“Karabağ klanı” ve Taşnak Partisi arasındaki ittifak 1990’lı yıllardan 2018’e dek Ermenistan’ı yönetmiştir. Taşnaklar, aşırı milliyetçi-ırkçı söylemleri ve örgütü, “Karabağ klanı” ise oligarşik yapısı sonucu elde edilen kaynaklarla bu birlikteliği desteklemektedir. Fakat bu yapı, 2018 yılındaki “Kadife Devrim” ile sarsılmış, yeni Başbakan Paşinyan ve hükûmeti doğrudan bu grupları hedef almıştır. Paşinyan, meşruiyetini artırmaya çalışırken popülist milliyetçiliğe yönelmiş fakat İkinci Karabağ Savaşı’nın barışçıl politikalara yönelmiştir. Bu sebeple “Karabağ klanı” ve Taşnak ittifakı, Azerbaycan ve Türkiye ile müzakerelere ve Paşinyan iktidarına karşı harekete geçmiştir. Bu çalışma, Paşinyan ile karşısındaki ittifakın dinamiklerini ve tarihî arka planını incelemektedir.

Far Right Tutelage in Armenia: The Dashnaks and The Karabakh Clan Alliance Against the Pashinyan Goverment

Öz

The alliance between the “Karabakh Clan” and the Dashnak Party ruled over Armenia from the 1990s to 2018. The Dashnaks supports this alliance with their ultranationalist-racist
discourse and organization, while the "Karabakh clan" contributes it with the resources they extracted with their oligarchic connections. However, this alliance was shaken by the
“Velvet Revolution” in 2018, and the new Prime Minister Pashinyan and his government directly targeted these groups. While trying to increase his legitimacy, Pashinyan adopted populist nationalism, and subsequently the peaceful policies, following the Second Karabakh War. For this reason, the alliance between "Karabakh clan" and the Dashnaks acts against the negotiations between Armenia with Azerbaijan and Turkey, and against the Pashinyan government. This work investigates the dynamics between the alliance and Pashinyan, and its historical background.
