Let [Armenian PM Nikol] Pashinyan swear on [Azerbaijani president Ilham] Aliyev that he will not resettle 300 thousand Azerbaijanis in Armenia. Strong Armenia bloc’s prime ministerial candidate, businessman and philanthropist Samvel Karapetyan, who is under house arrest, stated this during a meeting with a group of media editors Friday.

“They [i.e. the incumbent Armenian authorities] are putting pressure on the weak; it all starts from here. The attack on the state occurs when they see that the head of that state is pursuing the wrong policy, that he is a coward and a liar. This [i.e. Pashinyan] has proven three times that he brings war, that he is a coward, that he is strong only on the bus, but he is powerless everywhere else. He has ruined relations with the main allies [of Armenia], there is nowhere to expect help. And can we afford to fight against everyone? He is a little liar, he lies to everyone—to the people, it is time for the [Armenian] people to understand this. He brings evil to the country. In the future, the settlement of 300 thousand Azerbaijanis [in Armenia],” Karapetyan noted.

Regarding the remark that this morning Pashinyan announced guarantees that this would not happen, Karapetyan asked what exactly Pashinyan can guarantee.

“Let [him] swear on Aliyev that he guarantees. I even agree, let him swear on [Azerbaijani army officer Ramil] Safarov [who had brutally killed Armenian army officer Gurgen Margaryan with an axe]. He [i.e. Pashinyan] was guaranteeing Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)]; we saw what happened with Artsakh. He was shouting, then he abandoned Artsakh. After [the] 2020 [Artsakh way], Armenia’s authorities do not participate in any decision regarding Armenia and Artsakh. They have a leader, whatever he decides, it will be implemented. They are just a tool in the work of expelling Armenians from the country,” Samvel Karapetyan said.
