The statement of the “My Step” faction of the RA NA:
“Bowing our heads before the glorious memory of the soldiers, volunteers and people who took part in the Artsakh war,
Sharing the grief of the families, friends and relatives of the victims with deep sorrow,
Taking into account the internal political events following the ceasefire in Armenia, the war in Artsakh and the ceasefire:
The “My Step” faction of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia announces:
– The current analysis of hostilities shows that the Armenian people have fought together not only against Azerbaijan, but also against one of the world’s largest armed forces, state-of-the-art weapons, and an army with unlimited human resources, mercenary terrorists and special forces recruited from different countries.
– During the forty-five-day war, special heroism was registered along the entire frontline, thanks to which it was possible to prevent the genocidal crime of the enemy against the Armenians, unleashed.
– The whole pan-Armenian potential took part in the rear support of the army in the hostilities,
– We note that the hostilities coincided with major geopolitical developments due to security challenges, which thwarted all international efforts to establish a ceasefire, including the repeated attempts of the three OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs.
– Accepting the conditions announced in the current historical and political situation was the only way to avoid the complete loss of Artsakh and thousands of human victims.
The “My Step” faction is sure that the public should get the answers to all the questions that concern it. At the same time, the faction is not going to take part in any session aimed at disrupting stability in Armenia, endangering the military front and the lives of the people who hold it.
At the same time, before discussing the legitimacy of the well-known statement on ending the Karabakh war, we suggest that the opposition state very clearly to all Armenians and the world that they:
- They are in favor of the cancellation of the Russian mediation,
- They are in favor of the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from the line of contact,
- They are in favor of the continuation of the war.
After making this statement, the opposition forces must also present the proposed roadmap for victory in the resumed war.”
