When people express unverified opinions on allied countries, this leads to very serious consequences. This is what third President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan told reporters today.

During his press conference in the Armenian city of Kapan in the beginning of this year, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was asked if he still states that Russia knew about and permitted the Four-Day Artsakh War and said his position remains the same and had shared his opinions and concerns with his Russian colleagues and received answers.

Asked for his opinion on the answers that were given, Serzh Sargsyan said the following:

“I’m not the one who should answer that question. I would also like to hear what answers were given and what discussions were held with the colleagues from Russia. Please, ask the addressee,” Sargsyan said.

Touching upon the issue, Sargsyan stated that, from the political perspective, such statements are a result of lack of education. “When people express unverified opinions on allied countries, this leads to very serious consequences. Russia is Armenia’s strategic ally, and accusing an allied country of inciting war is inadmissible, especially when Russia has provided a tremendous amount of assistance to Armenia as an allied state,” he said, adding that Russia and Armenia have signed a document by which the military base of Russia has assumed additional obligations and that Armenia received over 50,000 tons of military-technical assistance before the events that took place in April 2018 in Armenia.

“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
