According to my information, in secret negotiations they came to the decision that all the enclaves, “islets” of Armenia shall be handed over to Azerbaijan again. Ex-PM Vazgen Manukyan, the opposition Homeland Salvation Movement’s candidate for the post of Prime Minister, stated this Tuesday during a meeting with the residents of Ararat Province of Armenia, referring to the remark that PM Nikol Pashinyan did not answer the question in the National Assembly as to whether Tigranashen (Kyarki) village will pass to Azerbaijan.

"My information is not 100 percent because it is all done secretly, behind the curtains. But his not answering to the question about Kyarki … and then remember that he said something else. He said, "Why do you ask me about the captives? Ask about Artsvashen [village];’ that is, he wants for talks about the ‘islets,’ that, 'Well, you want Artsvashen, and they want Kyarki. What to do?'

I believe they have a secret internal arrangement. Now they do not take the risk to talk about it and do; after some time they will start saying [it]. I do not internally agree with any point of the agreement that was signed, but I know that it must be done because we do not have the strength to resist it. But why should we fulfill the points that are not written in the agreement?," added Vazgen Manukyan.
