“The person who says that is lying. I have never negotiated concessions. I have always negotiated about what we can get, and we were, to some extent, ready to compromise. If the situation was not concerning, thousands of people would not be here at the moment,” the third president of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan told reporters in Freedom Square on April 5.
Answering the question about what should be done and how is it possible to prevent the impending danger, as it is not ruled out that Nikol Pashinyan and Ilham Aliyev will reach certain agreements during tomorrow’s meeting, Serzh Sargsyan answered, “Depending on what agreements they reach, I do not think they will be able to leave Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan or make Armenia a country that always begs for peace.”
Answering other journalists’ questions on the topic, Serzh Sargsyan added that, of course, there are dangers in the air, but it is unlikely that a document will be signed tomorrow that can be a basis for further capitulation. Answering the question about how the current authorities claim that the former authorities have accepted the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, Serzh Sargsyan said that the answer has been given hundreds of times. In response to the question about the five points presented by Azerbaijan to Armenia, the former president answered that the square is not the place to talk about it, and urged the journalists to be satisfied with what he said.

Answering the question that the government says that we had to prepare the people for peace for 30 years so that we would not find ourselves in the created reality, Serzh Sargsyan said, “You know, such conflicts are not easy to resolve in 30, 40, even 50 years. We have brought that solution as close as we can and it is not our fault that people came to power who said that they start from their point of view, and it is not your business what we are negotiating, we are negotiating what we want, and we are now in this situation. The one who says that is lying. I have never negotiated concessions. I have always negotiated about what we can get, based on that, and we were, to some extent, ready to compromise,” Serzh Sargsyan said in response to the question about how they say that he has always negotiated concessions.
