ArmInfo. The key to saving Artsakh is in the hands of Armenia. Avetik Ishkhanyan, chairman of the Helsinki Committee of Armenia, expressed a similar opinion.
Thus, the human rights activist, referring to the humanitarian catastrophe that is developing around Nagorno-Karabakh, admitted that for a long time he refrained from criticism, protest actions held in front of the European Union, the UN and various embassies.
Ishkhanyan also said that he himself also visited a group of citizens holding a protest near the UN office and expressed solidarity with them. "But I can't stand it anymore. Let's finally understand, the so-called international community is driven by its material, geopolitical interests and did not care about the suffering of our Artsakh compatriots. We have had many examples these days. The admiration of the European Union for the alliance of Azerbaijan- Georgia-Romania- Hungary, US military assistance to Azerbaijan continues, etc. The key to saving Artsakh is in the hands of Armenia. Artsakh can only be saved by the resignation of the anti-national government," the human rights activist said.
According to Ishkhanyan, these days the representatives of the so-called ruling "Civil Contract" force should not have rest day or night, and they should already be dreaming of resignation.
He believes that "by removing the "Civil Contract" and its leader, the Armenian society itself would have been inspired, the international community would have respect for us, and the enemy and the enemy would be careful and would unblock the road." ": While he changes ministers, holds meetings and tastes life," the human rights activist summed up.
On December 12 at 10:30 am a group of Azerbaijanis in civilian clothes blocked the Stepanakert-Goris highway, again "for environmental reasons." Armenian telegram channels have already identified employees of the special services of Azerbaijan among the so-called ecologists. The Azerbaijanis are behaving loosely, trying to provoke Russian peacekeepers, and have set up a tent on the only road linking Artsakh with Armenia. The road remains closed to this day. The so-called Azerbaijani environmentalists, who were lit up in the photo with a demonstration of the symbol of Turkish "Gray Wolves" ultranationalists, said that they would remain on the road until the head of the peacekeeping contingent, Andrei Volkov, arrived. In addition, from the evening of December 13, Azerbaijan also shut off the valve of the gas pipeline through which gas is supplied to the population of Nagorno-Karabakh. The gas supply was restored three days later. It is noteworthy that the Azerbaijanis who blocked the Stepanakert-Goris highway changed their demands, and now they demand the control and activities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Security Service of Azerbaijan throughout the territory of the Republic of Artsakh. We add that the first provocations by the so-called environmentalists began on December 3 with the blocking of the Berdzor (Lachin) corridor connecting Artsakh with Armenia.
