Opposition leader and deputy parliament speaker Ishkhan Saghatelyan on Friday accused the Armenian authorities of plotting to cede to Azerbaijan the Berdzor (Lachin) road linking Artsakh and Armenia.
Speaking at a briefing in France Square in central Yerevan on Friday, he said that Nikol Pashinyan and Ilham Aliyev “have seemingly reached an agreement”, as a result of which Armenia will lose control over the Berdzor road.
"A bypass road is being built to Stepanakert, which is expected to be commissioned in two or three months. If it happens, we will completely lose control over the Berdzor district, Aghavno and a number of other Armenian villages," Saghatelyan noted.
“Most importantly, our all communications, including the electricity and gas networks, will be taken over by Azerbaijan. As a result, we will become totally dependent on Azerbaijan and there will be no Armenians left in Artsakh,” he said.
Saghatelyan promised to address the issue in detail at the next opposition rally.
