Armenia is going to cede four more villages to Azerbaijan - MP

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.
