Gurgen Yeghiazaryan, a former deputy head of the National Security Service, welcomes the return of Samvel Babayan, a former defense minister of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. “As an Armenian soldier, he returned at the right moment and I hope that he will be offered a appropriate position because we are on the verge of a new war,” Mr Yeghiazaryan told reporters on Monday. Lernik Alexanyan, a lawmaker representing the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) faction, expressed hope that Babayan’s return has ‘purely patriotic motives.’ “I want to believe that he has returned to unite our people and solve issues related to Artsakh.” Speaking about the Vienna-hosted meeting of the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Mr Yeghiazaryan said ‘judging by the incoherent and incomprehensible statements the Armenian side made after the meeting we had bad results there.’ “Matthew Bryza, who is not a diplomat, but a defender of the interests of Azerbaijan, announced that there will be a referendum in the autumn. This means that the Madrid Principles are in still in force.” Mr Yeghiazaryan added that deterioration of Armenian-Russian relations is beneficial to certain forces and Armenians will learn about it after September.
