As a result of Pashinyan’s concessions, Armenia will be run by Erdogan and Aliyev: Mourad Papazian

Nikol Pashinyan may once again give in to the demands and blackmail of Ilham Aliyev, president of Azerbaijan, and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, president of Turkey, thereby confronting the people of Armenia with the fact that they must submit to their policies. Mourad Papazian, co-chair of the Coordination Council of Armenian Organizations of France, made the statement in a conversation with Alpha News.

“This strategy of Pashinyan’s undermines the foundation of Armenian statehood and leads to the de facto loss of sovereignty. The message the government is sending is extremely dangerous: the initiative in governing passes definitively to Ankara and Baku, while the Armenian leadership is left only with the role of carrying out someone else’s will, forced to impose a foreign agenda on its own people,” he said.

Referring to the discussions about Armenia’s new constitution, Papazian said he was convinced that Pashinyan wants to meet Aliyev’s demands by adopting a new basic law.

“The desire for peace unites everyone unconditionally: no reasonable political force seeks confrontation with Turkey or Azerbaijan. However, true peace is not achieved through capitulation. If our goal is long-term and lasting security, the peace agreement must be based on the principle of justice and guarantee the unconditional protection of Armenia’s national interests,” he concluded.
