We Cannot Ensure Our Security Without Shaking the Hand Extended by the U.S. - Sefilyan

What was the reason for the situation that has arisen in Syunik? In response to the question, Jirair Sefilyan stated: “The main reason is that for so long we, as a people and a state, have not considered ourselves the legal successor of the First Republic of Armenia and thus have not pursued an appropriate foreign policy. As a result, this humiliation will continue. The main mistake that occurred in the 90s was the failure to declare ourselves the legal successor of Soviet Armenia, the fruits of which we are reaping today.

We cannot ensure our security without shaking the hand extended by the U.S. The recognition of the genocide was not only a humanitarian or moral step; it was a clear geopolitical move that we will try to explain to our people,” Sefilyan stated.
