MP: Armenian leaders’ failure to visit Artsakh gives out ‘several bad signals’

Security expert Tigran Abrahamyan, an MP from the opposition I Have the Honor bloc, condemned the Armenian leaders for their failure to visit Artsakh on the country’s Independence Day marked on September 2, saying it gives out “several bad signals”.

“The failure of the Armenian president, prime minister and parliament speaker to visit Artsakh speaks of several bad signals at once,” he wrote on Facebook on Friday, adding the issue does not concern only the symbolic days for Artsakh.

“Naturally, on 2 September many people noticed the absence of Armenian leaders at the symbolic events in Artsakh, but the same officials did not visit Artsakh at all after the war.

“Indifference to the Artsakh issue and the failure to put it high on the agenda speaks of a clear position of the current government.

“If the Armenian government follows the rules of the game dictated by Azerbaijan even in this case, then it is already clear what possible developments will follow,” the MP said.

Abrahamyan denounced the government for the “circle of defeats” which the country has found itself in, saying an agenda against the interests of Armenia and Artsakh is imposed on it.

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
