Armenian politician calls on political forces to actively react to  premier s half-truths

ArmInfo. The head of the Enlightened Armenia party, former member of parliament, former ambassador-at-large Edmon Marukyan appealed to the political elites of Armenia to clearly express their position regarding Pashinyan's statement on refusing to revoke Armenia's signature on the Trilateral Agreement of November 9, 2020. 

"After Azerbaijan attacked Nagorno-Karabakh, occupied it and carried out ethnic cleansing, it became obvious that the Armenian government does not want to raise the Artsakh issue, avoiding any discussions related to this topic. Almost a year has passed since those events, and the current Prime Minister speaks about the country's readiness to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement. Thus, Armenia chose the worst option, not demanding the fulfillment of other points of the November 9 agreement, including the opening of the Lachin road, the Goris-Kapan road, the return of the Artsakh people to their homes with all their rights and adequate security. How can one make unilateral commitments without demanding the fulfillment of the obligations of other parties in turn?" Marukyan asked.

In this regard, the politician also recalled another case: on September 19, when Azerbaijan launched the so- called in Artsakh, point 4 of the agreement was through military arrest, so it is possible that point 9 can also be implemented in a similar way through the military seizure of the so- called , although for Armenia it is a road, and Azerbaijan will turn it into a corridor that violates the integrity and sovereignty of Armenia.  Therefore, Marukyan believes that today's Armenian narratives voiced by Pashinyan do not work, since they are made up of half-truths. In conclusion, he emphasized that the position of the authorities is clear, and the obligations announced by the Prime Minister will be fulfilled unilaterally. In this regard, Marukyan again addressed the political elites of Armenia, urging them to deal with "irrelevant" issues in order to avoid a new war. "This is an unpopular topic, but it is something that can save us from a new disaster if we deal with it now," Marukyan concluded.
