Republican Party of Armenia: All worst predictions keep coming true

Armenia – Sept 1 2022

All the worst predictions keep coming true. Armen Ashotyan, vice chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia, told NEWS.am.

He recalled that prior to yesterday's meeting in Brussels, Aliyev said he was expecting Brussels to establish a working group to prepare a peace treaty.

"After the meeting, the Armenian authorities circulated a press release about nothing, except that they tried to mislead us by allegedly talking about the Karabakh problem. In fact, Baku's demands are being met: the foreign ministers have been instructed to discuss the draft within a month, i.e. a working group.

Another traitorous step is also implemented: the so-called agenda of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations is separated from the Karabakh problem. Armenia's traitorous government continues to pursue a line according to which Artsakh must be completely washed of its hands.

If the peace agreement doesn't reflect the approaches and points related to Artsakh, it turns out that Armenia "reconciles" with Azerbaijan and leaves Artsakh at the mercy of Azerbaijan, or, at the best, leaves it to Russia, or at the discretion of fate," Ashotyan added.

This, in his assessment, will not be a reconciliation, and Armenia will only end up in a "sagging state." 

"Now Armenia is not only not a guarantor of Artsakh's security but it does not even raise Artsakh's voice in the international arena. If in the statement on the results of the previous meeting "Nagorno-Karabakh" became "Karabakh" (this is also an Azerbaijani demand), now it is not mentioned at all, which again completely reflects Baku's viewpoint," he stressed.

As for the prisoners and other issues, Armenia is not dealing with this issue, having all legal grounds.

"Yesterday the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination published a report on Azerbaijan, which says that Armenian prisoners are tortured, their humanitarian rights are violated, that Azerbaijan shows xenophobia against Armenians.

Normal authorities would have taken this report and other previously published documents and appealed to international instances, instead of forgiving Aliyev and washing the blood of Armenians off his hands.

We have 303 missing persons, over 100 unidentified bodies, over 100 prisoners. No one deals with the fate of our children. Before the change of power in 2018, during the incidents in the military, all the Soros media actively turned inside out. And now these people are gone.

These issues are not being addressed because Nichol is politically impotent. He is incapable of solving them and doesn't want to do so. How will he do it on the international stage if inside he and his team call these people deserters or non-existent people. These are the same heroes who should have waited 1-2 months during the election campaign. Pashinyan could at least ask Charles Michel at every meeting to mediate and return 5-10 of our guys," concluded the Vice-Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia.
