Armenia – July 5 2022

The Turkish leadership on Monday again interfered in Armenia’s internal affairs, Varuzhan Geghamyan (Ph.D.), an expert on the Middle East and the South Caucasus, said on social media on Tuesday.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that the Armenia’s opposition groups are an “obstacle” to the Armenian-Turkish normalization process.

“Moreover, he labeled the opposition as "extremist groups on Armenian streets". Of course, Armenian MFA raised no voice to prevent this verbal intervention,” Geghamyan tweeted.

He accused the authorities of collaboration and failure to defend the interests of Armenian citizens. 

“Let’s not forget about more than a hundred Armenian men have been held in Baku’s prisons for almost two years and whose "status" the capitulant [Nikol Pashinyan] and his regime lowered from "prisoners of war" to "persons held in Azerbaijan", which deprived them of additional legal protection and now no one even talks about them,” Geghamyan wrote on Telegram.

“Happy Constitution Day of the Republic of Armenia, a state that has ceased to exist for more than a year!” he added.
