Armenia – Feb 17 2022

To pretend that nothing is happening around us is a state crime. The second President of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, stated this during his press conference Thursday—and when asked about the "Shushi Declaration" that has been signed and ratified by Azerbaijan and Turkey.

"The ‘declaration’ speaks about major ongoing geopolitical processes not in our favor in the South Caucasus. (…). This ‘declaration’ highlights Turkey's growing role in the region, the formation of [its] allied, strategic relations with Azerbaijan," Kocharyan said.

"My impression is that these authorities of Armenia consider the [aforesaid] threat insurmountable; and they have always thought so. It’s just that by coming to power in one minute, they attempted to conceal those approaches to some extent. But in fact, if we look at the biography of their political team and the thoughts expressed earlier, it fully fits into this concept; that is a fact," the former president of Armenia added.
