ArmInfo.Today, the main issue on the agenda is the problem of whether or not the Armenian people should exist, Armen Rustamyan, of the opposition "Armenia" faction, stated on April 29 at public discussions on the current situation in the country.
According to him, there is active propaganda among the population of the country aimed at presenting the incapacity of the Armenian state. The most serious work is being done in this direction both within the state and outside. This circumstance is actively used by the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem, which sets itself the task aimed at eliminating any possible opposition from Armenia. The country's authorities are trying by all means to convince citizens that there are no alternatives.
"This tandem has set and is setting three tasks for itself - Artsakh, Syunik and a nuclear power plant. Baku coped with the first task, now Syunik and the nuclear power plant are next in line. Having surrendered Artsakh, the security threats to Armenia have tripled. The consequences of surrendering villages in the Tavush region will be the same as and in Artsakh. Instead of us putting forward demands for ethnic cleansing, Azerbaijan is doing this. According to the country's authorities, it turns out that the main guarantor of Armenia's security is Turkey and Azerbaijan. But here the question arises: does the Armenian people accept this? "It's like handing over a sheep to a wolf. How many times throughout our history can one observe the same thing, and be wrong every time," the oppositionist said.
The deputy pointed out the need to identify the sources of strength of the Armenian people in order not to cross the point of no return. "Today, there is still such an opportunity. The unity of the people is necessary on this issue. If earlier this unity was manifested in the trinity of Armenia - Artsakh - Diaspora, today Artsakh is lost, and it is necessary to unite Armenia and the Diaspora. It is important to form a new security and defense system in Armenia. Today the persons who must do this are more concerned with the issue of protecting one person. They are not defending the territorial integrity of the state, but the territory of their power," the parliamentarian stated.
