Western-financed Armenian "human rights activists" (and their anti-Armenian policy)

[Tigranakert]

This topic is made to share information on "human rights activists" and NGO organisations specifically financed by the West, whose activists are composed of self-hating Armenians who are paid to influence Armenians and to introduce negativeness and pessimism in Armenian society.

And last but not least, to attack sacred Armenian institutions as the Armenian army and the Armenian church, to break our spirit and unity.

Let's begin with this idiot (he doesn't even look Armenian):



Armenian “civil defenders” as weapon of Azeri propaganda

PanARMENIAN.Net - Over the last week, 2 more Armenian soldiers were killed at contact line over Azeri ceasefire violation. Tragic incidents prove the war is not over, with the enemy waiting for a chance to strike. As it turns out, some of our compatriots are waging their own “war”, ready to sacrifice their motherland in pursuit of their own ambitions.

Yesterday, Nov 21, as reported by Armenian TV, a certain Armenian human rights advocate accused official Yerevan of “violating the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE)” at Brussels-hosted NATO session.

As PanARMENIAN.Net discovered, the person in question was identified as Helsinki Citizens' Assembly - Vanadzor Office NGO president Artur Sakunts. Even the fact that Azeri propaganda already excelled in vilifying Armenia, conveniently forgetting of Baku-initiated “arms race” and provocations at contact line was unable to stop Mr. Sakunts’ unfounded accusations.

So far, no international mission was able to accuse Armenia of CFE violation for one clear reason: the country does not violate the Treaty.

Sakunts, however, wasn’t in the least perturbed by an indignant response of other members of Armenian delegation, who were clearly unaware of “good intentions” of the human rights advocate.

One might ask himself, how is such a “defender of human rights”, the rights of Armenians, better that the threesome recently charged with state treason over spying for Azerbaijan?

Organisation: Helsinki Citizens' Assembly
Person in question: Artur Sakunts

Searching for Artur Sakunts name, I noticed he is very active in attacking important institutions in Armenia, here is one in which he attacks the Ministery of Defense and our army.

In a conversation with “Aravot”, human rights activist, Artur Sakunts, a member of the Army in Reality and Chairman of Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly-Vanadzor, responded to Seyran Ohanyan’s statement: “Unfortunately, we have to record that the official department, in the person of the minister, publicly supports Vova Gasparyan’s assessments, which are directed against the public structures demanding to uncover the shady occurrences and murders in the armed forces, and to reveal and punish the officials involved in corruption. This means that the MoD themselves work against the army, by hiding the crimes committed in the armed forces. This is unfortunate.

On the other hand, the minister should give an answer on how effectively the grant projects provided within the framework of NATO-Armenia “Partnership for Peace” are utilized and whether there is ‘grant consuming’ there. It is one thing when a nonprofit organization receives a grant, and it is a different thing when state agencies, who have serious functions related to the protection of the country and the national security. We want to see where is the effectiveness of using those grants for making reforms in the army, when the murders still continue in the army and the corruption in the AF is not revealed.”

Stupid ignorant xxxx. There are murders and suicides happening at a huge scale in the American army, which has a budget of thousands of billions and had dozens of years of time to establish itself. Does thismean they are corrupt?

The Armenian army is a reflection of the Armenian society, does he think that putting together 18-20 year old Armenian boys, giving them weapons and learning them to kill, such accidents will not happen? Of course he understands this, but his mission is something different: he wants to blame the whole Armenian army, he wants to give the whole institution a bad name, and by this he undermines the security of Armenia itself.

The dirty little pig has to thank the Armenian army for it's professionalism, reforms and effectiveness, which is one of the reasons Azerbaijan does not dare to attack today.

Of course such accidents are bound to happen unfortunately, but there should be full transparency when it comes to such incidents for the sake of the grieving parents and family. And if there is a person responsible for the death they have to be brought to justice. We can always improve the army without attacking it or our country.

On another note, interestingly enough, I have heard from some people who have served that Yerevancis don't like serving in Karabakh is that the Karabakhtsi soldiers there don't like the Yerevanci conscripts and there is often tension. I also have a Karabakhtsi friend that told me a lot about serving on the front line and the incidents that happened on the border.

Although conscript armies are always problematic and most of the casualties, at the border or resulting from bullying are young inexperienced troops. The present culture of bullying and corruption is clearly very bad for morale and it needs to be stamped out.

Whilst it's really not my place to say. If I where Armenia's Defense minister. I'd fire the head of military police, haul in the military brass and give them some kind of a ultimatum. As the Armenian state has a mandate to uphold the rule of law and the military are not a body to be handled with kid gloves.

Maybe the Karabakhtsi soldiers just think that it won't be Azeri bullets that will loose them NK, it will be the pen of a Yerevan politician elected by those Yerevan conscripts.

The country needs an Enlightenment thinker before a twenty-first century human rights activist.

Whilst the British Council clearly has an agenda and you have to wonder just how many "human rights activists". They churn out of this little quisling factory.

I suppose a year abroad and a free masters degree isn't entirely to be sniffed at.
