When they say that Nikol Pashinyan’s electorate is made up entirely of ignorant people or those who have some benefit from the current government, it is not entirely true. I know high-quality intellectuals who do not have any positions and whose incomes are not related to government sources (nor their close relatives), and these people sincerely think that Pashinyan is an excellent state leader.
After a humiliating defeat in the war, I emphasize that they feel so today, probably giving in to the official propaganda that the loss was due to “the looting of the former.”
Moreover, they believe that the concessions that Pashinyan made to Azerbaijan after 2020 and will still make are also wholly justified and natural.
Those beliefs of theirs, which I consider delusions and mistakes, do not diminish my respect for those people at all. If a person, let’s say, is an actor, artist, or physicist, then I value his art or scientific contribution and not his political views. After all, I remember that most Great Russian writers of the 19th century were wholeheartedly devoted to imperialist ideas. I bow to their genius, although in terms of worldview, I am close to Leo Tolstoy, who was far from any “cult,” even more so from power and power.

In short, I am not offended by Armenian artists and scientists’ “Nicol-side” beliefs. Another question is when a person considers himself a “politician”; that is, he appears at a conventional “pulpit” to explain the nuances of politics to us ordinary citizens.
Ninety percent of Armenia’s “political scientists” are also devoted to the current government, but this devotion is masked by “Westernism.”
Roughly like this: “Blinken called Bayramov and demanded: “Don’t suddenly offend the Armenians, “the USA stands as a guarantor of our security.” Undoubtedly political scientists can be wrong too. But when after such a regular “phone call,” Azerbaijan carries out its regular aggressive actions; those “political scientists” do not admit their mistake and proceed to a similar interpretation of the next “phone call.” The meaning is clear: the West and their alleged ally Pashinyan are good, Russia, which the Prime Minister of Armenia is allegedly removing from here, is bad, and the worst is Pashinyan’s Armenian opponents, who reportedly do not want Russia to leave and, therefore, are against Armenia’s sovereignty. It’s a great political analysis; what to say.
In my opinion, the scientific approach in this arena should be based on the premise that there are no angels and devils anywhere, and not only in this arena.
