“Pressing” in the program Suren Surenyants, chairman of the “Democratic Alternative” party, number 6 on the pre-election list of the “Prosperous Armenia” party, among other issues, he spoke about 300,000 Azerbaijanis coming to Armenia.
According to him, Aliyev is trying to make the subject of “Western Azerbaijan” part of the international agenda.
“Pashinyan’s educated and constructive friend Aliyev says: peace is not an empty paper that you sign and it is approved. At the helm of power in Baku sits someone who understands international relations very well.
Circles close to the government generate the idea to create a criminal prosecution tool against those oppositionists who will talk about 300,000 Azerbaijanis coming to Armenia. They threaten to initiate a case under Article 297. It is the article of the Criminal Code under which Armen Grigoryan was arrested and later died in court for spreading domestic hatred.
If the Constitution is changed at the request of Azerbaijan, then there will be demands for enclaves, settling Azerbaijanis here, and strengthening their rights with legislative mechanisms – Azerbaijani demands. I recently visited Tigranashen, which Pashinyan will hand over. The school is closed in that village, and the population is leaving. They talk about silver. It does not have the same strategic significance for us as Tigranashen and the 3 villages of Tavush, which, if lost, will put us under siege,” said Suren Surenyants.
