During a meeting with journalists today, presidential candidate of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic), hero of Artsakh, army general Vitali Balasanyan said he and his team aren’t going to let a revolution be made in Artsakh.

Touching upon Nikol Pashinyan’s statement that there are conspiratorial forces in Artsakh, Balasanyan stated that he doesn’t share this view. Balasanyan also said he doesn’t understand who those conspiratorial forces are and what the words “former” or “new Armenia” mean.

Vitali Balasanyan urged Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to present the list of conspiratorial forces so that people in Artsakh also know who they are. The leader of Armenia’s political authorities and his team need to refrain from making dangerous statements and apologize to the public as soon as possible. The time will come and we will speak out, and Nikol Pashinyan will be held liable for those words. Today is a historic day for all of us and for Nikol Pashinyan’s political authorities, and I ask them to refrain from making such statements and not try to make a revolution in Artsakh because we won’t allow it,” Vitali Balasanyan stated.

“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
