Pashinyan says: “Speaking Artsakh Republic during the liturgy is a call for war.
And what was the point of shouting “Artsakh is Armenia and that’s it” during the negotiations with the mediation of the Minsk Group? It was a direct provocation of war, which led to the loss of Artsakh and the sacrifice of an entire generation. The citizen of Armenia should clearly understand this.
A direct incitement to the war was to take pictures of people holding pomegranates in Aghdam with the slogan “Aghdam is our homeland”. You instigated a war and brought it to our country and now you are talking about peace?
At least one person from the team should be found and explain to the “reverend” that at the moment there are graves in Artsakh, very old and very new, including people who believed in your call “Artsakh is Armenia and that’s it” and gave their lives, and their relatives cannot forget that with your new calls or your new “foreign policy” slur. Someone should explain that there are holy places in Artsakh, Amaras, Gandzasar and many others, that cannot be forgotten and will not be forgotten, and that remembering all of them is not a “call for war” in any way.
To have memory, to have sanctities, to have courage, to have hope, to formulate just rights are not a call to war, but a prerequisite for living.
And as a summary, I repeat my offer from yesterday to all opposition systems and public layers. The content of the election should be simplified to one question. Are you ready to thank Aliyev with Nikol’s example? Yes or no. This is the real choice.
