Lilit Galstyan, a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Bureau and a member of Armenia’s parliament from the Armenia Alliance, wrote:

“Pashinyan Is Lying Again”

Pashinyan continues to set new records in lying, surpassing even himself. In broad daylight, he declares:

“Everything built in Artsakh was built at the expense of what was not built [in Armenia], unquestionably and without doubt.”

First, let us state the following:

Within the framework of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, from 1995 until the 2020 44-day war, around $200 million was invested in Artsakh.

The following were built:

• The Goris-Stepanakert interstate highway
• The North-South road within Artsakh
• The Vardenis-Martakert highway through Kelbajar (17 billion drams)
• More than 100 schools, essentially solving the issue of school construction
• Hundreds of kilometers of irrigation and water systems
• 15 new hospitals
• Dozens of community centers
• More than 50 kindergartens
• The Shushi Cultural Center
• Hundreds of private homes

And this is not even a complete list.

Alongside the Hayastan Fund, dozens of other foundations and individuals also contributed to the rebirth of Artsakh.

Incidentally, by virtue of his office, the Prime Minister is a member of the Hayastan Fund Board of Trustees, so he should certainly have been aware of this.

One very important fact as well:

After the 2020 war, the Armenian government and the Artsakh government jointly approved a 110 billion dram housing and infrastructure program in cooperation with the Hayastan Fund.

At a joint government session, Pashinyan himself declared:

“We will have a capital fund of 110 billion drams through which we will implement the housing and infrastructure program.”

“If Artsakh was not Armenian, or if you intended to hand it over, then why were you wasting millions of dollars there?”

“At this moment, the Hayastan Fund website is reportedly undergoing reconstruction. I can conclude that it is more likely undergoing an effort to erase traces.”

“This is what denial looks like. If one can deny an entire homeland—Artsakh—then denying what was built there is nothing at all.”
