ArmInfo.Threatening people with war is not the mission of the leader of a country. Maintaining  power through lies at the expense of Armenian territories is unacceptable.  Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Protection of Human Rights and Public Affairs of the National Assembly of RA, whose  powers have been  terminated, nonpartisan MP Taguhi Tovmasyan states.

The MP noted that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visited  Tavush exactly a week ago and, at a meeting with citizens, holding  the outline of a map of the Republic of Armenia in his hands,  threatened them. Tovmasyan recalled that Pashinyan, in particular,  said: "We must not allow another war to break out.  And that is why  we decided that we should adjust the RA border in these areas. And we  are doing this not only for the sake of RA, but specifically for the  village of Voskepar , Kirants village to ensure the safety of these  villages."

"Citizens who participated in the meeting with the Prime Minister,  who is ready to easily give up our country, told the media that Nikol  Pashinyan told them in a conversation that either they must agree to  transfer the territories of 4 villages to Azerbaijan, or war will  break out in a week. Today a week has passed, and the Prime Minister  is not giving any information about what will happen.

You simply cannot threaten people with war, you cannot terrorize  citizens, you cannot sow despair among citizens, you cannot quote  encyclopedias and declare that 4 villages of the Tavush region are  not Armenian territories, but Azerbaijani territories. You cannot sow  uncertainty in citizens about the future of your own Motherland, and  you simply cannot lie," Tovmasyan noted.

The MP recalled that the Azerbaijani armed forces occupied the  sovereign territories of the Republic of Armenia in Syunik,  Gegharkunik, Vayots Dzor,  but there are no demands for their  withdrawal from there.  "We don't hear Nikol Pashinyan talking about  how livestock and agriculture have become impossible in three regions  of Armenia as a result of the Azerbaijani occupation. And in a number  of cases, problems have arisen with drinking and irrigation water,  and that enemy positions are already several hundred meters from  schools and people's houses (Shurnukh, Nerkin Hand, Kut and other  settlements).

We do not hear Nikol Pashinyan talking about what new problems will  arise after the transfer of 4 villages, when pastures, arable lands,  strategic water resources, gas pipelines, etc. will come under the  control of the Azerbaijanis. We also do not hear Nikol Pashinyan,  along with his readiness to demarcate borders, talk about the current  threats to the lives of people living in border villages," the MP  stated.
