Former Ambassador of Armenia to the Vatican Mikayel Minasyan wrote the following on his Telegram channel:

“All us Armenians see that the war is not over. We understood that defeat is not suffered once. The lack of self-love of Nikol and his team and their flirting with the enemy aren’t letting the Armenian people come to their senses, self-organize and try to start from scratch.

Every day Nikol and his team continue to humiliate all us Armenians. Azerbaijan and Turkey make threats, but Nikol’s team talks about regional cooperation. Azerbaijan and Turkey hold new military exercises, but Nikol talks about the opening of borders. This has been going on for the past four months. Pasinyan and his capitulation team continue to be humiliated, deliver new territories, destroy the positions in the negotiations and any prospect for fixing the situation. They hope to be able to gain at least something by playing with Aliyev in order to help maintain power.

One of the steps of this game is the upcoming meeting of Director of the National Security Service of Armenia Armen Abazyan, Arayik Harutyunyan, Rustam Muradov and Chairman of the State Security Service of Azerbaijan Ali Nagiyev. The secret meeting that Armen Abazyan agreed on during his recent visit to Moscow will take place over the next few days on the line of contact, not far from Mataghis. Abazyan, Harutyunyan and Nagiyev are planning to discuss “infrastructure-related issues” and, in essence, the actions to integrate the remains of Artsakh into Azerbaijan.

We Armenians need to understand that this is not just another meeting, but the implementation of the plan for elimination of Armenian statehood for which Nikol is still in power. Armenia’s willingness to be humiliated only boosts the desire of Turkey and Azerbaijan to gain territories, concessions and guarantees from Nikol. One person can’t and must not cruelly humiliate his own homeland and people and remain unpunished. This means that the hour of historic, legal and moral liability is close, very close.”
