YEREVAN. – Now it seems that many colleagues sitting in this hall think that since everything is over [that is, the recent Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) war], we can all talk about security, conducting trade, developing economic relations in the region. Taron Simonyan, a member of the opposition Bright Armenia faction, said this in his address in the National Assembly Wednesday.

"It was Armenia, right, that assumed all the obstacles?," he asked, adding that in reality, Azerbaijan is a terrorist state, it commits war crimes, and its entire military and political leadership is a group of international criminals.

Simonyan noted that if he is not mistaken, only one of the members of the government of Armenia had recently gone to Artsakh, whereas Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan does not visit the capital Stepanakert to see what is happening there.

"Your behavior is unacceptable, dear government MPs and government; review your [respective] policy forthwith. Realize that there is no Armenia without Artsakh, there is no Artsakh without Armenia," the opposition MP emphasized.
