Arman Tatoyan, in a post on his Facebook page, warns of the growing demands made by Azerbaijan following the end of the ‘negotiations’ on the so-called ‘peace agreement’. He describes a series of demands from various figures backed by the Azerbaijani government, including :
The Armenian government must guarantee the return of ‘Western Azerbaijanis’ and their unhindered entry into and exit from Armenia.
- The opening of the so-called ‘Zangezur corridor’ as it was in 2021. In November, at a press conference with the Turkish President, the Azerbaijani President announced that the ‘Zangezur corridor’ would link the whole of the Turkish world.
- Amendment of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia in line with Azerbaijan’s demands.
- Armenia must pay reparations to Azerbaijan.
- Armenia should take the initiative to dissolve the OSCE Minsk Group.
- Armenia must be demilitarised and weapons purchased must be handed in or returned.
- The glorification of the victory in the First Artsakh War and of the participants in the war must cease in Armenia.
All structures and organisations in Armenia engaged in the dissemination of national values should be closed down.
- According to Azerbaijani government propaganda, ‘these are the problems that must be resolved outside and before the signing of the “peace agreement”.
So, apart from the fact that the Armenian government is keeping these issues of vital importance to its own people secret, it is hiding all this out of fanaticism in order to stay in power, creating the impression that it is in control of the situation and that this agreement is in Armenia’s interests, in the clear knowledge that this is not the case.
