During a poll in Lori Province, one local resident said that people need to be prepared for a possible war: “War should always be feared, but we must be ready for it.”

According to another survey participant, under Robert Kocharyan, Armenia’s second president, Armenians did not lower their heads before the enemy. “Under Robert Kocharyan, Aliyev bowed his head, now we walk around with our heads down,” she said.

According to one of the respondents, if Nikol Pashinyan, the Prime Minister, continues his policy in the same vein, in a few years Armenia could suffer the fate of Artsakh, and the residents of Armenia could suffer the fate of the Artsakh Armenians.
