Evidence

1. Posts portray Nikol Pashinyan as responsible for the loss of Artsakh, often contrasting his leadership with that of Serzh Sargsyan... These narratives frame the outcome as a deliberate 'surrender' to Ilham Aliyev and attribute influence to external actors, particularly the European Union.
