/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “For some reason it always seems to Azerbaijan (and
it was so initially), that it can win the war. This mistake is being
more and more hard introduced to the consciousness of the Azeri
society via various propaganda means. If today Azerbaijan speaks of
20% of its territory, are there any guarantees that resulting from
the new war it will not speak of 40%? Who can provide these
guarantees to the people of Azerbaijan? Let those Azeris, who by
their aggressive statements exacerbate the hostility between the
peoples, think about it.” Dashnaktsutyun Party Supreme Body
representative, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Permanent
Commission of the National Assembly of Armenia Armen Rustamian stated
it when answering a question by a reader of Yerkir newspaper on what
will happen if a war begins today. Besides he noted that the package
Azerbaijan has constantly come against was formed just through the
fault of Baku. As stated by the Dashnaktsutyun representative, the
issues of refugees and territories also arose due to Azerbaijan’s
aggression. “Today Azerbaijan tries to put the whole blame for the
mentioned consequences on the Armenian party and suggests deciding
these issues first and then the question of the status. As the
problem seems to be this way and in addition in a form of an
ultimatum, which means: “either a scenario favorable to me, or a
war,” we always find ourselves at the verge of resumption of the
war,” A. Rustamian said.
