“The Artsakh issue should be resolved, I am not saying by the handover of the lands. There is nothing about the handover of the lands, no handover must be done and wait what will Azerbaijan think,” said parliamentarian candidate nominated by RPA, non-partisan war veteran Vladik Abrahamyan at the “Tesaket” press club. Recall that in the pre-election period, the “Congress-PPA” alliance acted in support of the fulfillment of the concession option, the Madrid principles, as a solution to the Karabakh conflict. As described by the RPA candidate, only after the recognition of the Artsakh independence by Azerbaijan, the occupied territories can be “handed over to some extent, with the exception of the Lachin corridor.”
The war veteran also addressed Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan’s statement that the military equipment of the Armenian side had poor quality fuel during the four-day war in April. “If the Prime Minister says that the fuel was mixed and there was a shortage of fuel, so what can I add? Hence, there is something that they are saying. It means that there were shortcomings. But there were rumors also. They were saying that General Manvel has fought with one and the other, in the event when he stood up, all the Volunteer Defenders of the Land of Armenia stood up.”
