Armenian opposition lawmaker Kristine Vardanyan on Thursday accused members of the ruling Civil Contract party of fearmongering after they warned that renewed war with Azerbaijan was inevitable if they were not re-elected in the June parliamentary elections.

 

“When you say Azerbaijan will attack us on a specific day, I cannot help but ask – have you agreed on this?” Vardanyan asked them at a parliament session, questioning the source of such claims. “Where do you get this information, the day, the hour?”

 

The opposition Hayastan faction deputy argued that Armenia had endured multiple conflicts during Civil Contract’s eight years in power, while her team’s decade in government had passed without war. “Do you see the difference?” she said.
