I know that by my step, I am causing pain to many people; they should accept that I honestly got up and came to Artsakh, leaving my family, and the good life, because I understand that the issue of Artsakh is very complicated and severe, it is a crisis.
Ruben Vardanyan, the former State Minister of the Republic of Artsakh, gave such an answer to the question on the live air of Radio “Aurora” that there is a widespread opinion that the Kremlin sent him to Artsakh:”If people accept that Ruben Vardanyan left everything and came without ulterior motives, if they understand that what Ruben Vardanyan did is normal, everything will fall into place. The abnormal has become normal, and the normal has become some heroism. I know that by my step, I am causing pain to many people; they should accept that I honestly got up and came to Artsakh, leaving my family, and the good life, because I understand that the issue of Artsakh is very severe and complicated, it is a crisis. The question arises, why those who spread these rumors are not in Artsakh?
On the other hand, it is effortless to spread the idea that I am a person from England on the one hand, Russia on the other, or I don’t know from Japan; it remains to make me a person from Brazil. No matter what you say, they spread it; yes, they say he is busy laundering money, and they are ready to apply everything about me as long as they don’t ask themselves why they aren’t in Artsakh. In this way, they try to justify that they have the right not to do anything,” said Ruben Vardanyan.
