Speaker of the Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) Eduard Sharmazanov
views today's statement by Vardan Oskanyan as words of a former
state official. In his statement, Vardan Oskanyan said there were
discrepancies in Serzh Sargsyan's speech in Strasbourg of which three
need to be corrected.
"It's not the first time former Armenian officials criticize their
successors. That is a very bad practice. Unlike them, Serzh Sargsyan
appreciates the role of former government officials. As for Mr.
Oskanyan, I recalled the words by French diplomat Taleyran when he
said "there is no split crueler than a split from the authorities". I
don't think it is right to speculate before the meeting in Kazan," Mr.
Sharmazanov told "A1+".
Eduard Sharmazanov considers the allegations fired at Serzh Sargsyan
before the meeting in Kazan unsubstantiated. "Karabakh doesn't need
protection from Serzh Sargsyan. Serzh Sargsyan is one of the people
realizing the wishes of Armenians in Armenia, the NKR and around the
world, not to mention Commander-in-Chief."
One of the wishes of all Armenians is to see resettlement in the
liberated territories and liberation of the historical homeland,
but today Serzh Sargsyan is speaking about mutual concessions. What
would you say about that? In response, Mr. Sharmazanov said:
"All Armenians know very well that any conflict, including the NK
conflict is solved through normal, constructive mutual concessions.
We're not talking about one-sided concessions, but mutual concessions."
Going back to Vardan Oskanyan's allegations, Sharmazanov mentioned
that any Armenian president or foreign minister, including Mr.
Oskanyan can't dispute Azerbaijan's territorial integrity.
"But we should make one thing clear-the dispute between Azerbaijan and
Karabakh is not a dispute over territories, but the self-determination
of nations."
Sharmazanov says Vardan Oskanyan speculates when he says Serzh
Sargsyan didn't present the reason why Armenia only accepts a peaceful
settlement of the NK conflict the right way.
"Unlike Azerbaijan, which is building a militarist country, Armenia
is building a democratic country. The people of Karabakh have already
won once and unlike Azerbaijan, which advocates war, Karabakh will
win again if necessary."
Eduard Sharmazanov is more than sure that Serzh Sargsyan will not
sign any document that is against Armenia's national interests in
Kazan or throughout the NK conflict process, for that matter.
"Serzh Sargsyan and many people standing beside him received their
political blessing during the Artsakh war."
