V Congress of World Azerbaijanis in Shusha causes hysteria in Armenia

REGION  19 April 2022 - 16:57

The forthcoming V Congress of World Azerbaijanis, which will be held for the first time in the liberated "pearl of Karabakh", the city of Shusha, and which is expected to be attended by over 400 representatives of the Azerbaijani diaspora from 65 countries, has already caused a real hysteria among the most rampant media outlets of Armenian propaganda.

Thus, the newspaper "Voice of Armenia", which is now on the payroll of the "Karabakh clan", and had acted as the press service of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Armenian SSR in Soviet times, published a full-page article. The article headlined "Read Pashinyan and the Baku press, and go onto the streets!" was immediately reprinted by other opposition mouthpieces.

In an article, on the one hand, the scribblers who are on the payroll of Robert [Kocharyan, the second Armenian president] and Serzh [Sargsyan, the third Armenian president], complain that "Pashinyan handed over Karabakh" (which is absolutely ridiculous - Karabakh was liberated in autumn of 2020 and there is nothing to surrender now), and on the other hand, they cry about the Fifth Congress of World Azerbaijanis in Shusha. They whine about that Azerbaijanis have just "occupied" Shusha, and now they want to hold their event there. At the same time, both the Armenian diaspora and the incumbent authorities were criticized by the author.

"The question is: when was the last time the Armenian diaspora gathered?! When was the last time the tasks facing the Armenian Diaspora were discussed with the Diaspora?! The question is rhetorical, taking into consideration the destroyed Ministry of Diaspora, the shameful inactivity of the chief commissioner Zareh Sinanyan and the stormy daily work of the current Armenian authorities, aimed at cutting off the umbilical cord connecting the Diaspora with Motherland. Including a number of odious, unprofessional appointments to key diplomatic posts,” – “Voice of Armenia” newspaper exclaims hysterically.

However, this hysteria is not surprising. Firstly, it comes from the former leaders who, unlike the current government, during their twenty-year rule in Armenia were heavily dependent on the financial assistance of the diaspora, a large part of which they successfully pocketed. And secondly, it is difficult for the delicate Armenian nature to accept the fact that the Azerbaijanis have not only returned to their lands, not only are they rapidly restoring the liberated cities and villages, but they are also holding large-scale events there, including international ones.
