Nikol Pashinyan: Robert Abajyan and other are victorious heroes
“Robert Abajyan, posthumously awarded with "Hero of Artsakh" and his friends are not heroes who have lost but victorious heroes. I do not want us to downgrade in any way the heroism of the guys who not only repelled the Azerbaijani offensive but also a big geopolitical plot against the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and Armenia,” Opposition MP Nikol Pashinyan told at “R-Evolution” political talk show hosted by Armenia TV on May 29.
Pashinyan spoke of the speculations over the lost few hectares, saying the victory of our heroes should not be overshadowed by that loss.
“The four-day war served a lesson for bitter conclusions – corruption, organizational issues among them. However, the main conclusion is the following: That is an opportunity for us to overcome the victim complex. We have statehood and army - albeit not ideal but with an opportunity in our hands to improve it.
Serzh Sargsyan is well aware that the war was not initiated by Ilham Aliyev himself, rather a geopolitical plot worked, and Russia, the US, the European Union and Turkey played a role in it. That is to say our main challenge is to retaliate not only against Azerbaijan, but also the geopolitical centers which provoked the four-day war,” Pashinyan stressed.
