Serzh Sargsyan: No statement can dissolve Artsakh Republic

Panorama
Armenia – Dec 14 2023

Armenia’s third President Serzh Sargsyan has shrugged off the statement on the dissolution of the Artsakh Republic signed by its President Samvel Shakhramanyan.

He signed a decree to dissolve Artsakh's all state institutions from 1 January 2024 in line with the ceasefire deal with Azerbaijan in September.

"The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic cannot be dissolved by anyone's statement,” Sargsyan told reporters following a court hearing in his trial on Thursday.

Separately, the ex-president refused to comment on the would-be peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

"How can I make any comments If I haven't seen the document?" he said, calling out the Armenian authorities for failure to disclose the agreement.

Emil Lazarian: “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
