If the seven regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh were supposed to be transferred to Azerbaijan, there shouldn’t have been investments in those regions. This is what leader of the opposition Bright Armenia Party and homonymous faction of the National Assembly of Armenia Edmon Marukyan told reporters today.

Marukyan noted that the former authorities would repeatedly declare that the only purpose of leading negotiations was to win time. “The former authorities would declare that they wouldn’t cede anything to the adversary. Now former President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan says there was a different path and criticizes this. If this was the case, the issue had to be solved quickly. Instead, the authorities led a policy on investments of Armenians of Armenia and abroad in the territories that were transferred to Azerbaijan,” Marukyan stated.

Emil Lazarian: “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
