“I assess the speeches of the Prime Minister and his teammates over the last two days as psychological terrorism against their own population,” said Tatevik Hayrapetyan, a former member of the My Step faction of the National Assembly and an expert on Azerbaijani affairs, during a discussion at the Article 3 Press Club. Tatevik Hayrapetyan assured that it was not written in the program of the ruling power that Artsakh should be part of Azerbaijan. She explained, “First, they came to power, and they were re-elected very illogically, but their program clearly stated that Artsakh could not survive under the subordination of Azerbaijan.”
Tatevik Hayrapetyan assessed the speech of the RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan as illogical and mentioned, “Two contradictory conclusions emerge from the same basis. One says that we should start the era of peace, that is, we should lower the bar, which is supposed to discuss Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan. Another cites a case involving a UN tribunal stating that the Armenian population cannot live safely under Azerbaijan. Two contradictory allegations.”
Tatevik Hayrapetyan noted that the negotiation process is completely falsified. “Some participants in the talks also stated that Shushi was not on the negotiating table. This is another attempt to dig into reality, blaming everything on the former, as if they were giving Artsakh to Azerbaijan. A simple question: if Artsakh was handed over in the negotiations, then why didn’t Azerbaijan sign it? Here, the whole manipulation closes for me.” According to Tatevik Hayrapetyan, we made our concession on November 9. “November 9 is a paper on that concession. We left Karvachar, Akna, and from the NKAO territory Hadrut, and Shushi as part of Azerbaijan, and the Armenian leader, who left the 7 regions surrounding the NKAO, which served as a security zone, and we know that it was negotiated, compares the NKAO territories to the sovereign territories of Armenia.”
Tatevik Hayrapetyan recalled that they blamed the CSTO. “Ten days ago, the RA Foreign Minister assured in his report that they had managed to use the CSTO mechanisms, and it worked in Kazakhstan. So why didn’t you work for Armenia? What illogical search for culprits is this to justify one’s own concessions? Pashinyan deviated from his proposed program, and so did his party members. They did not stick to the theses with which they came to power and received a mandate. They did not have the authority to decide the fate of Artsakh on behalf of Artsakh or the Armenian people, because they themselves insisted that Artsakh should decide his destiny. They were not elected in Artsakh and Artsakh announced its position yesterday.”

Tatevik Harutyunyan said that Nikol Pashinyan falsified the reality to justify his further concessions. “This is the reality. We either resist or adapt to this illogical illusion created in parallel. And we will simply lose our statehood.”
