The famous Armenian political scientist, chairman of the Political Council of the Democratic Alternative party Surenants agrees with the first president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan, who called for Nikola Pashinyan to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan, “since the country has no other exit.”
According to the Surenian, “the alternative to the world is only a war, and this will mean the loss of new territories for today’s Armenia,” reports Haqqin.az with reference to Armtimes.
“In the near future, Armenia await painful and severe concessions,” says the expert. “The first president of rights: no matter what agreements are signed with Azerbaijan and Turkey, they will be painful. Whoever is the leader of Armenia, he will not be able to abandon the status quo that has developed after November 9. We must try to make external risks managed in internal cohesion. “
Surenants emphasizes that opposition parties do not want to follow a peaceful path, but they do not offer alternatives. After all, the only alternative to the world is a new war.
“I do not understand the behavior of a parliamentary opposition, because they do not offer alternatives to an existing situation. Today, after a severe defeat in a 44-day war, Armenia has no possibilities for self-defense to be able to neutralize external challenges. If we do not go to World, we will pay at a very high price, losing territories and young lives.
Our government lacks political courage due to social resistance, but the fact is that the defeated state cannot sign an agreement on victory. In turn, the parliamentary opposition awaits the opportunity when the government sign an agreement to come to power on the ruins. “
The political scientist says that after 2001 it was obvious to him that Armenia should sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan and Turkey.
“I am sorry that we have not gone through this process, when we were still in a winning position. And now we are going to a peace agreement after a 44-day war. The peace process is necessary for us now. Normal security is a guarantee of Armenia’s security is a guarantee of the number one Relations with neighboring countries, ”Surenants concluded.
