Ruben Vardanyan, the former state minister of Artsakh, said in his address on the Independence Day of the Republic of Armenia that the theses that by handing over Artsakh, Armenia will get peace are false. He also said that Artsakh and the people of Artsakh need the authorities of Armenia not to make dangerous statements about the fate of Artsakh behind the backs of Artsakh Armenians.
“32 years after the declaration of the Republic of Artsakh, Artsakh is facing an ontological danger, and the Armenians of Artsakh are facing inhuman deprivations in order to have a dignified life and live in their own homeland.
Armenia is facing the same ontological danger, because the theses that by handing over Artsakh, Armenia will get peace are false. Yesterday’s provocation by Azerbaijan once again proves that Azerbaijan will not be satisfied with occupying Artsakh, their goals go much further. What does Artsakh and Artsakh Armenians need today? We need Armenia, all Armenians to support our struggle and resistance.” Vardanyan said in his address.
