In an op-ed published in the nationalist Turkish newspaper “Aydinilik,” political commentator Erkin Feyaz Esli writes “Turkey is poised to achieve its greatest foreign policy victory since the Atatürk era. President Tayyip Erdoğan is about to remove the final obstacle to Armenia’s direct rapprochement with Turkey.”
“The final obstacle was Catholicos Garegin II, head of the Armenian Orthodox Church. He represents the cornerstone of fervent Armenian nationalism. His removal would transform Armenia into a friend of Turkey. The secular government in Yerevan would not resist Ankara’s demands,” continues Esli.
Earlier this week we learned that Pashinyan has asked for direct foreign intervention in Armenia’s upcoming National Assembly elections – to help him keep his power.
Now enemy media is confirming what we suspected all along – that Pashinyan and his actions are being controlled by Erdogan.
In a few months, there is a golden opportunity for Armenians to end the unending nightmare. National Assembly elections is the democratic opportunity for the people of Armenia to take back control of the country.
There is a silent majority in Armenia, as more than 50% of voters have not been voting in recent elections. We are confident that a 10% increase in voter turnout will undoubtedly prevent the return of the Pashinyan regime.
