YEREVAN. – The war situation with Azerbaijan is resuming, whereas Armenia’s ally, Russia, does not manifest itself in any way.  

Opposition National Self-Determination Union (NSU) Chairman, ex-presidential candidate Paruyr Hayrikyan stated the aforesaid at a press conference on Saturday.

In the words of the NSU leader, Armenia is at an impasse. 

“If they [i.e., Russia] were saying that, ‘If fighting breaks out in Artsakh [i.e., Nagorno-Karabakh], we cannot take part,’ now, however, the fighting is with Armenia. It turns out that the [Russian] military base [in Armenia] basically does not serve its purpose,” Hayrikyan said, and added that this likewise creates an impasse.     

In his words, the situation is at an impasse also because if the war resumes and Russia partakes in it, Armenia will have an ally—Russia—whom the whole world hates.    

“The world will automatically sympathize with Azerbaijan; this is the other impasse,” Paruyr Hayrikyan concluded.
