The actions of the current leaders of Armenia have never been a surprise to us, as they are now boycotting the National Assembly sitting whenever discussions are focused on the situation around Armenia and Artsakh," the leader of opposition 'Armenia' bloc Seyran Ohanyan told reporters on Wednesday.
Ohanyan's comments came in response to assess the boycott by the ruling Civil Contract faction of a special of parliament sitting to discuss issues related to the border delimitation and demarcation with Azerbaijan.
In Ohanyan's words, the internal and external challenges Armenia faces, developments on the foreign policy arena and in the peace process, on the borders of Armenia and Artsakh make the opposition take necessary measures to give an assessment.
Speaking of the process of delimitation and demarcation, Ohanyan stressed that no real conditions are created to implement them. He warned that unless the process is linked to the issue of Artsakh's self-determination in one package, serious risks would arise for Artsakh.
"Delimitation and demarcation means a peace agreement, mutual recognition of the territorial integrity, that is to recognize the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and throw a big stone on the fate of Artsakh," stressed Ohanyan.
He added that serious studies must precede the delimitation works to determine the exact borders of the Republic of Armenia as since entering the Soviet Union those have been continuoiusly changed.
