Simonyan: 'Critics of the Alma-Ata Declaration and the Prague Agreement Speak of the Loss of Sovereignty'

The President of the National Assembly, Alen Simonyan, delivered a special speech during the announcements hour, responding to the statements made by Tigran Abrahamyan, the secretary of the 'Honorary' faction.

“I would like Mr. Abrahamyan to start that history from a different point, for example, from October 27, 1999, when Serzh Sargsyan was the head of the National Security Service, and a crime occurred that decapitated Armenia, while Serzh Sargsyan was mysteriously not in the hall at that moment. Then came March 1, 2008, when citizens of Armenia and police officers were shot, then the weapons of the 80s, and in 2018, Serzh said, 'Nikol was right, I was wrong,' then a representative of the Republican faction said, 'They took Artsakh; next is Armenia,'” said Simonyan.

He noted that every citizen who criticizes the Alma-Ata Declaration of 1991 and the Prague Agreement will speak of the loss of Armenia’s sovereignty. He emphasized that Armenia became independent precisely based on that document in 1991.

Simonyan also referred to the recent verbal dispute between him and Anna Mkrtchyan, a deputy from the 'Honorary' faction in the National Assembly. “From my position, I cannot respond much, especially since there is a saying that God turns away from the wicked, so I will not continue,” he stated.
