Signing Another Concessional Document Will Be Seen Not as Betrayal, but as Salvation: Kocharian

What is happening today in various parts of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border is just a small part of the larger picture. This was stated by the second President of Armenia, Robert Kocharian, during an interview with three Armenian private television channels, in response to a question about the situation in Yeraskh.

“This is a logical continuation of everything that has happened with Armenia both during the war and in the post-war period. We have shown that we no longer have teeth, we do not have the opportunity to respond with dignity, and the country has no desire. And Azerbaijan will advance its agenda with such manifestations,” Kocharian noted.

According to him, there is an attempt to create a situation where the signing of another document could be perceived not as betrayal but as salvation. “After provocations of this kind, a situation is created where the danger of a new war becomes visible to the people, and the people easily digest the signing of another document, another concession,” Kocharian said, adding that this is a technology of planned defeat.

The second president did not rule out that preparations are being made for the signing of a peace agreement, which, according to him, cannot happen without recognition by Armenia of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. “This would mean crossing out the future of Armenia,” Kocharian stated.

It should be noted that Robert Kocharian's interview will be fully aired today at 21:00, but a portion of it has already been published online, particularly on the 'Армянская вендета' Telegram channel.
