The “5165” opposition movement on Tuesday expressed support for the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) parliament, which criticized Nikol Pashinyan’s recent remarks on the Artsakh issue.

"The recent statements made by Nikol Pashinyan demonstrate the implementation of a policy that deprives the Artsakh movement of its meaning, calls into question the right of the Artsakh people to self-determination, and lays the foundation for the de-Armenization of the region," the movement said in a statement.

The movement believes that the Armenian premier’s statements “belittle” previous military victories won at the cost of the lives of thousands of fighters, disperses diplomatic achievements recorded in the negotiation process, and prepares the Armenian people for the loss of Artsakh.

"It sends a message to the Armenian people that it is pointless to fight for the homeland from now on," it stressed.

The “5165” opposition movement notes that Pashinyan and his team do not represent the interests of the Armenian people and that their rule leads to the collapse of the Armenian statehood.
