ArmInfo. The Armenian authorities are preparing to transfer four more villages to
Azerbaijan, opposition Armenian MP Tigran Abrahamyan wrote on his
Facebook page.
According to him, Pashinyan's visit to the Syunik region of the
country, which will likely be followed by visits to other regions, is
aimed at preparing the republic for a referendum on this issue. "The
fact is that, according to the agreement reached with Azerbaijan, the
RA government is going to transfer 4 more villages to Azerbaijan -
Tigranashen in the Ararat region and the villages of Sofulu,
Barkhudarlu and Verin Voskepar in Tavush. Considering that, according
to the legislation of the RA, these villages are part of the
country's territory, their the transfer can only occur through a
referendum," the parliamentarian noted.
He added that if in the previous case the government managed to
"squeeze out" its position, then in this case serious problems will
arise. "I spoke about the transfer of these villages as a strategic
blow to Armenia and will continue to do so, but the fact is that the
government considers unilateral concessions solely from the point of
view of maintaining its power and for this it succumbed to
Azerbaijani blackmail," Abrahamyan emphasized.
