Pashinyan cut the umbilical cord of the Diaspora

The ideological transformation of Armenian society is a very complex process. So far, the authorities have not had much success. And it's not about the weakness of the ruling team. It is impossible to destroy in six years what has been built and cemented for two centuries.

The myth of the so-called "genocide of 1915" caused particularly great damage to the Armenian identity. This seed fell on fertile ground, which had already been plowed by the church and the Dashnak movement, which laid the foundation for the Armenian terror. It is a lie that Armenians developed cave-like emotions towards their neighbors after the events in the Ottoman Empire and can be justified by "noble revenge." They began to be cultivated immediately after the resettlement of this ethnic group to the South Caucasus, as fuel for the expansion of their habitat. By 1915, the Armenian mentality was ready to accept this, sorry, propaganda sperm and give birth to a monster.

The hatred and sense of ethnic superiority fostered by the criminal church have produced the expected results. However, it was only after the Second World War, when the worldwide recognition of the Holocaust prompted the Armenians to become more active. It's hard to believe that the tragedy of the Jewish people could have caused envy, but it did. "How are we worse off?" - the ideologists of "from sea to sea" thought and launched a flurry of activity around the world through the diaspora, which had secured preferences for itself even before the Second World War, playing on traditional European Turkophobia. After the events of the First World War, Armenians moved to Europe and America, clearing a place for themselves in the sun with pitying stories and tears. Turkophobia and Islamophobia have helped open many doors for them. By the way, in September 2023, the Armenians of Karabakh counted on the same effect, having left Azerbaijan en masse in the hope of moving on a tearful wave to Europe and the United States. But neither of them accepted them. Times have changed.

It is no secret that the myth of the "Armenian genocide" was born in the middle of the last century in the USSR against the background of Turkiye's accession to NATO, and was spread around the world by the Diaspora. Interestingly, the Armenian theme has always been met with the same understanding in both the West and the East. This is the only issue on which the poles had no discrepancies. Due to this, the "genocide", which had no place in history, became the subject of political pressure, blackmail and scientific research, extending its coverage to the Karabakh conflict, which was also overgrown with myths and fantasies.

We started talking about this today in connection with the ongoing fuss in Armenia over the dismissal of the director of the Museum-Institute of "Genocide" in Yerevan. The day before, the Minister of Education of the Republic of Armenia, Zhanna Andreasyan, was bombarded with questions about this

It should be recalled that the former director of the institution, Edita Gzoyan, was fired due to the fact that during the visit of US Vice President Jay D. Vance to Yerevan, she undertook to educate the distinguished guest on the topic of the "Artsakh genocide" and other "Armenian genocides" in Azerbaijan. Accompanying Vance to Tsitsernakaberd, Gzoyan took with her the relevant propaganda literature on the "Artsakh issue" and handed the books to the American. Well, to read it during the flight to Baku and demand that Azerbaijan immediately return the Armenians to Karabakh.

Having learned about such arbitrariness of the head of a state institution, the Prime Minister of Armenia demanded that the "patriot" write a letter of resignation. Nikol Pashinyan called Gzoyan's behavior provocative and contrary to the government's foreign policy course. This lady was appointed director just two years ago, when ideological transformations had already begun in Armenia. But Gzoyan has worked in a phobic institution for more than twenty years and therefore did not pay attention to the changes in the rhetoric of the authorities. She must have been seriously preparing for Vance's visit, collecting books that should be secretly handed over to the distinguished guest. Knowing Pashinyan's attitude to the issue of "genocide" and his position in the normalization process with Azerbaijan, she chose a convenient moment and presented the books to the US Vice President.

In normal States, such steps are not taken without coordination with official structures. The so-called Armenian "genocidologists"... Yes, such a specialty has been invented. So, Armenian "genocidologists" and their foreign counterparts claim that the Museum-Institute of "genocide" is not a tourist site, but a serious research institution. If so, then this office should realize that the vice president of the world's largest power is not a tourist to shove brochures and brochures with bright pictures into his hands at his discretion. The anti-Azerbaijani materials were a provocation, and not so much against Azerbaijan as against the Armenian authorities themselves. While the country's leadership is trying its best to create a positive image for the Republic of Armenia in the eyes of its neighbors, someone named Edita Gzoyan is ruining his efforts. Moreover, it ruins the efforts of not only Pashinyan, but also the president of the United States itself, who considers himself a benefactor of the Armenian-Azerbaijani settlement.

