Politician: Armenia is dealing with an ongoing process of  capitulation rather than an act of capitulation 

Politician: Armenia is dealing with an ongoing process of  capitulation rather than an act of capitulation 

ArmInfo.Since the Washington meeting,  the realities that have unfolded make it impossible to characterize the  ruling regime's propaganda campaign  as anything other than a display of blatant cynicism and deception. Deputy  Chairman of the Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabyan wrote  this  on his Facebook page.

 "As the authorities attempt to present the Washington agreements to  our society as a triumphant victory, let us state the following  sobering realities: what the Armenian authorities are  enthusiastically trying to present as an established peace is in fact  only Armenia's acceptance of all the humiliating conditions imposed  by Azerbaijan. However,  this falls short of true peace, since  Azerbaijan still refuses to sign the peace treaty, continues to  occupy  internationally recognized territories of Armenia, holds  Armenian hostages in prisons, destroys the cultural heritage of  Artsakh and all opportunities for the return of Artsakh Armenians,  conducts expansionist Armenophobic propaganda at the state level, and  makes further demands on Armenia. At the same time, Azerbaijan has  not undertake any obligations to renounce these encroachments on  Armenia in this process," the politician noted.

 He added that in fact, Armenia is not even dealing with an act of  capitulation, which, albeit on bad and humiliating terms, would  establish a final peace. Instead, they are dealing  with an ongoing  process of capitulation, the end of which, despite all the  concessions made by the Armenian side, is still not visible.  "For  some unknown reason, 5 days after the signing, the three memorandums  signed between the Republic of Armenia and the United States, which  were supposed to present to our society the terms and regulations for  the creation of the "Trump route" (this is the term Trump uses), have  not been publicized. At the same time, according to the authoritative  Reuters news agency, the agreement provides for a 99-year lease of  the territory of Armenia by the United States, which, in turn, must  transfer it to a private company with the right to sublease, which  cannot be perceived otherwise than as a limitation of the sovereignty  of the Republic of Armenia. 

The situation  forcing Armenia to accept all these humiliating and,  more importantly, harmful demands dictated by Azerbaijan has arisen   as a result of  Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol  Pashinyan's destructive policies during his seven years in power.  Since 2018, the Pashinyan regime has been the culprit of these  endless disasters, trying to present the illusion of a final end to  the process of disasters as an achievement that relieves him of the  blame for the disasters brought to our country and losses. Given  these realities, it is impossible to characterize this propaganda  campaign of the ruling regime as anything other than a display of  blatant cynicism and deception,"  Levon Zurabyan noted.
