​Soldiers drafted from Armenia to Artsakh discharged early at Azerbaijan’s demand, MP says

Armenia – Aug 3 2022

MP Tigran Abrahamyan of the opposition Pativ Unem faction has addressed reports concerning the early discharge of soldiers drafted from Armenia to Artsakh.

After the 2020 war, no conscripts were drafted from Armenia to Artsakh and the last conscripted soldiers were expected to be discharged later in August.

“Although in August 2022 the last groups of soldiers drafted from Armenia two years ago were to be discharged in Artsakh, it seems that the demobilization was carried out ahead of schedule at the behest of Azerbaijan,” Abrahamyan wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.

“In other words, both in this case and in the issue concerning the shutdown of the Lachin corridor, Azerbaijan, besides implementing its political priorities, is doing everything possible to completely humiliate the Armenian authorities.

“The Artsakh authorities and the Defense Army are yet to explain why the demobilization is being carried out promptly and under which document,” the deputy said.

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
