Alen Simonyan:  The Nagorno-Karabakh issue was a "trap" for Armenia

ArmInfo. The Nagorno-Karabakh issue was a "trap" for Armenia, as stated by Alen  Simonyan, Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly,  in an interview  with Deutsche Welle.

"It's a trap, we've declared this more than once. It's a trap for an  independent Armenia. It's a trap set to ensure that Armenia would  never be independent and simultaneously, Azerbaijan wouldn't be  independent either, but rather kept under control through this   leverage. I believe, and we've declared: the chapter of  Nagorno-Karabakh movement is closed, and we must never return to this  issue again. And this is the only correct path," Simonyan said in  response to a question about the issue. He also added that  the  search for historical Armenia almost led to the loss of the "real  Armenia." . Thus, Simonyan echoed the anti-Artsakh theses previously  voiced by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
