ArmInfo. The current refusal of Artsakh even in the status that it had in the USSR has become a natural result of the policy of the leadership of Armenia and Artsakh  since 1994. Expert in the field of defense and security Hrachya  Arzumanyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.

"It was this policy that led to the participation of the Armenian  people in the 44-day war in the conditions of international isolation  and the absence of military allies. As a result of this aggression,  Armenia lost the critically important territories of Artsakh and  Syunik. And today the Armenian nation is facing the threat of the  continuation of the Genocide and the destruction of Artsakh by  Turkish methods of the late 19th and early 20th centuries," he is  convinced.

According to the expert, the consent of the current Armenian  authorities with the proposed decision, puts the United States and  France in a rather awkward position, sharply narrowing their room for  maneuver. As a result, in such conditions, these two co-chairs of the  OSCE Minsk Group only managed to return the Artsakh problem to the  international arena in spite of the resistance of Russia and Turkey.

In his opinion, it was this line of power centers with interests in  the region, as well as the need for the presence of Artsakh people in  Artsakh to justify Russia's military deployment in Artsakh, gave some  time to comprehend the current situation. The latter, according to  the expert, inevitably leads to the inadmissibility of private  solutions to overcome the consequences of another catastrophe that  has befallen the Armenian people.

"Now we are facing deep challenges and threats, a symmetrical  response to which requires a complete reversal of the state and  socio-political course of Armenia. And such behavior of the Armenian  authorities has led to the formation of an existentially severe  threat, that leaves the people of Artsakh with no alternative but to  once again return their sovereignty over Artsakh. And today, the  people of Artsakh are faced with the need to make a sovereign  decision, on the basis of which a new Armenian policy in Stepanakert  and Yerevan should be built," Arzumanyan stressed. that leaves the people of Artsakh with no alternative but

In the opinion of the expert, only an affirmative answer to the  question whether the people of Artsakh have the will to once again  declare their right to a sovereign decision and the adoption of such  a decision, will return them the right and opportunity to live in  their homeland. And this should be done on the basis of the existing  experience of following the path of Miatsum, on which sovereign  decisions were made that shape the state and political future of  Artsakh. According to Arzumanyan, all other issues: ensuring  security, strengthening the army, Armenia's participation in all  these processes, are derivatives.
