ArmInfo.Vitaly Balasanyan is not Artsakh, Artsakh is not Vitaly Balasanyan. Head of the "Hay Dat" Central Office and on political issues of the ARF (Armenian Revolutionary Federation also known as Dashnaktsutyun, ED. note) , Kiro Manoyan stated this at a press conference on October 15, commenting on the scandalous interview of Former Secretary of the Security Council of Artsakh, Vitaliy Balasanyan.
To recall, earlier the Prosecutor General's Office of Armenia sent a scandalous interview to the National Security Council of Balasanyan, in which he directly accused RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the "Sasna Tsrer" party of terrorism. In addition, he threatened party members with physical harm. We add that Balasanyan, who was released in June this year from the post of head of the Security Council, intends to run for president of Artsakh.
Manoyan noted that the ARF is in favor of preventing both parties from making statements that could aggravate relations. Moreover, according to him, the tension between the parties can negatively affect the process of forming a positive atmosphere, and even lead to polarization of society. Manoyan also said that during the days of the Artsakh Friends Forum in Stepanakert, the issue related to Balasanyan's statements was not discussed with President Bako Sahakyan.
