Republican: Should new territories be surrendered under the pretext  of military escalation or its threat?

Republican: Should new territories be surrendered under the pretext  of military escalation or its threat?

ArmInfo. The peace agenda of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has failed. Former Deputy Speaker of the RA Parliament, press secretary of the Republican Party  of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov, shares a similar opinion.

In this vein, he drew attention to the fact that even Pashinyan's  supporters and clients admit that a military provocation is being  prepared.

"And this is in the case when we are tired of repeating that we  cannot play the game of the Turks and Azerbaijanis. But, instead, the  Nikolists (members of the team of the current Prime Minister of the  Republic of Armenia, ed. note), beheaded the Artsakh Defense Army,  agreed to demarcation and delimitation, accepted five points of  Azerbaijan (on the normalization of relations, ed. note), gave up the  idea of independence of Artsakh, were afraid to visit Artsakh, gave  away a section of the Goris-Kapan road, Azerbaijanis occupied 41 sq.  km of the territory of the Republic of Armenia," Sharmazanov stated.

According to him, after the hostilities of 2020, not a single step  was taken towards re-equipping the country's army.

"And now, they are screaming like hares, that they do not rule out a  military provocation. You are to blame for all this, who are you  outraged at? Or do you have to hand over some new territories in the  scenario with a new military escalation or under the threat of it?"  Sharmazanov asked on his Facebook page.

In turn,  former Deputy Minister of Defense of Armenia Artak Zakaryan  expressed his conviction that Armenia faces a triple threat-  internal, regional and global, and if the opposition fails to  neutralize the most important of the three threats , the  internal  one, then we can talk about the process of destroying the state.

At the same time, Zakaryan assures that the opposition today has a  full opportunity to neutralize the security threats facing Armenia.

"In this process, the opposition has not yet succeeded in a very  important thing - to involve the largest possible number of people  and enlist their direct support," the politician said.

Speaking about the second threat to Armenia, Zakaryan expressed his  conviction that it is necessary to calculate all the processes that  may cause new threats to Armenia.  He stressed that it is not only  about the military or physical security of the country, but also  food, communication, educational, demographic, value, and spiritual  security.

"What are the current authorities doing? They are purposefully  destroying the semantic pillars of the existence of the state - the  ability to independently defend itself and act in a unified manner,"  he said at the "Real Agenda of Armenia" discussions initiated by the  "Armenia" and "I have honor" parliamentary factions.  "As for the  third level - global threats that are associated with a change in the  balance of power in the world," Zakaryan continued, "I suggest that  the two opposition parliamentary factions form a group to develop a  new security strategy, since the security strategy adopted earlier by  the authorities is absolutely useless."

Since the beginning of September, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry  has been reporting on a daily basis about provocations on the front  line from the Armenian side. And the defense department of Armenia  refutes the information of the enemy. We also add that last week a  conscript soldier of the RA Armed Forces died from an enemy bullet on  the front line.

Today, Ambassador-at-Large of the Republic of Armenia Edmon Marukyan  called on the international community to respond appropriately to  stop the provocation that Azerbaijan is preparing on the border with  Armenia
