Republican: The forces that made Armen Grigoryan a "revolutionary" but in reality a traitor to the homeland are now using him in a different role

ArmInfo. Former Armenian parliament member and member of the Republican Party Tigran Abrahamyan responded to former Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan's revelations that Yerevan's European aspirations will lead to even greater dependence on Russia.

Nikol Pashinyan's "revolutionary" ally, a man who actively worked on the regime's front lines for eight years and held high positions, asserts that the path to the EU is an illusion and will lead Armenia down a dangerous path. "Moreover, Armen Grigoryan is documenting the regression of democracy in Armenia and spreading a wave of pessimism about the events unfolding around the Republic of Armenia," the Republican noted.

"This man renounced his homeland (Grigoryan is from Artsakh) when Nikol handed over his homeland. This man betrayed his compatriots when, during the Artsakh blockade, hungry and water-deprived people resisted Azerbaijan. This man, a native of Artsakh, resigned himself to the genocide and deportation of the people of Artsakh, and now he's been fired from his job, and he's begun documenting the failures of the 'revolutionary' government. But what's really going on? The forces that made him a 'revolutionary,' but in reality a traitor to his homeland, are now using him in a different role. If tomorrow he's told to make a statement in support of North Korea, he will do it; "This is its essence and nature," Abrahamyan concluded.

It is worth noting that on November 11, the former Secretary of the Armenian Security Council (2018-2026) wrote a lengthy article on EU membership and relations with Russia. In the article, Grigoryan discussed Armenia's path to EU membership and the risks of increasing dependence on Russia.

He stated that the idea of joining the European Union at first glance seems attractive and a natural continuation of Armenia's civilizational choice, but in this matter, Armenians often confuse the desired with the possible. According to him, when assessing Armenia's prospects for EU membership, it is necessary to consider a number of political, geographic, and economic circumstances that make this goal unrealistic. Grigoryan expressed his conviction that each new step on this path does not reduce, but, on the contrary, further increases Armenia's dependence on Russia.
