With the statement “Artsakh is Armenia and that’s it” Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan likely wanted to say that he is the general leader, Artsakh hero, former secretary of Artsakh Security Council Vitaly Balasanyan said at a news conference on Tuesday.

“Nikol Pashinyan is very wrong, it is not a norm in politics, it is very dangerous, he did it on purpose,” Balasanyan said.

He stressed that Artsakh must return to the table of negotiations.

“But the vector selected by Pashinyan is the other. I am sure he has reached arrangement with Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev to make such a statement for Artsakh not to return to the table of negotiations,” he said.

Balasanyan urged the Armenian political elite to make corresponding decision, sit with the Artsakh leadership and discuss the points from which the negotiations should resume.
