ArmInfo. We are very concerned about the optimistic statements of Azerbaijan that in 2019 the parties approached the agreement on the Karabakh issue. On January 29 at a meeting with journalists, the newly elected head of the ARF  "Dashnaktsutyun" Bureau Armen Rustamyan stated.

"We all know about what solution the Karabakh issue can satisfy  Azerbaijan, that it will agree to an agreement. In the course of our  contacts and relations with representatives of the previous  authorities, we drew the" red line "with these authorities. In this  context, the latest statement of the current the authorities said  that there could be no concessions on the part of Armenia and Artsakh  until Azerbaijan recognized the independence of Karabakh, "Rustamyan  said.

According to him, if today Azerbaijan does not intend to do this,  then there are two options, we are inferior in the question that the  people of Karabakh fixed in accordance with Article 175 of the  Constitution (referendum – Ed.), Or it will be necessary to impose  martial law, the other There is no option. "Either Azerbaijan will be  convinced that if it unleashes a war, it will lose not 20% of the  territories, but much more, and therefore will not attack, which has  always been the main deterrent force, or we give up in exchange for  peace. If you want to we must show Azerbaijan that if it starts a new  war, it will end not in his favor. All Armenians from Armenia,  Artsakh and the Diaspora will defend Artsakh, "Rustamyan concluded.
