Goris-Kapan Highway Finally Given to Azerbaijan: Elinar Vardanyan

Elinar Vardanyan, a member of the 'Armenia' faction, wrote on her Facebook page: 'We are living in a kingdom of warped mirrors. 1. From the statement of the Security Council Secretary, it is clear that the Goris-Kapan highway has been definitively handed over to Azerbaijan, and that the latter will carry out border and customs control functions in that section, meaning customs checkpoints will be installed there. But lo and behold, the Security Council Secretary boldly declares that the Armenian side will also take corresponding steps, meaning that checkpoints conducting customs and border control functions will also be installed in that section of the road. By installing a customs checkpoint in our territory, Aliyev is once again tearing our country apart, and who the Security Council Secretary is setting up a customs checkpoint for, maybe he knows better. Just put another customs checkpoint at the Sayat Nova-Abovyan intersection; it will be just as 'targeted' and perhaps even more forceful, or as the Security Council Secretary says, a corresponding step. 2. In response to the statement made by Robert Kocharian during the rally on October 8, that we were left alone during the 44-day war, there was a complete diplomatic failure, and no country condemned the state that started the war, the former head of the government staff has yesterday rebutted that, for example, Cyprus condemned it. Does the head of the parliamentary committee on foreign relations really believe that Cyprus is the global player whose condemnation or non-condemnation would have been decisive for the war? Foreign relations are a bit more complex than DJ-ing, to make clear that what Kocharian referred to were the states that played a key role. The price of their non-condemnation was the lives of thousands of young people.'
