The Armenians of Artsakh is a hostage; they put it in front of Aliyev like a dessert, they say: eat it, leave Syunik, the former Prime Minister of Armenia, and the Leader of the Freedom Party, Hrant Bagratyan, noted. “The statement of November 9 was at the request of Armenia, with the mediation of Russia. All the points were at our request, and suddenly point 9 appears in that statement, an incomprehensible point. This point does not refer to Artsakh. There is another point that the troops should stay where they are standing. For example, we were standing 20 km before Kapan.
Pashinyan says: come back, they tell him: it is written where we stand. He says: no, this is my decision, come back. An answer must be given for this. At the same time, they are returning more than they should and giving up something from the territory of Armenia, for example, the Goris-Chakaten section. Point 9 appears; read the statement of November 9; when you read it, you will see that the statement says that the existing road communications are being opened, that is, the Meghri railway; in addition to this, Armenia gives several more roads, a connection to Western Azerbaijan and Nakhijevan. Some may say that it is not written a corridor; it is written “unobstructed path.” Aliyev and Pashinyan argued at the CIS session a couple of months ago. Aliyev spoke very briefly. Pashinyan had to remain silent; he said: what you wrote, I call it a corridor.
Instead of short-sighted sticking to the statement of November 9 and saying: the Russians are guarding that road, no matter what, let me go with the Russians to reach such a status of the roads that the sovereignty of Armenia is not violated or is violated to a minimal extent, Pashinyan started the anti-Russian propaganda, a poisonous wave, which confused the Russians.

There are three directions of the strike: one is from Sisian, from Ishkhanasar. He will tell us to cross from there and enter Nakhichevan by Angeghakot. These authorities have already built the road up to Angeghakot. They do not say that we will not provide this road; they built the road themselves and say there should be Armenian border guard troops and a customs office on that road. Aliyev says, “Keep calm; you wrote there without hindrance, that’s it.” The other one is coming from Jermuk; they were 20 km away from Jermuk city, but according to our operative information, they are 8 km away and came 12 km ahead. And the other is Vardenis, he wants to break away from Vardenis. And Pashinyan started asking for help from the West; he is doing everything to focus the problem on Karabakh,” said Hrant Bagratyan.
According to Bagratyan, the Americans want to solve this problem themselves without bringing troops or giving weapons. They provide weapons only to Azerbaijan. “And here, the same West tried to tell Azerbaijan: we give it to you completely; we don’t care about the issue of self-determination, about the fact that we are part of the Minsk Group, that we are obliged to find a solution, at best, we are fighting “for an honorable burial for the people of Karabakh for. And they said: our goal is to get the Russians out of here. And in general, the West says: Nikol, remember, my goal is not to solve the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict during these negotiations but to remove the Russians from Armenia. After that, I will attack Iran, and Russia is also my enemy. Here we find that it is more important for the West to solve the issues of Russia, and we accept it. Perhaps the West advised Nikol: go and recognize the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan: 86.6 thousand square kilometers. This one also comes and makes an announcement; he says: Aliyev, you also announce 29.8 thousand square meters…”.
He also added that the issue of Syunik refers to the territory of Armenia; the President of Armenia is obliged to say: I am canceling point November 9, point 9.
“Either we cancel this, or we have to put it to a referendum. The current government is doing everything to avoid this. The ruling team says to strengthen the Karabakh issue a little; maybe, in return, they will say, OK, we are forgetting Syunik. In this process, the Armenians of Artsakh suffer, which is a hostage; they put it in front of Aliyev like a dessert, and say: eat it, leave Syunik,. “Pashinyan is already afraid of Syunik because it turns out that he gave away not only Karabakh but the territories of Armenia itself,” he added.
