Tigran Abrahamyan: Territories, which are of major significance for Armenia in terms of security, are being ceded to Azerbaijan
This process, which is underway and is called border delimitation-demarcation, will bring neither security nor peace to the Republic of Armenia in the long term, Secretary of the NA With Honor Faction Tigran Abrahamyan told ABCmedia.
According to Abrahamyan, the process is against Armenian interests.
“Considering the fact that this is Azerbaijan’s demand and agenda, the Armenian authorities, as in the case of Artsakh, are trying to fully implement it. What they are trying to present as acts of ensuring the security of Armenia is quite the opposite: an increase in our vulnerability, a weakening of our defense system, which has manifested itself in our border incidents,” he noted.
Abrahamyan said that those who offer our compatriots of Voskepar, Kirants and Baghanis to live within such a close distance from the enemy and consider it a solution, let them come and live in such conditions.
“Can their children attend that school, which is located close to Azerbaijan? These authorities always contradict themselves. They say that no matter what they say, they cannot guarantee that we will have security. In other words, from the outset, the authorities got into a process where territories are being ceded unilaterally, practically having no guarantee of security,” the MP said.
According to Abrahamyan, they want to convince us that the Azerbaijanis have changed. “Just read the Azerbaijani press, books, and posts on Telegram channels, which talk about their claims on the territories of Armenia on a daily basis; they say that they do not care about the people living in Armenia, and that their main goal is to use the favorable conditions created by these authorities and to establish control over Armenia,” he noted.
Abrahamyan said that today, through Tavush, the enemy is putting in train the process of making Armenia vulnerable. “Both in terms of security and infrastructure, territories are being ceded to Azerbaijan, which is going to seriously affect Armenia. It is only at first glance that it seems a matter of several villages; all of this concerns every single person living in Armenia, who will be affected by this process at different stages,” Abrahamyan said.
