Dashnaks Influencing the European Parliament and Threatening EU Leadership

The Armenian lobby in the European Parliament is struggling to justify the fees it receives from Armenians. On Tuesday, another meaningless piece of paper was produced in the EP. Ahead of COP29, many such documents were rubber-stamped, and none had any impact. Armenians have an incredible tendency toward masochism—repeatedly putting themselves in a foolish position. This time, the statement was signed by 52 members of the Armenian lobby. The content remains the same—“prisoners of war,” “occupied territories,” “Armenian heritage,” and the usual rhetoric. 

The content of these proclamations is always the same. These documents are churned out like carbon copies, drafted by local Armenian communities. After each such statement, Armenians fall into euphoria and start dancing. Some time passes, and seeing no results, another piece of paper is submitted to the EP, signed by parliamentarians, neo-Nazis, and Islamophobes on the diaspora's payroll. Fifty-two signatures out of 720 is hardly a victory, yet the paper demands that the EU leadership “take into account the resolutions adopted by the European Parliament and act in accordance with their spirit.” It’s worth recalling that the EP regularly adopts offensive resolutions against Azerbaijan, but EU leadership still refuses to act “in accordance with their spirit.” But no matter—there’s something to feel good about.

The masterminds behind this mess are growing nervous about the lack of results. In October alone, the European Parliament mentioned Baku in an unflattering light several times and passed resolutions that made no impact. The Armenians’ frustration has reached the point where they no longer pretend that European parliamentarians are acting purely out of their own hearts and consciences, while the Armenians quietly stand on the sidelines.

This time, the head of the European Office of Ai Dat ARF Dashnaktsutyun, Gaspar Karapetyan, stated that the Dashnaks are constantly working with EP members and “will continue to encourage the EU executive authorities to report and take effective steps.” The demand for a report from the EU leadership sounds more like a threat than a request.

This EP statement is the result of the Dashnaks' "work." The Armenian terrorist organization not only operates freely in Europe but also dictates terms to the European Parliament. Quite something, isn't it? But why be surprised? Just ahead of the SORA in Baku, in Geneva, the World Council of Churches—at the request of the Armenian community—is planning to hold a prayer service for war criminals and terrorists in Azerbaijani prisons. A very touching gesture, especially considering the short memory of the WCC. Today, no one seems to remember that the newly-formed ASALA carried out its first terrorist attack in 1975 at the World Council of Churches’ office.

So, everything is business as usual. The Dashnaktsutyun terrorist organization has orchestrated another anti-Azerbaijani statement, worked its way through the parliamentarians, no doubt discussing with each one the amount of remuneration and other perks from the Armenian community. Now, the Dashnaks are boasting about their “success” and warning the EU leadership that they will “continue to encourage” them to comply with Armenian demands. So far, the EU leadership has shown little understanding of the Armenians’ hysteria, but the Armenians are determined to "persevere." They have an extensive toolkit for “motivation.” The office of the World Council of Churches was bombed, allegedly because it prevented the transfer of Turkish territories to the Armenians. The setbacks have made the Armenians furious, and they have resorted to terrorism.

If the EU leadership continues to ignore the demands in the resolutions and statements from the European Parliament, which sides with Armenia, the Diaspora may become increasingly enraged and begin to “encourage” them in purely Armenian ways. After all, so much money has been spent, but COP29 will still be held in Baku, and it is becoming clear that no one will be discussing any Araiks or Rubiks there.
