Will Arayik Harutyunyan and his associates stay in Artsakh?

A snap shot of Arayik Harutyunyan testifying in Baku prison, Sarkis Mahserejian

 I was reading today about the plight of the Armenian prisoners in Baku and the looming harsh sentences they may get at the conclusion of this sham trial.

I was reminded of the article Sarkis Mahserejian wrote on August 31, 2023, in which he asked, “Will Arayik Harutyunyan and his associates stay in Artsakh, or will they find a way to leave?”.

 My estranged friend posed that question in the brutal partisan article he wrote on August 31, 2023, in which he likened the last-minute change in the Artsakh governance under duress, to a snow ball, hoping that it will roll down to Armenia and take over Nikol Pashinyan led Armenian government. He titled his article, “The snowball that should not melt”

His article was heralded by the diaspora ARF press. “Haierenik” presented it as its primary article.  The publishers of the Aleppo community ARF leaning newsletter “Kanstasar”, found that article to be of interest to its poverty-stricken community and had Sarkis Mahserejian’s article reproduced in  their  newsletter accompanied by the picture depicted below with a smiling Sarkis Mahserejian passport like photo next to a snow ball. 

Much like many other diaspora armchair warriors who spew blinded partisanship in the long established ARF press against the government of Armenia, Sarkis Mahserejian continues his campaign against the government of  Nikol Pashinyan. Surely, Sarkis and the editorial staff members who posted that article, know that Arayik Harutyunyan and his associates did not find a way to leave  Artsakh. Aliev found a way out of Artsakh for them into the Baku prison. 

Arayik Haroutyunyan is languishing in prison in Baku and faces life imprisonment,  Sarkis Mahserejian, the armchair warrior, is at home, in LA and continues to live in his house, he rarely leaves. 

I attached my response to his August 31, 2023.  I wrote it on September 25, 2023, during one of the darkest hours in recent Armenian history, and titled it "The snowball that turned into a fireball".

I copied the picture of the snow ball next to Sarkis Mahserejian's smiling passport like picture from the Aleppo "Kantsasar" newsletter and posted in the caption the original article in Armenian.
