After the signing of the trilateral statement of 9 November, we have remained at our posts, and the adversary has remained at its posts. After the signing of the agreement, the adversary hasn’t shown aggression, and it seemed as though it was waiting for something. This is what Mayor of Kapan Gevorg Parsyan declared while presenting the current situation in the region during today’s working discussion hosted by the Prosperous Armenia faction of the National Assembly of Armenia.

Moreover, according to him, with regard to the transfer of Zangelan and Kubatlu, there is nothing mentioned in the agreement about the transfer of the occupied territories to the enemy.

“We are actively working with the Ministry of Defense of Armenia. I am certain that the army generals with whom we have interacted had no idea that Armenia had to transfer its positions to the enemy,” Parsyan emphasized.

According to the mayor of Kapan, during the meeting with the defense minister, he stated that there hadn’t been negotiations with Kapan, but an order had been given to transfer the positions occupied by the residents of Syunik Province.

“I told the minister that Syunik Province is against the transfer of those positions since it will create problems with ensuring security, but the minister said the agreement had been reached in advance,” Parsyan said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
