ArmInfo. The results of the Washington meetings are causing concern in the Armenian society. This was stated by the leader of the opposition faction "Armenia" of the NA of the RA, former RA Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan at a briefing in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia on September 15.
According to him, the documents signed in the American capital do not fully meet the interests of Yerevan, carrying numerous problems. Despite the assurances of the RA authorities, who present the situation in a rosy light and declare the onset of peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, in fact this is not the case. To substantiate his claims, Ohanyan cited statements by representatives of the opposition, the expert community and individual citizens, who directly speak of the presence of threats to the Armenian side in these documents. In particular, the documents do not contain requirements for the need to withdraw Azerbaijani troops from the sovereign territory of Armenia, the return of prisoners of war and the end of the judicial farce against them. The issue of international guarantees for the safe return of Armenians to Artsakh remains unclear.
The politician also criticized the document called "Trump's Path", which, on the one hand, assumes an unimpeded path, but on the other hand, creates many uncertainties. "The Armenian public cannot understand how it is possible to move towards peace against the backdrop of the ongoing aggressive rhetoric coming from the leadership of Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijani-Turkish tandem," Ohanyan said, recalling the expulsion of Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, which is a manifestation of genocide.
The politician does not agree with the authorities' claims that peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan is a guarantee of security. "Peace cannot be a guarantee of security, it must be a fundamental issue of national security strategy based on national and international guarantees. National guarantees include the army and internal law enforcement agencies, and international guarantees include the state's foreign policy," the former defense minister noted.
