Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is carrying out "withdrawial of troops from Artsakh”, political scientist Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan warns.

"While we are discussing which country Shurnukh [a village in Syunik Province] was part of during the Soviet period, Nikol the traitor is withdrawing troops from Artsakh. Soldiers are transferred to Armenia under the pretext of the rotation of troops, afterwards they announce that the Azerbaijanis do not allow the servicemen to return to their positions to carry out their service. And this is a constantly repeated process,” he wrote on Facebook on Monday.

“I am simply amazed at the level of our people’s indifference towards the homeland. Let's put aside the broad masses of the pubic, what about the intelligentsia? What about the political, military and religious leaders? How can a vile traitor deceive the whole nation like this?

“So, let me tell you that after Shurnukh, the village of Tigranashen (Kyark) in Ararat Province is to be handed over to the enemy [Azerbaijan]. Just don’t ask how I found out about it. The answer can be found on the internet. Search for and read the statement released by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) a month and a half ago, which clearly states that in addition to Yeraskh, a checkpoint will be set up in the village of Paruyr Sevak. Then find Paruyr Sevak village on the map and everything will become clear. Do I have to say what is next?

“Now, please explain to me why we are taking the handover of Shurnukh so hard, but we fail to notice the actual loss of the last fragments left from Artsakh at the moment. Because Shurnukh is on the territory of the Republic of Armenia? Seriously? Are we still differentiating between Armenia and Artsakh? What else can I say, let's just get ready for the events in Tigranashen ..." the political scientist said.
