We have received a clarity on Armenia's position on the status of Nagorno-Karabakh. The second president of Armenia, leader of the opposition "Armenia" Bloc Robert Kocharyan stated this during his year-end press conference Monday.
"It is already clear that if the [Armenian] prime minister [Nikol Pashinyan] says that since 2016 there was not even a theoretical possibility for Karabakh to have a status outside Azerbaijan, this is Armenia's position. This means that Armenia has washed its hands of Karabakh. With these recent statements, the prime minister, in fact, questioned the September 2 [1991] declaration of Artsakh, which has been put on the basis for the existence, formation of Karabakh. Either they do not understand what they are doing or they are doing it in a planned way, a puppet program is being implemented in Armenia.
In fact, we have a complete failure in all important domains. The most interesting thing is that when you go down from the first person, it is not clear who to ask. No one works long enough to ask something. It seems it is a deck of cards, they shuffle, divide, shuffle again," Kocharyan stated.
