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.

“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
