ArmInfo.One person is to blame for this situation - Nikol Pashinyan. Head of "Bright Armenia" faction Edmon Marukyan stated this in an interview with journalists.
The MP noted that on October 11, during a meeting of the Council of the National Assembly, Pashinyan stated that we are losing, but he believes that a short-term ceasefire should be concluded and then the hostilities should be continued.
"I suggested that we turn to Russia and ask to stop the war. Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that Shushi should remain under our control, but in return we must accept refugees from Azerbaijan, however, Pashinyan did not agree. The prime minister did not deny this. But he had the opportunity to end the war in 20 days, but he didn't. Today he explains the reasons for his decision, but now nobody cares about them, "the MP noted.
Marukyan stressed that during the war the parties have two options: either to sharply increase and carry out a large-scale destruction of the enemy, or to stop it in order to save the population. "We had one question for Pashinyan, do we have the resources to continue the war? We asked this question at the Security Council meeting. He said that <there is no choice, this is Sardarapat>. He did not take into account that there were no "Bayraktar" during the Sardarapat battle, "the MP said.
Marukyan also noted that a person is elected to a responsible post so that he can resolve issues. "When electing to the post of prime minister, you must realize that Armenia has terrible neighbors. And the premiership implies not only privileges, but also responsibility for solving the Artsakh issue. If Pashinyan was not ready for this, then he should not have been elected to this post," stressed the head of the PA.
