ArmInfo. The concerns of opposition representatives in Armenia are due to the unilateral satisfaction of all the demands of Azerbaijan by the current authorities of the country, opposition MP Seyran Ohanyan told a briefing stated on March 21.
He noted that the fulfillment of these requirements occurs even before the start of the process of delimitation and demarcation of borders between the two states. The deputy emphasized that carrying out the delimitation and demarcation of borders without a final agreement on a peace treaty and maintaining the principle of reciprocity is fully consistent with the interests of Baku. The behavior of the Armenian side, as Ohanyan noted, contradicts the requirements of the country's Constitution and is a crime, a treacherous attitude towards the interests of its own people. "The persons involved in this process must bear responsibility, especially since after the delimitation and demarcation of borders, no one is confident that units of the Azerbaijani armed forces will leave the occupied sovereign territories of Armenia. Yesterday, during the government hour in the National Assembly, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan never answered my question about whether there is confidence that after reaching a compromise in the border delimitation process, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces will leave the territory of our country," Ohanyan said.
He added that countering these treacherous intentions of the country's authorities should be the task of every individual citizen, including military personnel, who may not succumb to demands to withdraw from positions. "The army is a disciplined structure, ensuring the security of our country, but it has the right to refuse to carry out illegally given orders," said the former head of the Ministry of Defense, adding that the main criminal is Azerbaijan, which continues to exert pressure and provocative actions against Armenia. The current authorities of the country, who were supposed to ensure the development of Artsakh, led to its depopulation, which means they lost their legitimacy. The only possibility for their removal from power is a broad consolidation of forces outside the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia.
Ohanyan emphasized that the Armenian people will never come to terms with this treacherous position of the country's authorities and the ring that is shrinking around Armenia. <The Armenian people, with all their potential and military-political capabilities, are able to organize their defense and security, thereby ensuring national security guarantees. And for this it is necessary to combine the entire national potential with its proper use," the ex-minister noted.
He said that in order to counter the authorities, the opposition will use all available tools - from the National Assembly to actions outside parliament.
