Nikol is negotiating to hold extraordinary parliamentary elections in May. Minasian

Former Armenian ambassador to the Vatican, Mikael Minasian, shared the following post on his Facebook page under the title "Eastern Bazaar": "The Eastern Bazaar is the only understandable form of relations between Turk Nikol, Turk Ilham, and their Turk accomplices. And that 'bazaar' is approaching its end. Nikol is negotiating on two fronts—internal and external.

In Armenia, Nikol is negotiating to hold extraordinary parliamentary elections in May. I will soon disclose the details and explain who is trying to gain from this trade. More often than not, I find myself disagreeing with Arthur Danielyan, but today I read a post of his that I fully agree with. Continuing that thought, I have one observation: those who engage in political trade with Nikol will be squeezing the hand of a bloody murderer and will be stained with blood. From that moment on, specifically for me (and certainly for many others), they will become political vermin.

Later, do not justify that you did it for the sake of Armenia. You were in the political bazaars while the bodies of the sons of Armenia were still warm. This is impossible to forget, and we will not allow you to forget it. All those who hope to 'bring' 25 percent from the May elections and return to power, asking Nikol to lower the electoral threshold from 5 percent to 3 so as to be present in the parliament—remember, you will not be forgotten, it will not be forgiven.

Outside of Armenia, Nikol's 'bazaar' has four directions. First direction—Russia. Nikol's message to the north is very simple: 'Dear Russia, do not hit me on the head, what do you need me to do.' Second direction—the United States. Again very simple: 'Dear Biden, please come, we are dying waiting for you, the Russian has violated us. Come see what you can do.' Third direction—Azerbaijan: 'I will not initiate anything at international levels, whatever needs to be signed, I will sign, I just ask you not to take any more villages or captives, and if you can manage, don’t insult me too publicly.' Fourth direction—Turkey: 'I will systematically remain silent about the Genocide, I will dissolve the museum-institute, I will take this issue off the agenda, I just ask you to open the border so I can read some more slogans here about new opportunities.'

This is it. Nikol does not even consider the people in the negotiations, let alone conducting trade with them. When you take away the dignity from people and disconnect their memory, you can simply ignore those people. Nikol has started a dangerous new game, involving everyone and disregarding every reality—be it post-war, regional, or internal political. With an instinct for animal survival, he has begun an extremely dangerous bluff, which I will publicly discuss soon."
