Snowballing for the follies

 Vaհe H Apelian

Today early in his press conference, in response to a reporter’s inquiry, the PM Nikol Pashinyan restated his stand as to what transpired in Artsakh a few weeks before the September exodus of Artsakh Armenians.

Yes, indeed, at that time, the present opposition to the Nikol Pashinyan led government in Yerevan, heralded the resignation of Artsakh President Arayik Harutyunian, which came at the end August.

 The Diaspora ARF press joined the chorus and likened the change to a rolling snowball that should not melt but that it would roll down and take over Yerevan.  The actual title of that article was “Նոր ձիւնագնդակը պէտք չէ հալէ  - The new snowball should not melt”. That article is dated August 31, 2023 and is embedded in the link below,

 Even Kantsasar, the Aleppo prelacy journal affiliated with ARF, joined the chorus and reproduced the same article, as if that was a burning issue to poverty-stricken Aleppo Armenian community and the community needed, much like a hole in its head, to be led against the Nikol Pashinyan government.

 But the snowball turned into a fireball that incinerated Artsakh.

Read the link below. It is the blog I wrote in response to such a folly, on September 25, 2023 and titled it “The snowball that turned into a fireball.”
