Armenia's three major opposition parties currently pushing for a change
of government in the country have signaled their strong support for
Nagorno-Karabakh in the wake of the recent downing of an Armenian
military helicopter by Azerbaijani forces.
In their joint statement issued on Thursday the Prosperous Armenia
Party, the Armenian National Congress and Heritage said "the brazen
provocation" was aimed at escalating military operations.
"This is an unprecedented fact since the ceasefire was established,"
the three parties known as 'Troika' said, reminding that different
countries and international organizations have issued warnings and
condemnations over this "dangerous and condemnable act".
"The three opposition parliamentary forces state once again that,
regardless of the domestic political problems, in the event of external
danger they will unconditionally stand at the defenses of the security
of Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia."
The Troika offered condolences to the families and friends of the three
crewmen of the Mi -24 helicopter that was shot down by Azerbaijani
troops while operating a training flight in Karabakh on November 12.
