ArmInfo. The head of the country, saying that the territory must be surrendered, otherwise there will be a war and it will be surrendered by war, actually legitimizes this war, political scientist Stepan Danielyan believes.
The expert believes that in this way, Azerbaijan can start a "legitimate" war, showing this to the international community.
"Firstly, the head of Armenia recognized these territories as Azerbaijani.
Secondly, the leader of Armenia does not control the situation, and the residents of the country do not obey him, so it remains for Azerbaijan to use force, and the leader of Armenia considers this legal.
Thirdly, the people who organize self-defense are rebels, they are not controlled by legitimate authorities, and the use of external force against them is legal," the political scientist noted.
According to him, as a result, the person named Prime Minister of Armenia transfers not only territories, but also the inhabitants of these territories, whom the enemy can take hostage or destroy.
"In fact, this person is depriving the citizens of the Republic of Armenia of the right to life and property. This statement is already a basis for recognizing the actions of such a leader as unconstitutional and outlawing him.
The dominant faction of the National Assembly, that is, the entire National Assembly, is also outside the law, and if other factions of such an illegal parliament do not give up their mandates, then they will share this responsibility," Danielyan concluded.
Earlier, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, during a conversation with residents of the border villages of Tavush, said that if Yerevan does not comply with Baku's demands to transfer a number of border villages to Azerbaijan, then a war will begin. And in case of war, Turkiye will support Azerbaijan.
