Armenian premier perfectly aware of no peace between Armenia and  Azerbaijan - opposition MP

ArmInfo. RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan knows very well that there is no peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The day before, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that we need to be prepared for war. Anna Mkrtchyan, a member of the RA National Assembly from the opposition faction With Honor, said this in an interview with journalists. According to her,  a very clear formula for the Pashinyan-Aliyev relationship has been  formed. The latter threatens the statehood of Armenia, and Pashinyan,  in turn, threatens the Armenian people. Moreover, these threats have  already been carried out more than once. "Since 2018, Nikol and  Aliyev, comparing their steps, have constantly restrained the just  anger of the Armenian people, directing their arrows against the  national identity and self-preservation of the Armenian state," the  deputy said, pointing to the thousands of political prisoners whose  trials are held almost daily.

"The arrest of two archbishops, the extension of the arrest of a  woman - political prisoner Lidiya Mantashyan, the arrest of the  father of war hero Ara Rostomyan, the arrest of businessman and  philanthropist Samvel Karapetyan: Nikol has found a formula according  to which, by persecuting the Armenian people, he is trying to  consolidate his power, since there are simply no other methods," the  oppositionist said.

She pointed to the fact that over the past three or four days, the  head of the Armenian government has been constantly talking about the  possibility of peace with Azerbaijan, because he cannot deceive a  part of Armenian society. "He knows very well that there can be no  talk of any peace. Yesterday, Aliyev admitted that the document  signed in Washington was written in Baku, which was imposed on  Yerevan, it fully meets the interests of Azerbaijan. Moreover, he  called Armenia a hostile state," Anna Mkrtchyan emphasized, adding  that Nikol Pashinyan, who ignores the rights of the Armenian people  in order to retain power, knows all this very well. "He chose himself  as a victim of the Armenian people, constantly resorting to force and  arrests in order to reproduce his power," the MP noted.
