He noted that this is the current reality: if people say they intend to make territorial claims beyond the borders of Armenia, this is called war.

“Call it whatever you want, but that is what it is. Am I to blame that Robert Kocharyan speaks about it? Am I to blame that other political forces are moving in that direction? I say the following: people, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, unresolved border issues were left everywhere – in Central Asia, in Ukraine, and in our region. And we were told: you who live in Armenia should always dream that your home is not only here, but also there, and we will take care of you – so that we always remain dependent on them.

And yes, there is a party of war, and there is a party of peace, and the June 7, 2026 election will be about choosing between peace and possible war,” added the Speaker of Parliament.
