During the entire pre-election campaign, Nikol Pashinyan, speaking about the forcibly displaced Artsakh Armenians from Artsakh, declared that: “There are forces in Armenia that do not want the Artsakh Armenians to settle in Armenia.”
He repeated this same idea today during the campaign in Malatia-Sebastia, saying that millions of projects are being implemented in Armenia for Artsakh Armenians.
Metaxe Hakobyan, deputy of Artsakh NA “Justice” faction in other words, apart from CP, there is no political force in Armenia that is against Artsakh Armenians staying in Artsakh.
“It is obvious that this force is the political force led by Nikol Pashinyan, that is, CP, because the millions of programs they invented and presented to the public are actually a bubble. Any material support for Artsakh Armenians, if of course he considers that Artsakh Armenians should live in Armenia for the sake of support, then there is no such thing. Today, people are facing an unsolvable housing problem, they also have no job. Now they are in a worse situation than when they were displaced, because in the beginning people supported their existence with the money they saved.” of 168.am Metakse Hakobyan said in a conversation with
According to him, the Armenians of Artsakh have many questions to the RA government about where the money that was allegedly given to the Armenians of Artsakh was wasted.
“Let Nikol not dare to sell Artsakh to us, and that too with fake banknotes, his statements are about this. All the conspiracies that are organized are organized by Nikol Pashinyan and his team, there is no conspiracy by any other force. All national forces and organizations have the same message that Artsakh Armenians should live in RA and should live with dignity until they return to Artsakh, their homeland,” added Metaxe Hakobyan.
As for Nikol Pashinyan’s statements that he has closed the issue of the return of Artsakh Armenians once and for all, and there is an agreement with Azerbaijan in that regard, “on closing the issue of refugees”, our interlocutor noted that under any circumstances and with any outcome of the elections, no one should think that the issue of the return of Artsakh Armenians is closed or that the issue of Artsakh does not exist.
“If the issue of Artsakh was closed, Nikol Pashinyan, the dictator of Azerbaijan, would not talk about it incessantly, they know about it very well. We are not the only ones talking about the Artsakh issue not being closed. Prominent figures and organizations of the international community are gradually making more statements about it. As for the “return to both sides”, Nikol Pashinyan put this talk on the agenda, because Azerbaijan knows well that the issue of the return of Artsakh Armenians to Artsakh has nothing to do with the issue of Azerbaijanis who moved to Azerbaijan during the Soviet years. So, let our people understand well what disasters will await our country in the event of their reproduction”, emphasized Metakse Hakobyan.
