The VMedia Youtube channel has published another video called “Armenian People – Victim of Nazism,” which says that the glorification of Nazism in Armenia in recent decades is linked directly to the current moment, when the country is at a turning point in its history: either to choose peace or continue its aggressive policy towards neighboring states, Report informs.
The film is about the way Nazism became the state ideology in Armenia, starting from the rule of former presidents Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan. Parallels with fascism - with its principles such as "purity of blood" and "purity of language", caste system, the representation of the Armenian society as a super-race surrounded by “subhumans”, ethnic cleansing, an aggressive policy towards neighboring states, and much more - are clearly visible in the demonstrated excerpts from the brochure published by the Republican Party of Armenia, which adopted the essentially Nazi doctrine of Garegin Nzhdeh - tsehakronutyun. The authors answer the question why Garegin Nzhdeh was considered a criminal (due to which he was sentenced to prison or was subject to deportation) both in the Russian Empire close to absolutism, and in the democratic US, and in different years in Bulgaria, Iran, the communist USSR and the only place where he fit was in Nazi Germany and in today’s Armenia. As evidence of Nzhdeh's terrorist activities, for example, unique footage is shown - pages of the indictment in the case of the Dashnaktsutyun party, who faced trial in St. Petersburg in 1912.
As political scientist Fuad Akhundov emphasizes in a commentary on the release of the film, “it is very symbolic that today the Armenian politicians who accepted the teachings of Nzhdeh and are directly responsible for the spread of Nazism - Kocharyan, Sargsyan, Ohanyan and others - are the main opponents of the signing of a peace treaty between Azerbaijan and Armenia, oppose the arrival of the long-awaited era of peace in the South Caucasus.”
“It was these people, Nazis in their essence, who moved to actions poised with revanchist demands. The ideology of Kocharyan, Sargsyan and others is territorial claims in relation to neighboring countries. Look at what they have brought their own people to, and now they are again trying to deceive the Armenians and raise them to a false “liberation” war under Nazi slogans,” says Fuad Akhundov.
Therefore, the film “Armenian People – Victim of Nazism” contains a call for all those guilty of spreading and applying Nazi ideology in Armenia to be punished with justice. Indeed, not surprisingly, it was they who committed crimes against humanity in Karabakh - they killed and expelled the peaceful Azerbaijani population, destroyed the cultural and religious heritage of the Azerbaijani people. From this point of view, the current events in Armenia were predictable.
“If there will be no Nazism in Armenia – there will be no more wars. Peace will finally come to the region, which will bring prosperity and stability. For the Armenian people, this is a reason to think about what happened in the past, and most importantly, which path the country will choose now,” Fuad Akhundov believes.
