Armenian parliament speaker criticizes "divisive” remarks
“If we cannot avoid dividing political forces by color, we should limit that division to political competition. Artsakh and Armenia have only one definition color-wise - the Armenian tricolor. This concerns all political forces equally.
Dear friends, the tricolor is common for us all, the same as the security and the future of Artsakh and Armenia. Therefore, I urge everyone to unite behind a single position on the Artsakh issue and remove the topic or the name of Artsakh from pre-election speeches and debate vocabulary by gentlemen’s agreement,” said Babloyan.
He also addressed the people of Artsakh, saying:
“I ask you to refrain from stirring emotions during the pre-election period and responding to certain statements that are most likely a result of poor expression of thought. As I have mentioned, the security and prosperous future of Artsakh and Armenia are the common goal for all of us.”
