Ruben Vardanyan: We should not be guided by Baku`s opinion, but do  what we think is right

ArmInfo. Artsakh must remain an Armenian, developed and happy country. State Minister of the Republic Ruben Vardanyan stated this in an interview to the  Public Television of Artsakh.

According to him, it is another problem that the faith of the people  of the republic towards such a development of events has somewhat  decreased, people do not believe in the future, they do not believe  in the leaders. "But I'm sure we can achieve our goals, but it will  require a lot of effort and work from us," the Minister of State  said, mentioning the revision of the governance system among the  priorities, which will allow the society to regain faith in its  leaders. "In times of crisis, if you don't trust your leaders, you  won't achieve anything. Secondly, it is very important that citizens  realize the need for unity, and finally, thirdly, everyone should  realize that changes are inevitable, but these changes will become  painful for the elite, who previously had very great opportunities,"  Vardanyan emphasized.

He added that in the current situation, the President of the  Republic, Arayik Harutyunyan, gave the Minister of State broad  powers, including the formation of a new government, many of which  are temporary. But as the State Minister noted, this does not mean  that they did not work well. Each of them fulfilled the tasks  assigned to them with honor, but today the situation requires new  solutions. The Minister of State noted that it is very important for  the Artsakh citizens temporarily resettled in Armenia to return to  their homeland, for which it is necessary to solve the problems  related to security, housing construction, and employment. , Vardanyan said.

He noted that the Azerbaijani authorities are doing everything to  ensure that the Artsakh people leave their lands, as evidenced by the  recen developments in Berdzor. In order to prevent such provocations  from repeating, the Armenians of both Artsakh and Armenia have to  unite. There are currently risks associated with the possibility of a  severe winter.
