Armenia`s authorities putting country to new trials - MP

ArmInfo. The current Armenian authorities are subjecting the country to new trials, conveying messages of despair, defeatism and helplessness to the public. This  was written on his Facebook page by Tigran Abrahamyan, a member of  the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia from the opposition  faction With Honor.

The deputy recalled that for several days now Azerbaijan has been  spreading disinformation about ceasefire violations by Armenia, which  the RA Ministry of Defense promptly refutes.

"And what is Pashinyan doing against this background? He writes a  strange status that he gave the Defense Ministry a clear order not to  violate the ceasefire, because Armenia is moving towards peace, not  war. A third party may get the impression that either violations on  the Armenian side really took place, and Pashinyan ordered them to  stop, or Pashinyan hints that he is not sure that the army will act  within the framework of his political course, and insists on his  order. I am convinced that the Armenian army did not violate the  ceasefire, but I am even more sure that Pashinyan's statuses make  Armenia even more vulnerable. Peace is not begged for. It is achieved  through the right negotiating position, diplomatically competent and  flexible policies, the presence of an effective governance system in  the country, the implementation of the necessary security measures  and constant readiness for war," Abrahamyan noted.

The day before, in his post on Facebook, RA Prime Minister Nikol  Pashinyan announced that he had instructed the RA Ministry of Defense  not to violate the ceasefire. "Armenia is moving towards peace, not  war," the Prime Minister emphasized.

For several days in a row, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry has been  making statements that the Armenian armed forces are allegedly  violating the ceasefire, which the RA Defense Ministry has constantly  denied.  The idea is being formed in the Armenian public that with  its actions, Baku is preparing the ground for a new armed  provocation.
