We have a clear-cut red line that we talk about all the time. This is a nationwide red line, it is such for both the authorities and the people of Artsakh, and for all Armenians. And the essence of this red line is that Artsakh will never be part of Azerbaijan, this is out of the question.
If tomorrow someone tries to include Artsakh in Azerbaijan, it will lead to a new war, genocide, deportation.
The women and children can be taken out, but the men will stay and fight to the death, that’s also an option. But we will not be part of this country, because it will lead to the destruction of not only Artsakh, but also Armenia.
