PM Nikol Pashinyan has decided to appoint—for her special merits—parliament majority leader Lilit Makunts as Armenia’s ambassador to the US. Mikayel Minasyan, Armenia’s former Ambassador to the Vatican—and son-in-law of ex-President Serzh Sargsyan, wrote about this on his Telegram channel

"Even if we consider that Makunts is not a bad person, there is no doubt that Makunts is an incompetent politician; moreover, an incompetent diplomat. And in general, she is not a diplomat. Evidence of her ignorance at various levels—including the interparliamentary, foreign policy failures. First, Pashinyan appointed Makunts as Minister of Culture, then the head of his [parliamentary] faction. Makunts, who is known as Pashinyan's English pedagogue, has one advantage: Nikol believes in her unconditionally. That is why, by sending her to the US, Pashinyan has decided to kill two birds with one stone: to save Makunts from the sinking ship [of the incumbent authorities], and to use her in a dirty game between the two superpowers [US and Russia].

Nikol's [political] team stayed [in power] until [US President Joe] Biden was appointed. They will send Lilit Makunts after the [US] State Department cookies, which the velvet revolutionaries [in Armenia] dreamed of so much. It seems to them that amateur Makunts will save Armenia. Her future appointment [as Armenian ambassador to the US] is a blow to Armenian-American, Armenian-Russian relations, the image of Armenia.

Two days ago, the Soros circles started anti-Russian rhetoric. The decision to appoint Makunts will be the institutionalization of that geopolitical chaos in which Nikol has immersed Armenia.

P. S. By the way, let me remind [you]: Nikol Pashinyan has sworn to review the practice of appointing people who are not considered personnel diplomats to the post of ambassadors," Minasyan added.
