Andranik Kocharyan: The withdrawal of the Azerbaijani troops is not a  demand, but a necessity 

ArmInfo.The withdrawal of the Azerbaijani troops is not a demand, but a necessity. Chairman of the RA NA Standing Committee on Defense and Security Issues Andranik  Kocharyan stated this during a briefing in the Parliament on October  27. 

As the press service of the RA NA reports, "The presence of any  foreign soldier on our sovereign territory will not ever be  tolerated, and they should peacefully leave our territory," the MP  underscored.

"We present the demand of the Armenian side on all platforms: Our  international colleagues also present that demand very targeted, and  we hope that the Azerbaijani military-political leadership,  eventually, will withdraw the troops to the initial positions," the  Secretary of the Civil Contract Faction Artur Hovhannisyan said.

Let us note that the representatives of the NA Civil Contract Faction  honoured the memory of the October 27, 1999 crime victims with a  minute of silence before beginning the parliamentary briefings.

According to Andranik Kocharyan, the fact of October 27 not being  continuously disclosed does not give an opportunity to build inner  solidarity in our country. "In line with this day I request the new  Prosecutor General to be consistent in all the problems on disclosing  October 27," the MP said and added that very important witnesses  died, but there are perspectives of reaching its disclosure.
