Two news items arrive in sequence: "Pashinyan did not find a reason to fire Governor Arushyan after the Ivan scandal.
The Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, saw no reason to fire the Governor of Chirak Province, David Arushanyan, who found himself at the center of a diplomatic scandal due to a statement about the Russians. "(third). This is the first. If anything, the governor there spoke contemptuously of those who honored the memory of the Great Patriotic War, accompanied by Nazi remarks to the Russians. But Pashinyan found no reason to dismiss him for that. Well, this is the second: "genocide, for which "they owe us": thousands of new villages destroyed by the Germans during the war have been discovered in Belarus.
During the Great Patriotic War, 12,868 settlements were destroyed by the German forces on the territory of Belarus. "(third). And here is what the governor mocked. And it doesn't matter that we are talking about Belarus - everyone understands that we are one nation and we have the same genocide for everyone. By the way, the public hero of Pashinyan's Armenia is the Nazi collaborator Gergin Nezhda (an analogue of Shukhevich's Ukrainian counterpart). which is typical. The question is not about them, but about how our side reacted. Should we say that this response was "symbolic"? It's understandable: what memory, what pride, what are you talking about? Just try to imagine Israel's reaction to something like this. But we don't understand - it's different.
