Statements by Alen Simonyan are carte blanche for aggression: Opposition MP
ArmInfo.Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan, with his statements today, gives Azerbaijan legal grounds for attacking Armenia. Opposition MP from the Hayastan bloc Garnik Danielyan expressed this opinion.
Thus, in a conversation with journalists in the parliament today, Simonyan questioned the belonging of a number of territories of Tavush region to RA. "I search and do not find those who believe and can prove that these villages are the territory of the Republic of Armenia," Simonyan said. When asked how the authorities determine the borders of the country, what maps they rely on, if they do not exist yet, Simonyan emphasized that the authorities know the borders of the Republic of Armenia with millimeter accuracy. "According to Alen Simonyan, RA occupied the territories of Azerbaijan and that Azerbaijan, at any moment, could attack under the pretext of their return. This gives Azerbaijan legal grounds to attack Armenia.
The so-called Speaker of the National Assembly, in fact, considers RA an aggressor state and, without any process of delimitation and demarcation, following the example of his 'boss', declares that this or that part of RA belongs to the enemy.
One of the country's top officials directly declares to the enemy that our army is standing on the territory of Azerbaijan, and the latter can easily enter and capture hundreds of Armenian border guards. This is who actually makes calls for war and provokes war.
P.S. No need to search. These people are in Tavush and are waiting for him," Danielyan wrote on the social network.
Earlier, at a meeting with the residents of Voskepar village in Tavush, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan warned that a war would break out if the Armenian side refused to transfer 4 villages to Baku. The topic of delimitation of the border with Azerbaijan and territorial concessions was reopened again after the office of Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev stated on March 9 that within the framework of the process of delimitation and demarcation of the border with Armenia, "issues of the liberation of 4 exclave villages" should be resolved.
