ArmInfo.Third President of Armenia, Serzh Sagrsyan, asks on what basis Armenia is surrendering the villages of the Tavush region of the Republic of Armenia to Azerbaijan. "Anyone who has gone through at least some diplomatic path knows that if the last point of a document is not agreed upon in the negotiation process, then all the previous points are not agreed upon," Serzh Sargsyan told reporters on April 4.
"Are these negotiations, border demarcation process, or simply meeting Azerbaijan's demands? What does our chief negotiator tell us? He says that if we don't give, the Azerbaijanis will attack. Can we think that tomorrow, the next day, Azerbaijan will be able to set a condition and say: if you do not give up Syunik, we will attack? This way he will take whatever he wants. What kind of approach is this?", said the former president.
According to the 3rd President of the Republic of Armenia, the surrender of these villages is fraught with huge problems. "There will be many big problems. I think that even before this decision was made, they did not know what would happen there, how Armenians and Azerbaijanis would live peacefully side by side at this stage and based on what they should leave the gas pipeline entering our republic undamaged," he asks.
He noted that in the early 1990s, Armenia managed with great difficulty to stop the practice of blowing up gas pipelines. "If they think that everything is fine, Armenians and Azerbaijanis have become brothers, what can I say?", noted Serzh Sargsyan.
