Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is horrified by yesterday's parliamentary discussion on the Shaki village incident. He announced this at the October 8 briefing. Let's remind that yesterday, during the question-and-answer session with the government, many questions were asked to the Prime Minister regarding the Shaki incident. At the time of the incident, the Azerbaijani soldier, who had defected to the Armenian side under unknown circumstances, broke into a private house, took the children hostage, and wounded their mother by firing a rifle. Now the soldier is detained and an investigation is underway. Both yesterday and today, the Prime Minister accused the opposition of inadequately perceiving what happened. Moreover, Pashinyan made quite remarkable claims about Baku's position on the peace process. According to him, the difference between the negative statements from Armenia and Azerbaijan is that they are made by the opposition from here, and from there by the representatives of the government. From this, Pashinyan makes an unexpected conclusion. "In other words, should the authorities of Armenia make similar statements? If someone makes statements harmful to peace, should we do the same? Peace is a conquest and we must take care of it. We do not intend to belittle Shaki's incident, but the adequacy should not be lost. "I am horrified by yesterday's debate in the National Assembly," Pashinyan said. He repeated the idea voiced in the National Assembly that according to the logic of the opposition's assessments, what would be the consequences of the Armenian soldier crossing the border, and also spoke about the citizens' incomplete understanding of the real complexity of the border relief. to According to him, if we take the saboteur's version as a basis, it turns out that they "opened the doors and gave way" to him. Otherwise, the question arises: not only how he crossed our defense line, but also how he crossed Azerbaijan's defense line. If it is so, then the opposition cannot blame us, because the same situation is with them - the Prime Minister makes another unexpected conclusion, clearly blaming the responsibility of the Armenian "hole" border on the opponent's lack of vigilance. A. Pashinyan reminded about the fragility of peace, assured that no one intends to underestimate what happened, and went so far as to compare the incident with domestic crimes. "If someone is afraid, they can be afraid in Yerevan too," said the Prime Minister, referring to the cases of robberies and murders. "It is an ordinary cross-border criminal offense. There are other cases, for example, drug importation and transit. It is not necessary to make the end of the world out of what happened," Pashinyan continued. He emphasized again that the authorities will not make statements threatening the peace. "If others do it consciously... Once is an accident, but if it happens 3-4 times, it means that peace is being targeted." If we respond in the same way, we will endanger the peace and fulfill their purpose, by giving in to the provocation, we will solve their problem. Our goal is to institutionalize peace, which is many times more difficult than destroying peace," the prime minister said, referring to the rhetoric of the Azerbaijani authorities. The Prime Minister was reminded that he is much sharper when it comes to political opponents. In response, Pashinyan repeated that he gave his assessment of what happened and noted that the Azerbaijani soldier committed a crime. "He is detained, charged with a number of articles. There is no issue of extradition, and there is no such demand from Azerbaijan. "Azerbaijan itself initiated a criminal case," he noted. To clarify everything finally, the Prime Minister announced. the Azerbaijani soldier is a criminal. Robert Kocharyan is also a criminal. Gagik Tsarukyan is also a criminal. Samvel Karapetyan is also a criminal. Gagik Khachatryan is also a criminal. Are there any more questions? This is a political assessment, Pashinyan explained.
