Former Presidents Have No Evidence or Argument: Sarkis Khandanyan

Chairman of the National Assembly's Foreign Relations Committee, Sarkis Khandanyan, has responded to the rejection of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's proposal for a debate on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by former presidents of Armenia. Pashinyan made a remark on this topic on his Facebook page.

“Logic suggests that if you are convinced about an issue and know that you are right, you should be inclined to communicate your knowledge and position. Now there is a public offer and an opportunity to talk about our country's most crucial and painful issue—the Nagorno-Karabakh negotiation process—and to unveil the truth or to oppose the public content. However, those who claim to control the negotiations at an 'expert' level are avoiding the conversation. The same logic suggests one thing: the thesis put forward by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is true, and it is obvious that the former presidents have no evidence or argument to prove otherwise,” he wrote.
