"Armenia and Artsakh are in a situation where the interests of global powers are continuously clashing in the region," the head of opposition "Armenia" faction Seyran Ohanyan said at a discussion on Friday about challenges Armenia and Artsakh face. 

Ohanyan remarked that as a result of Turkish-Azerbaijani provocation, some new players appeared in the region of South Caucasus, putting the Armenian states in a difficult situation. Ohanyan stressed the true assessment of the past year and the current situation has not been given.

"The failure to analyze and assess the current situation generates uncertainty for Armenia and Artsakh's future, and we are here to identify these challenges and adopt decisions based on them," said Ohanyan. 

In the words of the speaker, the causes and consequences of the war are clear for the opposition. He admitted with regret that losses and the series of failures continue for the two Armenian states this time on the borders of Armenia.  

"Apparently, some hidden processes are underway, and our joint work should be aimed at preventing them," said Ohanyan, adding one idea that can be at the centre of all actions of the opposition is the formation of the national resistance. In his words, the opposition will act under the slogan "No to Turkification of Armenia and no to stripping Artsakh of Armenians."
