Oppositionist: The trial in Baku  is not only aimed at the  military-political leadership of the NKR, but also challenges the  right of Artsakh and Armenia to self-determination

ArmInfo.In 2018, individuals lacking experience in governing the country or involvement in negotiations on Artsakh came to power. Seyran Ohanyan, the head of the opposition faction "Armenia" in the Armenian parliament and former Minister of Defense, made this statement on February 28 at the "Tsitsernakaberd" memorial complex  where memorial events are being held today to commemorate the 37th anniversary of the Armenian  pogroms in Sumgait.

In a conversation with journalists, Ohanyan highlighted the ongoing  the genocidal actions of Azerbaijan.  He pointed out that Azerbaijan  is trying to rewrite Armenian history by claiming the existence of  the so- called "Western Azerbaijan". The oppositionist emphasized  that raising this issue only on international platforms is  insufficient.

The MP drew attention to the fact that in the current reality,  Azerbaijan's genocidal actions are taking place against the backdrop  of a theatrically organized judicial farce against the  military-political leadership of Artsakh and other prisoners held in  Baku dungeons. "All rights are violated there, and not only these  people are judged, but also the right of Artsakh, as well as Armenia,  to self-determination. After all this, turning a blind eye to these  issues and neglecting to advocate for the rights of our people and  prisoners  is, at the very least, immoral," he explained.  Ohanyan  criticized the current government for its silence and refusal to file  lawsuits in international courts, noting that such actions are  unacceptable when dealing with  an aggressive state like Azerbaijan.
