“Our ancestors were slaughtered by the Turks, and we are going to make peace with the Turks today? What kind of stupidity is that? That is the power of the minds of stupid people,” Galust Sahakyan, a member of the RPA Council and former Speaker of the National Assembly, told reporters at the 17th Congress of the Republican Party of Armenia on December 18, referring to the fact that Armenia and Turkey will appoint envoys for Armenian-Turkish dialogue.
“It’s not the time for that. First, they still have to answer for starting a war, causing so many losses, and for giving Artsakh. Today Armenia was attacked. Never think that Armenians will go step by step with the Turks. Probably they will do so when it is needed. And the people feel that there is no need for that,” Galust Sahakyan said.
“Our country is in failure. A part of the people thinks either it exists today or it does not exist tomorrow. We think that we can find the way out so that we can save our state as moderately as possible,” Galust Sahakyan said.
“There are challenges, the war has not stopped. Armenia is surrounded by troops from Baku, as well as Turkey and other nomadic forces. This is the situation in Armenia,” he added.
