ArmInfo.Of course, Armenia cannot start the process of delimitation and demarcation of borders with Azerbaijan just like that, at the suggestion of the RF Ministry of Defense. Commenting on the statement of Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on consent to three proposals of the RF Ministry of Defense, Head of the "For the sake of the Republic" party Arman Babajanyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.
"Few people know, but in June this year, a working group consisting of employees of the Ministry of Defense and the State Cadastre Service of Armenia carried out work in this direction and presented the government with relevant proposals. We thought that as a result, the risks for Armenia were minimized. However, we are faced with a situation where we have three proposals from Moscow on demarcation. I can assume that the working group I mentioned was formed on the basis of the second proposal of the RF Ministry of Defense, "he said.
Assessing delimitation and demarcation on the basis of the abovementioned three proposals, as elements that largely determine the future of the Armenian people and state, Babajanyan forecasted that this process could play a decisive role in the very future existence of the Armenian statehood. In this light, the politician considers it categorically unacceptable to leave the processes proceeding quickly enough to chance. Stating that the only country to which Armenia periodically turns for help is only Russia, Babajanyan asked about the reasons for the absence of similar calls from Yerevan to Washington, Paris or Tehran. Emphasizing the impossibility of predicting at this stage all the negative consequences of drawing borders through forceful pressure for the Armenian statehood, the politician emphasized the irreversibility of the consequences of this process for Armenia.
"I would like to especially note that the Prime Minister's statement on the proposals of the RF Ministry of Defense came as a surprise for the diplomatic corps accredited in Armenia. It is necessary to carry out consistent work with foreign ambassadors, mobilizing for this purpose informed political, analytical, expert and public forces. All this should be coordinated from one center. We are being offered help right now. They expressed their readiness to provide tremendous assistance and support, "he said.
Babajanyan also considers it necessary to immediately curtail road construction and other state investments. All available funds, all the potential in his opinion, should be directed to solving security problems in the short, medium and long term. Together with the use of any diplomatic capabilities of the Foreign Ministry, parliamentary diplomacy, the Armenian delegation to the OSCE PA, CIS, NATO, CSTO and PACE, this should give an effect and focus the world's attention on the consequences of the 44-day war and Azerbaijan's recent aggression against Armenia.
"The current silence of Armenia and, accordingly, the world is simply criminal. The complex challenges and threats formed around Armenia are not uplifting for one political force. Their solution requires coordination of national efforts. Armenia needs a respite to stabilize the situation and strengthen its positions. If we continue in the same spirit as now, neither our ancestors nor our descendants will forgive us, "the politician summed up.
