“If the opposition comes to power, Armenia will face a war”, FM says

Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan considers the prospect of a new war “unequivocal” in the event of an opposition victory in the June 7 elections.

“The ideology of the opposition is that Armenia has territorial issues and claims with almost all of its neighboring countries.

It is obvious that if people with this mindset come to power, problems with neighbors will arise immediately, and Armenia will most likely face a new war. We offer peace, but under different conditions, in our deep conviction, the existence of Armenia could be at serious risk,” Ararat Mirzoyan said in a conversation with reporters at the National Assembly.

According to the foreign minister, they are a “party of peace.”

“It is our political right to say so. Do I see an element of blackmail? No.

Our government did not bring about the war, the war was the result of remaining within the wrong political mindset for more than 30 years,” said Ararat Mirzoyan.
