Every time Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan attempts to rationalize or justify his decision to sign the November 9 agreement he digs himself and the entire Armenian Nation deeper into a hole, emerging from which becomes more and more difficult, if not impossible.
His insincere mea culpas are often followed by baffling statements that seem to indicate his inability to grasp the gravity of the losses and consequences that the country, and the nation, must grapple with since the signing of the November 9 agreement.
On several occasions, when responding to lawmakers’ questions in parliament about the surrender of Shushi, Pashinyan has demonstrated that he does not comprehend the vital and strategic importance of Shushi, not only historically, but in the present day.
We defend our habitat work on the Montague Plains

Regarding a June 27, 2016, letter from Peter and Cecilia Tusinski of Leyden “Plains Devastation” the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife (MassWildlife) respectfully submits this response. The Tusinkis say that MassWildlife’s objective at the Montague Plains Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is to “restore a high canopy forest.” On the contrary, MassWildlife s objective for this site is to restore a globally-rare pitch pine and scrub oak community. We are doing that through a combination of forest canopy reduction, shrub mowing, and controlled burns, in order to reinvigorate fire-adapted species and communities on the site. This is simultaneously reducing fuel loads to help protect the Village of Lake Pleasant from wildfire.
