ArmInfo. The "peace" agreement, the necessity of which many foreign powers are shouting about, will  actually be the most crushing blow to the Armenian people. This is stated in the article of the first Prime Minister of post-Soviet Armenia Vazgen Manukyan.  "What is happening to us now is a deep-seated conspiracy against our people. When organizing this conspiracy, they used the natural desire of our people to live in a  just country and in peaceful conditions," Manukyan said.

Speaking about the enclaves, he noted that their existence was not  enshrined in any law of the Soviet Union. They were once transferred  to Azerbaijan with the consent of the local authorities, therefore  they have no legal force, that is, de jure the enclaves are also the  territories of Armenia. <If the enclaves are given to Azerbaijan,  then this means providing the enemy with the best opportunities and  creating a temptation to continue the war. This agreement will not be  a peace agreement, but a military agreement. As for Artsakh, not only  is the idea of "let's get rid of Artsakh and live in peace" absurd,  but the moral aspect of the issue is actually raised. Show me a case  in world history when a nation holds part of its hundreds of  thousands of hostages, knowing that they will be killed and  displaced, in the vain hope that they will live well. Our people will  not live well, and this stigma will not be erased from us for  thousands of years. We will not respect ourselves, the next  generations will spit in our faces. We make ourselves and our  generations unhappy and humiliated by committing an immoral step and  national betrayal, getting war in return, not peace>, the ex-premier  of Armenia emphasized.

Manukyan pointed to the fact that Armenia, despite its territorial  integrity, does not declare the recognition of the right of the  people of Artsakh to self-determination and independence and does not  contribute to the realization of this right by all political means,  which already humiliates the people in the eyes of many other peoples  of the world. <How can you live like this? In fact, someone came and  destroyed our thousand-year history, some of the people do not  understand this, hoping that everything will be fine in the end, and  some of the people are making efforts to change all this, but cannot  do it. In such a situation, a very important role is played by the  military, law enforcement agencies, whose main goal is to protect the  state. I am speaking specifically to our law enforcement agencies:  you did not swear to defend the current Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan, you swore to defend the Motherland, the state, the  Constitution and state laws. What Nikol Pashinyan does and wants to  do, first of all, contradicts our Constitution and laws, therefore  Nikol Pashinyan is no longer legitimate. By his statements, by his  actions, and later by his signature, he becomes a state criminal, and  by defending a state criminal, you violate your oath, which is also a  state crime. I call on the law enforcement agencies to closely  monitor what is happening in our country and prevent state crimes in  time, being ready to join a large part of the people who resist the  implementation of national and state crimes and are trying to prevent  a national catastrophe and shame>, Vazgen Manukyan stressed.
