Analysts criticize Armenian authorities' passivity on anniversary of start of last autumn war

Apart from the "Minute of Silence" in memory of those who perished during the 2020 autumn aggravation of the Karabakh conflict, Armenian authorities have planned no other events on the anniversary of the outbreak of hostilities. According to the analysts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot", the absence of authorities' attention to this issue is due to the fact that they have no Nagorno-Karabakh point on their agenda.

Events dedicated to the first anniversary of the start of the 2020 war should be held because this is the most important event in the history of the Armenian nation. The war took place; and people sacrificed so many victims, Armen Badalyan, a political technologist, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

However, in his opinion, authorities have failed to schedule any events, because for the ruling power, Nagorno-Karabakh and the Karabakh issue are no longer important factors.

"This is the power that lost the war. As a result of their failed policy, the Armenian people sacrificed thousands of their sons. Naturally, they don't want to remind once again about their loss, and, in general, about the Artsakh (Karabakh) issue; they do everything to have Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) forgotten," Mr Badalyan has stated.
