Yerevan and Baku are synchronously working to destroy Armenian statehood. This is what deputy of the “With Honor” faction of the National Assembly of Armenia Anna Mkrtchyan told reporters today. She stated that Aliyev talks about the need to make amendments to the Constitution of Armenia, and discussions on this issue are held after a while.

“The Armenian authorities are downsizing the army, and Aliyev says Armenia has no right to keep an army. The “With Honor” faction says shift of power is necessary so that negotiations are led with the adversary and so that Baku will no longer be able to exert pressure on the Armenian side. The authorities are doing everything they can to make sure the word ‘Artsakh’ is not uttered in parliament, and this is why they led the opposition’s initiative to set up a committee on Artsakh to failure. The ideas of maintenance of Armenia’s territorial integrity are currently utopian. The authorities don’t deny the fact that they are traitors and have already starting making threats, and they are also threatening the opposition. Law-enforcement authorities are apprehending and detaining people under Pashinyan’s instructions and are imprisoning those whom Pashinyan wants to isolate. However, I am certain that such methods won’t intimidate the opposition,” Mkrtchyan added.
