Ishkhan Saghatelyan: If new road is commissioned, we will lose Berdzor

Panorama
Armenia –

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.

Emil Lazarian: “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
