Situation in Armenia’s Syunik has not changed with the Azeri forces having penetrated into the Armenian territory and increase the number of their troops, former governor of Syunik, leader of Reviving Armenia party Vahe Hakobyan said in an interview with Aysor.am.

Referring to the statement of Armenia’s acting PM Nikol Pashinyan about the Azerbaijan information war agents operating in Armenia, Hakobyan urged to mention their names.

The party’s leader stressed that it appears those who oppose what authorities say are agents of other countries.

“If I was on their place I would have searched for agents among them, they know quite well who they are and which country’s agents they are,” Hakobyan added.

The ex-governor claimed that the authorities neither want nor are able to settle the Syunik issue.

“It is a conviction that they do not care about the nation, state, statehood, captives. Who is dealing today with the issue of our captives? Who? I am convinced that they do not know the exact number,” Hakobyan said, stressing that these authorities must leave a second earlier for the people able to make decisions in critical situations come and settle the issues.

The ex-governor noted that it is absolutely senseless to sit over table with Nikol Pashinyan to discuss the Syunik issue.

“Because a traitor, unskilled one is sitting in front of us. How can we sit and negotiate with such person? If he has logic, patriotism inside he must say “dear people, I am unable,” kneel and ask for apology and say “take me to court”,” he said.

Hakobyan added that people who still support Pashinyan make a very small mass now.

“These are people, to put it mildly, without education who are in information collapse. The literate know very well that Nikol Pashinyan is the evil of the country and he cannot reproduce, it will not happen,” the ex-governor said.

The leader of the party said he is convinced that some documents will be revealed that will show that some territories will be conceded.
“I am convinced that Syunik’s cases are Azerbaijan’s asymmetric steps for him [Nikol Pashinyan] to probably bring to life what he has promised,” Hakobyan said.

The ex-governor said the authorities have wasted time in Syunik issue, and now the issue must be settled with concrete steps where Russia’s role will be quite big.

“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
