“Our proposal has received heated public-political discussions, and the approach of the majority of citizens is positive,” Artur Vanetsyan, the leader of the I Have Honor alliance and former head of the National Security Service, stated on Friday from the National Assembly tribune. The opposition proposed to create a standing committee on Artsakh issues in the National Assembly, and the pro-government deputies have reservations. Vanetsyan said, “The post-war agenda dictates that we should have a permanent parliamentary unit dealing with the post-war issues.
The severity of the negotiation issues has sharply increased with its security and political components and spiritual and cultural directions. The establishment of such a commission is not only a matter of substantive expediency, but also a clear political message to the Armenians of Artsakh, the Diaspora, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and the international community. It is a message that we have not washed our hands of Artsakh, and we have not refused to deal with the problems of Artsakh.”
