment rejects this man. Nikol not only ceded Artsakh, but also put the border of Armenia in danger. As long as he stays in power, the handover of Syunik is a matter of time. This man constantly contributes to the downfall of Armenia. He is a man who led the nation to downfall, which is simply hard to imagine,” the analyst said.

Kiviryan stated resorting to manipulation, Pashinyan tries to mislead the society and push ahead with his “model of downfall”.

"There is a character in George Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” a pig with the ability to hypnotize other animals by twisting its tail. Nikol is just like that pig," he said.

The political analyst stated that Syunik has become a serious geopolitical factor, with superpowers fighting for the region today.

"After the fall of Artsakh and the handover of the zone near Araks, a small corridor remained [Meghri corridor], which has geopolitical significance. It can be a corridor, a door or a wall. And today the superpowers are fighting for Syunik. This struggle is going to heat up,” Kiviryan said.
