Raising the flag of Nagorno-Karabakh is a prelude to raising the flag   of Russia instead of the flag of Armenia: Vahagn Aleksanyan

ArmInfo.  Raising the flag of Nagorno-Karabakh is a prelude. They are deceiving with the flag of Nagorno-Karabakh in order to later raise the flag of Russia instead of the flag of the Republic of Armenia. This was stated by the deputy of the ruling faction <Civil Contract> of the National Assembly,  Vahagn Aleksanyan, in a conversation with journalists on April 21, in  parliament.  <The elections in Gyumri are a striking example.  Literally the  day after the elections, the victorious opposition  candidate stated that Armenia should join the union state, following  the example of Belarus,> he said.

When asked if he agreed with the opposition's claim that the  government is closing the chapter on Artsakh with the peace  agreement, Aleksanyan responded: "In fact, this is the opposition's  fantasy. They take control in Nagorno-Karabakh, sign a decree for its  dissolution, and then tell the authorities: "You are closing the  chapter." Haven't you already closed this chapter with the decree on  liquidation?"
