This movement is exceptional in the last 30 years of Armenia’s history and, in fact, is the second Karabakh movement. Saghatelyan
At a press conference, Ishkhan Saghatelyan presented what successes the opposition movement has achieved during this period։ “I want to clearly record some important achievements that we have recorded։
The movement has suspended the process of lowering the bar by the Armenian side in the issue of Artsakh: this is already a fact.
Secondly, the movement has created a real political crisis, including for our international partners, at least at the moment, the question of Nikol Pashinyan’s legitimacy becomes obvious.
Thirdly, the movement proved that the Armenian people will not accept the concessions imposed on them, and Nikol Pashinyan has no mandate for new concessions.
And fourthly, the movement made it obvious that there is a demand formed in society for the removal of these authorities.”
According to Saghatelyan, this movement over the past 30 years in the independent history of Armenia is unique in its scope, size, popularity and, in fact, is the second Karabakh movement. When asked what kind of Armenia a citizen will have after the opposition comes to power and what the opposition as a whole will bring, Ishkhan Saghatelyan replied: “This government promised love, solidarity, but brought hatred and division, promised investment, but there is no investment, people live worse – this is an obvious fact. They promised security, well-being, and promised that no decisions would be made on the issue of Artsakh without the people: here, too, they completely failed. They promised democracy, freedom of speech, but you see what is happening in Armenia.” According to Saghatelyan, people were deceived in all directions and spheres. Saghatelyan noted that all the promises that were made to society and were not fulfilled in 2018, the opposition will fulfill all those promises.
Ishkhan Saghatelyan touched upon Edmon Marukyan’s publication of 6 points of the peace treaty with Azerbaijan․
“Can Nikol Pashinyan and Edmon Marukyan state that “Artsakh can never be part of Azerbaijan, and they don’t see a solution this way”: why don’t they say this sentence? The policy of the authorities is very clear: Artsakh will remain part of Azerbaijan with broad guarantees of security and human rights, after which they will talk about the status.”
