“Artsakh has never been, and will never be part of independent Azerbaijan, any discussion about it is unacceptable for us. This is the red line that no one has the right to cross. The annexation of Artsakh will lead to the destruction of Artsakh in Azerbaijan. It will be a geopolitical, historical, and moral tragedy for the Armenian statehood and the Armenian people,” said Artur Tovmasyan, Speaker of the Artsakh Parliament, when he opened the extraordinary session of parliament on April 14.
He said, “The people of Artsakh are determined and will not deviate from the path they have chosen. We have paid a very high price for our freedom, our independence, we have no moral right to close our history in such an unworthy way.” The deputies of the parliament observed a minute of silence for the sake of Artsakh and the memory of the victims of the Republic of Armenia. MP Arthur Mosiyan presented the draft statement of the Artsakh Parliament.
