Davit Babayan: If this situation persists, people will starve to death

We have a plan of action to fight starvation in Artsakh.
Adviser to the President of Artsakh Davit Babayan said this to ABC Media.

“We have a plan of action. We just have to somehow
survive in this situation. The state of affairs is really grave and if the
situation persists, people will really starve to death,” Babayan noted.

Referring to the protests having been staged in Artsakh
since yesterday and the blocking of the entrance of the Russian peacekeepers’
military base, Babayan said, “I have noted many times that any protest,
especially political ones, must be state-organized, as after all, the
responsibility for any incident falls on the state. Thus, to avoid problems, we
must understand that it is the state that should organize protest actions. I
have always stated that people should shoulder personal responsibility for this
or that initiative. When people undertake an initiative and achieve a positive
result, they should be encouraged. However, when they come up with an
unfortunate result, they must take personal responsibility. We are not in a
situation where we can do whatever comes to our minds.”

In response to whether or not the protesters made that move
as the state does not take any actions, Babayan said: “I see, but when the
state organizes such protest actions, everything is much more clear. We have
plenty of problems.”
