Armenia’s former Prime Minister Hrant Bagratyan has warned of dire consequences if Armenia’s leadership agrees to sign a peace deal with Azerbaijan without delimitation and demarcation of the border between the two countries.
“The signing of a peace treaty without border delimitation would amount to a new national tragedy. It would untie Azerbaijan’s hands to launch fresh aggression against Armenia,” he wrote on Facebook on Thursday, referring to the latest statements of Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on the peace agreement.
“Moreover, Armenia will have to forget forever about the lands in Vardenis, Jermuk and Sisian, as well as the Goris-Kapan-Chakaten roadway it lost in 2020-2022.
“Azerbaijan will take control over the enclaves it has laid claims to and will close the currently operational Yerevan-Meghri highway. Artsakh will cease to exist within a few months if the peace treaty includes no clause about its status,” the former PM charged.
