Jirayr Sefilyan, commander of the Shushi special military brigade and
one of the founders of Sardarapat Initiative, thinks Serzh Sargsyan
pledged to withdraw Armenian troops from the liberated territories
during a recent meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev
in Munich.
Only a few days before the meeting Azerbaijani Foreign Minister
announced they would not resume negotiations unless the Armenian side
removed the troops from the "occupied territories."
In fact, the Azerbaijani side didn’t stop the talks after the Munich
meeting which means Armenia gave pledges to them," Jirayr Sefilyan
told A1+.
He thinks that in the talks Azerbaijan uses the method of blackmail
against Armenia and dictates its will to us.
"We need not see a signed document to understand that the regime is
going to surrender our lands. The point is that the Armenian side is
losing day by day and it will be hard for us to regain the lost."
In reply to Azerbaijan’s warlike announcements, Jirayr Sefilian said,
"Azerbaijanis should realize that if they wage a war it will end
with Azerbaijan’s capitulation. Azerbaijan is deluded if it relies on
our buffoon authorities and their myrmidon top brass since Armenians
still preserve the potential they displayed in 1994.
Serzh Sargsyan realizes that he has taken treacherous steps and has
appeared in an awkward situation. He knows that Armenians treat the
liberated territories as a sanctuary and he is afraid of it.
On the other hand, Serzh Sargsyan has promised the international
community to obey their orders. Today Mr. Sargsyan faces a dilemma
for he cannot meet the demands of his people or foreigners. The only
thing to do in the given situation is to resign office, I think."
