VIDEO: "Who are you?" A journalist posed a question from an Artsakh resident

During Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's press conference, a journalist raised a question from Mikael Arakelyan, a participant in the 44-day war and a resident of Shushi, directed towards Pashinyan.

“You recognized Artsakh as an inseparable part of Azerbaijan, subjecting us to a blockade, a humanitarian crisis, where children are dying of hunger, and there is a danger of genocide for 120,000 Armenians in Artsakh. Don’t you feel responsible? Is your conscience not tormenting you? Can you demonstrate political will and resign, given that you have brought division to society, failed negotiations, war, disgraceful defeat, and the surrender of 80% of the fatherland? Now, the question is, who are you? An unsuccessful politician or a traitor? Do you not understand that we bend but do not break; we are unyielding like our mountains. Are you not afraid of suffering the fate of Melik Frangul’s?”

In response, Nikol Pashinyan stated: “Whether it is Artsakh or Nagorno-Karabakh, we constantly discuss international terminology, and one of the important points of November 9 was that the notion of Nagorno-Karabakh was fixed there. After that, the President of Azerbaijan started to claim that Nagorno-Karabakh does not exist, and miraculously, many people in the Armenian reality began to comply with that decree and stopped using the term Nagorno-Karabakh. Then we speak about international positions regarding the protection of the rights of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh and the international subjectivity of Nagorno-Karabakh.”
