The actions of the authorities of Armenia initially “contributed to the blocking of the Lachinsky road,” and the scandalous statements of the Secretary of the Council of Ministers only aggravated the situation, the Armenian oppositionist, ex-Prime Minister of Armenia Grant Bagratyan.
According to him, Armenia pledged to provide Azerbaijan with a transit road, which would connect Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan. At the same time, the transit road, in accordance with the document, suggested the unhindered movement of citizens and persons in both directions under the control of the Russian side, he said. “In essence, this road, he believes, is a corridor, although such a term is not used in the document,” Bagratyan said.
Bagratyan noted that the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan is well aware of this fact, and therefore “flirts with the West” in order to avoid such a development of events: “However, the West made it clear that it would not intervene in such agreements, as well as Armenia will not direct military assistance. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan, in order to provide pressure on Armenia, blocked the Lachin corridor, although Russia works in the direction of opening the corridor, but, seeing the flirting of the Armenia with the West, is not in a hurry. “Well, in the like The situation turns out that in fact, the corridor was blocked by Nicola himself, right? “He said.
As Bagratyan said, the scandalous statements of the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armenia Grigoryan “aggravated the situation even more, removing the prospects for the opening of the Lachin road”.
“in such a situation, Russia is even profitable to open the corridor through Syunik, since it is the Russian side that will control it. It can be avoided in two ways: either entering the Union state, then all of Armenia will be under the control of the Russian Federation, or change power, leading to Managing the state of people who are able to act in accordance with the spirit of allied relations, ”Bagratyans believes.
He also stated that sooner or later the Lachinsky road will go under the full control of Azerbaijan: “Yes, there will be Russian peacekeepers, but the Azerbaijani side will have the right to check the goods and documents of citizens,” he said, adding that since Armenia is not He fulfills obligations according to the 9th point, then “and Azerbaijan will not allow the corridor in the logic that was implied by a tripartite statement.”
