“I am surprised that you are surprised,” Eduard Sharmazanov, a member of the RPA Executive Body, told reporters in response to the question regarding Nikol Pashinyan’s initiative to rename the subject “Armenian History” to “History of Armenia”.
Eduard Sharmazanov stressed that what Nikol Pashinyan is doing is legal from the point of view of his policy.
“He is conducting a direct policy of Turkification and Azeriization of Armenia,” said Eduard Sharmazanov, adding that starting from 2018, the campaign against national and state spiritual values was for this purpose.
Eduard Sharmazanov, a historian by profession, appealed to historians.
“Ladies and gentlemen, are you so naive? Are you so naive that you explain with a serious face that “the history of Armenia is the history of all Armenians, the history of all Armenia, the history of all Armenian people?” According to you, Nikol Pashinyan does not know what he is doing? What do you convince yourself?
The transformation of our Armenian history as the “History of Armenia” has one goal, that we break away from our past, become animals. That there would be no Artsakh, no Western Armenia, no kingdom of Van, no battle of Tigranakert, no Tigran the Great, no battle of Vardan Mamikonyan’s Avarayr. All of them were in the territory of Western Armenia, they were not in the territory of today’s Armenia. And let it be only 29,800 square km.
The next step will be “History of Nikolism” – a compulsory subject, “History of Sorosism” – a compulsory subject, “History of Azerbaijan and Turkey” – a compulsory subject. That will happen.”
The society has work to do, the opposition has pointed out these dangers since 2018 and warned about what is to come, emphasized Eduard Sharmazanov.
He also mentioned that everything that Nikol Pashinyan continues to do today, particularly in the form of renaming Armenian history, is directed against our heritage, our statehood, our 5 thousand-year history and the future renaissance of the Armenian people.
