As Azerbaijan and Armenia edge closer to finalizing a long-anticipated peace agreement, a wave of provocations from Armenian revanchist and nationalist circles threatens to destabilize what could be a historic turning point. These factions, many of whom operate both within Armenia and across its diaspora networks, are not only engaging in smear campaigns against Azerbaijani officials but also working to reintroduce irredentist narratives into the political discourse.

Their aim is clear: to repackage outdated territorial ambitions under the guise of minority rights or historic grievances, hoping to regain relevance in a rapidly changing regional reality. The recent smear campaign launched by a fringe Armenian group in Argentina is emblematic of this effort. Using obscure media platforms, they have attempted to fabricate claims that Armenia remains in an active state of war with Azerbaijan—a narrative directly contradicted by the Armenian government’s own steps toward peace.

Such disinformation campaigns reflect a deeper truth: while the Armenian state appears to be gradually reconciling with its geopolitical limitations, elements within its society remain unwilling to accept the current realities. These voices seek not peace, but a return to a past shaped by occupation and confrontation—an option that is neither viable nor acceptable in the current regional and international context.
