When will Pashinyan “resettle” Azerbaijanis in Armenia?

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is content. He is pleased with the paper signed on August 8, according to which Azerbaijan became a shareholder of the communications passing through Armenia. Pashinyan is also pleased that, in his opinion, the issue of Artsakh is closed, and he states that “without closing the Karabakh issue, we would not have peace.”

Although the peace treaty has yet to be signed—despite the authorities having presented it as the cornerstone of peace for the past five years—Pashinyan has already declared that “peace between Yerevan and Baku has come.”

However, Baku has not only refrained from signing the treaty, it has also not abandoned any of its demands that were excluded from the so-called peace agreement. In particular, Baku’s demand to resettle tens of thousands of Azerbaijanis in Armenia.

“The Western Azerbaijan community welcomes the process of normalizing relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia and supports Mr. President’s efforts in this direction. We hope that the promotion of the peace agenda will create conditions for the return of Western Azerbaijanis to their homeland. The Western Azerbaijan community will continue its activities in this area,” said Aziz Alekberli, chairman of the so-called community and a member of parliament.

Alekbari’s statement confirms that Ilham Aliyev and Recep Tayyip Erdogan orchestrated a trick on August 8:

– At the expense of Armenia, Donald Trump was given another “success story” for nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

– At the expense of Armenia, Pashinyan was given an opportunity of signing a paper in Washington in the presence of Trump. The signing of a paper that will be sold in Armenia as a real guarantee of peace. This is exactly what Pashinyan did today in his address.

Another important aspect of Alekberli’s statement is that the Armenian authorities often accuse their opponents of spreading Azerbaijani news and narratives in the Armenian media. Yet, the Telegram channel “Bagramyan 26,” closely linked to Pashinyan’s official propaganda, was the first to circulate false claims that Azerbaijan had begun dismantling organizations associated with the so-called “Western Azerbaijan,” allegedly in connection with the August 8 agreements.

Even setting aside that particular propaganda outlet, it’s difficult to identify any recent speech in the Armenian media landscape more saturated with Azerbaijani narratives than Pashinyan’s address today.

Think about it…
