If we are honest, the fragments of Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)] statehood are left. The second president of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, said this in an interview with several media outlets on Wednesday, when asked what the Armenian side now has in terms of Artsakh statehood and what dangers there are also in terms of Armenia’s statehood.

"Is it possible to save something? It is possible? Is it possible to do it with this mechanism and the same people? Definitely not. The whole state system must change in Artsakh. (…). It is necessary to change that system in a very pragmatic way; to do it with the parliament, and to create a system that will be able to deal with the defense issues of Artsakh. Today it is a disgracefully difficult situation. (…). It is not possible to keep even these fragments in this way and try to collect a unit from them that will simply face these challenges," he said.

Kocharyan added that at that time they had found a governance model. "It is just necessary to create a model of governance that is proper to the current situation. It is necessary to assess the situation and say, 'What do we need to solve these problems?' Now sit in the parliament, work out laws, adopt [them] for whom, if you cannot solve the simplest issues? We all need to get to that work (…). But what I see in Artsakh, I see that we are losing step by step, every day," Robert Kocharyan said.
