We called Arshak Karapetyan to find out what it is about. "Besides the willingness to make continuous concessions, besides the continuation of everything mentioned in the decision of the Tribunal, the latest crime committed by Nikol Pashinyan is that he insulted our Constitution, our Declaration of Independence.
Is it possible to imagine another country whose leader would express himself in such a way about the basic law of his country, the Declaration that is the basis of his country? Perhaps it is not possible," said Arshak Karapetyan, referring to Nikol Pashinyan's statements in particular The declaration of independence, the content is about the fact that the Republic of Armenia cannot exist." The other issue, according to Arshak Karapetyan, concerns corruption.
In the conversation with us, the general mentioned that there is a lot of corruption in Armenia. "According to our information, it is Nikol Pashinyan who is at the head of this corruption. Moreover, we have information that there are people arrested in connection with this. Now we have to verify all the information we will make the facts public."
The third one refers to the army, specifically referring to the fact that Nikol Pashinyan recently made such a statement. "I advise you to stop the approach of consecrating the army, because it is the biggest mistake we all made during the 3rd Republic." Arshak Karapetyan says that this is a dangerous statement aimed at the future.
"I am now appealing to all the officers and generals, I am sure that they also understand that this man is preparing the ground so that in the future he will say: we don't need an army. And when he hands over new territories, he will appoint officers and generals again and won't even notice Tarti," says the former Minister of Defense, adding at the same time. "If, of course, he makes it."
According to the general, these authorities should leave as soon as possible. "The longer they stay in power, the harder it will be not only for the country, but also for themselves when they have already left their seats."
