The president of Artsakh must be the second person, defending
\nour right to decide our own future. MP Metaxe Hakobyan from the opposing
\nArtsakh NA Justice faction said this to ABC Media, referring to Artsakh
\nPresident Arayik Harutyunyan’s announcement about staging a sit-in.<\/p>\n
“It is the people, the opposition that can take such
\nmeasures, but never the president of the country, as the constitution confers
\ncertain powers on the president. It has already been mentioned that the
\npresident of the Republic of Artsakh has not exercised any of these powers
\nwithin the past three years. It was a defeatist attitude that the president
\nadopted. On the one hand, this was like a way of relinquishing power, but on
\nthe other hand, it was like a way of keeping his seat. When the country is
\nplaced in such a situation, instead of making statements, the president has to
\nexercise an iron will and do all in his power to find a way out of it. These
\nstatements will never produce any results. The world remains deaf to the voice
\nof 120,000 people and will remain deaf to the statements of the country’s
\npresident as well,” she said. <\/p>\n
This action would `be acceptable to the MP if it was taken
\nby an ordinary person and not the president of the Republic of Artsakh.
<\/p><\/p>\n
<\/p>“In addition, the actions and calls of recent days fail
\nto refer to the RA authorities, on whom the ultimate responsibility for all of
\nthis falls. I think even if the world sees the signals coming from here or
\ndecides to respond to them after all, these signals will never be perceived as
\nthe disagreement of the authorities of Artsakh over the policies pursued by the
\nArmenian authorities. Thus, the world will think that Artsakh also agrees on
\nthe policies adopted by the RA authorities. Above all, the president of the
\nRepublic of Artsakh had to turn to, urge and ask the RA authorities, but never
\navoid addressing them. It so happens that we turn to everyone, force everyone,
\nresent everyone, but the prime culprits, who are responsible for all of this,
\ngo unnoticed,” Artsakh NA MP said.<\/p>\n
<\/p><\/p>\n
<\/p>Hakobyan noted that many are the questions to which the
\npresident of Artsakh has to find solutions and answers.<\/p>\n
<\/p><\/p>\n
<\/p>“This is not a suitable time for him to join the people. He
\nshould have joined them during the past three years, when they demanded the RA
\nauthorities to take responsibility for their actions, when the NA went against
\nthe RA authorities on Oct. 30, presenting its demands to them. It was at that
\ntime, that the president of Artsakh should have joined the people. However, at
\nthis moment he had to do quite the reverse. When the people need a leader more
\nthan ever, the leader holds a sit-in in a tent, taking no action,” the MP
\nconcluded.<\/p>\n
