NA Vice Speaker: Let`s not be guided t by the "death of Kikos," but  by what is written and signed with Azerbaijan

ArmInfo.   Armenia has a historic opportunity to institutionalize the established peace, making it long-lasting and irreversible. Vice Speaker of the National  Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Ruben Rubinyan told reporters on  November 5, responding to concerns about recent statements by  Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev regarding Baku's intention to  resettle approximately 300,000 Azerbaijanis to Armenia. 

Commenting on this possibility, former RA Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan  expressed the opinion that if the current  government is reproduced  in 2026, such an opportunity will become a reality. In this regard,  the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly stated that former  Armenian Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan is a classic manipulator. The  reality, however, is entirely different. In 2026, Armenian citizens  will have a choice. They will have to choose between peace that will  last for decades, where residents of the republic will not worry  about the lives of their loved ones, and where these decades will be  marked by active economic development, or various kinds of  manipulators. If the latter come to power, the idea of peace will  practically collapse. Thus, peace will be jeopardized. The ongoing  border delimitation process, as well as the Washington agreements,  guarantee peace. Another factor, according to the Deputy Speaker, is  Baku's lifting of restrictions on the supply of goods to Armenia via  Azerbaijan.

 "All of this has been accomplished under the current government, and  thus, stone by stone, we must build peace. It is crucial that next  year the Armenian people declare their desire to follow this path,"  the Deputy Speaker said. He pointed out the delivery of Kazakh grain  through Azerbaijan, calling it a very important and positive sign.  Overall, Rubinyan noted, a completely different situation has emerged  in the region since August 8. He urged not to be guided by the events  of 2022, but by the events of 2025. The Deputy Speaker emphasized  that a significant part of the Armenian opposition's narrative is  being formed in Azerbaijan. If Azerbaijani officials remain silent  for a week, the Armenian opposition will have no opportunity to  comment or prove anything. "And not only in Azerbaijan. Let's not be  guided  by the 'death of Kikos,' but by what has been written and  signed with Azerbaijan," the Deputy Speaker concluded.
