MP Edmon Marukyan from the opposition Bright Armenia faction referred to the claims of the Armenian authorities that the statement signed during the trilateral meeting in Moscow on Monday is also beneficial for Armenia.

 

"The authorities continue to insist that the new document signed in Moscow yesterday is in Armenia's interests, as it will allow us to have a direct railway link with Russia through Azerbaijan, spreading false claims that it will be safe from now on,” he wrote on Facebook.

 

“I would like to underline that it will be going through the territory of Azerbaijan, a country that has not returned our prisoners of war and civilian captives so far, a country whose servicemen tortured and beheaded our soldiers and citizens with the Islamic State methods, not sparing even the elderly and the sick, as a result of the anti-Armenian policy of its authorities, as well as with their approval, a country that did not shy away from using terrorists against us, a country that shelled a maternity hospital, a church and, finally, a country whose soldier was glorified and rewarded at the highest level for axing to death our officer while he was asleep.

 

“Keep insisting that you have made significant achievements,” the opposition MP said.
