“If the leader of the country renounces his holy land, what other leader? our lands

After the official start of the pre-election campaign for the upcoming parliamentary elections on June 7, Nikol Pashinyan left for Syunik marz with his teammates. In the border village of Kornidzor, Nikol Pashinyan again referred to the subject of Artsakh, saying that he really wants to talk about Kornidzor-peace relations.

“We made a very difficult decision and the essence of that decision was that we, as a state and people, stop the Karabakh movement, because the analysis of the previous period showed us that the factors related to the Karabakh movement of the previous period were used to stop the progress of our country.

We are accused of losing territories, I want to say clearly that we have not lost territories, because those territories, which in reality we believed that they belong to us, those territories not only did not belong to us, but were also used to weaken our right to the territories that actually belong to us. Our state has been trapped since its creation,” said Nikol Pashinyan.

Former head of Aravus, head of the “Aprelu Yerkir” faction of the Tegh community council, from Argam Hovsepyan We wondered how Nikol Pashinyan’s statement was received in Syunik, did the residents raise the issue of the occupied territories of Syunik?

“When the leader of your country stands up and says, “Karabakh was never ours,” and the crowd applauds, I don’t consider those applauding to be from Syun. If the head of the country renounces his land, that is the holy land, what kind of leader is he? I cannot accept such a person as the head of the country.” 168.amArgam Hovsepyan said in a conversation with

He also stressed that, of course, Syunik citizens raised the issue of the occupied territories of Syunik, a normal Syunik citizen cannot but be concerned about this issue.

“Of course, they raised all the problems, it’s not that his supporters come to talk, but the real Syuntsi is concerned, but they don’t allow him to come, it doesn’t mean that they don’t talk about the problems, but the answers, as always, were disappointing,” emphasized Argam Hovsepyan.

As for Nikol Pashinyan’s other statement that “Syunik is a region of peace, there should not be a note of melancholy next to the name of Syunik”, our interlocutor remarked: who has seen such peace?

“Our compatriots are in prisons in Baku, they were illegally convicted, part of our sovereign territories are under the occupation of the enemy, what kind of peace are they talking about now, what is that peace?” If this is peace, then I don’t understand anything. My Armenian, compatriot, brother is illegally sentenced to life in prison in Baku, I don’t want such peace. Or does he want to establish peace at the expense of our lands?

As a citizen of this country, I am very disappointed by all this, I expect that our Syunik will take an active part in the upcoming elections, so that things will change in that country,” stressed Argam Hovsepyan.
