I state the fact that today the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) are leading a very dangerous policy, at least in terms of domestic and foreign policies. This is what National Hero of Artsakh Vitaly Balasanyan told reporters at Yerablur Military Pantheon today.

“This concerns the social situation in Armenia and all the failures in the sectors of education, church, security and more. I don’t see anything positive,” he said.

Touching upon the statement by President of Artsakh Arayik Haroutyunyan that the incumbent authorities won’t meet with political forces that have a position that is different from the position of the incumbent authorities on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Balasanyan said if he was President, he wouldn’t make such a statement.

Balasanyan stated that Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan should resign voluntarily, not wait for protests.

Asked if he is preparing to meet with Armenia’s political leadership, Balasanyan said he will gladly meet with all political officials, starting from Nikol Pashinyan.
