A new capitulation deal has been signed behind our back – Vazgen Manukyan

“For months we had no idea what was going on in Armenia’s Syunik province,” Vazgen Manukyan, the candidate for the PM’s post from opposition Homeland Salvation Movement told reporters at Liberty Square in Yerevan. 

“We were often told that the authorities are paralyzed as a result of which we witnessed Syunik incidents. However, as it turned out, a new capitulation deal had been signed behind our back,” Manukyan said, commenting on the border demarcation process between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Syunik. 

“The situation exacerbated after the decision to restrict the reporters entry and free reporting from the scene,” said Manukyan, adding there is a reasonable suspicion that apart from the six provisions, there are other agreements. 

“Developments are underway we are not aware of. Our motherland continues its path to destruction,” said Manukyan.

“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
