“Classes” of the program the guest՝ Turkic scholar, candidate of historical sciences Varuzhan Geghamyan spoke About the strategic importance of Tigranashen, which, Nikol Pashinyan did not deny that he will hand over to Azerbaijan.
“On the morning of June 8, if the de facto regime was re-elected, there will be a demand to present Tigranashen, which the Turks call Kyarki, to Azerbaijan as soon as possible. Tigranashen is of critical importance for the territorial integrity of Armenia. Tigranashen is located on the border of Nakhichevan and Vayots Dzor and Ararat. If Tigranashen is surrendered, a Turkish wedge will be driven into the territory of Armenia. Tigranashen is also located on the border of Central Northern Armenia and Southern Armenia.
If Tigranashen is handed over, it will not be a village, but a large military base. Our geography does not allow us to build a normal road bypassing that section. To go from Masis to Yeghegnadzor, from Yerevan to Goris or from Vanadzor to Kapan, you will have to deal with Azerbaijanis in one way or another. To go from one part of Armenia to another, we will pass through the Azeri corridor. If Kyarky is an enclave, as they say, and Azerbaijan wants to have a presence there, there is no other way than to give a corridor to that land.
It’s not enough, we will give that enclave, one more small corridor to get there. By handing over Tigranashen, Armenia is creating a slow-acting bomb in its territory, which will have access to the entire Ararat Valley. To go from Yerevan to Iran, whether you like it or not, you will pass through the Azerbaijani territory. It turns out that instead of lifting the blockade, we get a full blockade,” said Varuzhan Geghamyan.