The world is tired of the "genocide of 1915". This myth has outlived itself, outdated, worn out to the holes. It can now be sold only in one set with the "genocide of Artsakh". This topic is more recent and has not yet become so boring to those circles that have always supported the "Armenian issue", built a career on it and made money.

Now the acting director has been appointed instead of Gzoyan. Rumors about his "connections with Baku" are already spreading about him. This means that the brain of this official is not infected with the virus of cave hatred. It is unlikely that he will stay in this post for long. They simply won't let him work. And the former director expects that if (God forbid for Armenia) Pashinyan loses the election, she will be returned to her former post with music and a red carpet.

The current government has resolved the issue of Gzoyan irrevocably. "A management issue has arisen. That's the point, and the issue is settled for me," Andreasyan told reporters, adding that the issue of reinstating Gzoyan would not be raised, but she could continue working as a scientist, including at the Museum itself.

Unfortunately, the "Artsakh research department" in this institution has not been closed. He continues to work, and the so-called scientific research in this direction continues. There is a whole staff there, and the Minister of Education has stated that they can continue their "scientific activities." At the same time, insider sources of the Armenian media note that Andreasyan did not give any clear answers regarding the work of this department. 

It would be good if there was no "Artsakh department" in the institution from which the provocateur Gzoyan was asked. A scientific institution in a country should not be prohibited from opening branches dedicated to other countries and regions. It is also impossible to forbid Armenian historians to study the history of the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan. But this applies only to cases where research is purely scientific in nature and is not a springboard for political provocations, territorial claims and armed terror. The Armenian "genocidology" deals with just the latter.

It is funny that the "genocidologists" of Armenia, the United States and Europe, who signed the appeal to the Government of the Republic of Armenia, declare that the museum is a scientific center, and its leadership, they say, should be protected from political interference. It is strange considering that the institution operates according to the instructions of the diaspora and even the diaspora directs the board of trustees. The institution is actually a tool for influencing and maintaining a toxic outbreak in the South Caucasus. Gzoyan hardly expected to lose her post, because so far the so-called museum has done what it wanted, and there have never been any questions about it. The first alarm bells sounded when Nikol Pashinyan questioned the traditional interpretation of the events of 1915. And now he has openly opposed another provocation by the so-called scientists. Because it cannot allow "scientific studies of the genocide in Artsakh" to be conducted under the supervision of the Diaspora against the background of the peace process and all attempts to convince Baku that the Armenian society is capable of correction.

It is the Diaspora that is most outraged by recent events. The chairman of the museum's Board of Trustees, Raymond Gevorgyan, resigned in protest. Gevorgyan represents the Diaspora. As you can learn from the Armenian media, he is a French (who would doubt) historian who has devoted himself to the study and teaching of the "Armenian genocide". In the past, he was the director of the Nubarian Library in Paris, and now teaches at the University of Paris Saint-Denis and directs research at the Institut Français de Geopolitique. In 2010, Gevorgyan was awarded a special prize by the then President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, for his invaluable contribution to the dehumanization of the Armenian mentality.

The "debacle" committed by Pashinyan in the museum is a signal to the Diaspora that the Armenian state intends to cut this umbilical cord. Yerevan cannot tell the diaspora, but it is quite possible to block this channel. On Monday, the Chief Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs, Zare Sinanyan, told reporters that official Yerevan had not given any instructions to the Diaspora structures regarding statements about Karabakh.

And that's understandable. Because Armenia was created by the Diaspora, not the other way around. Until now, the Armenian state has served as a toy of world Armenians, and it was behind all the tragedies that have befallen the region in recent decades. Pashinyan wants to turn the country into a real state, and for this it is important to get the main obstacles out of the way.
