Artsakh president demands public apology from Armenian NA speaker 

Artsakh president demands public apology from Armenian NA speaker 

ArmInfo. Artsakh President Samvel Shahramanyan condemned the recent statements by the Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Alen Simonyan, who said that "if the  people of Artsakh wanted a homeland, they would fight for it."

As reported by the Artsakh Information Headquarters, in a statement  released today, the President of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic  demanded that Simonyan publicly apologize to the forcibly displaced  people of Nagorno-Karabakh and called on him to refrain from making  assessments that cast doubt on the struggle of the people of Artsakh  for their homeland.

In addition, Shahramanyan demanded that Simonyan tell who from  Artsakh asked to open the so-called border.

"With this statement, Simonyan tried to belittle the heroic struggle  of the people of Artsakh in the conditions of more than nine months  of blockade and large-scale military actions that began after that,"  Shahramanyan noted.

The President emphasized that the people of Artsakh did everything  possible to preserve life in their historical homeland. In this  regard, he recalled that the struggle is being waged not only on the  battlefield, but also in the political and diplomatic arenas.

"The struggle is being waged not only on the battlefield, but also on  the political and diplomatic fronts, where Simonyan is also present.  At different times, he has changed his views and position on the most  important issues concerning Artsakh and Armenia, depending on  political expediency," the President of Artsakh emphasized.

In addition, Shahramanyan called for using the rostrum of the  National Assembly to solve the existential problems of the Armenians  of Artsakh. He proposed to direct efforts to revising the failed  housing program and creating conditions for the people of Artsakh to  remain in their home country.

"The Artsakh authorities have done everything possible to ensure that  the servicemen defending the Motherland do not feel lonely and can  safely leave their positions or the blockade after the cessation of  hostilities," Shahramanyan summarized.

Earlier, when asked by a journalist from Artsakh about when she would  be able to return to her homeland, the Speaker of the Armenian  Parliament Alen Simonyan said that the people of Artsakh "left their  homes themselves, although they could have stayed and fought to the  end." He stated that the return would be possible only if security  was ensured, which would be achieved after the conclusion of a peace  treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In addition, he stated that  the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh had the opportunity to fight with  the weapons that were at their disposal.

According to official data from the Artsakh Defense Army, 265 sons of  the Armenian people laid down their lives for the Motherland while  repelling the enemy attack on September 19-20, 2023.

At the same time, in this unequal battle, according to official data,  the enemy lost 205 people, more than 500 people were wounded. At the  same time, according to unofficial data, over 1,000 enemy soldiers  died in this battle.

According to the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, it is  Armenia that is the guarantor of Artsakh's security. However, on  September 19-20, 2023, when Azerbaijan initiated another act of  aggression against Artsakh, after a 10-month total blockade of the  Republics, the Armenian authorities did not take any action to assist  the Artsakh authorities, leaving Nagorno-Karabakh alone with the  enemy.
