Baku /17.10.19 / Turan: On 15 October, former "Secretary of the Security Council of Karabakh" Vitaly Balasanyan held a press conference, where he again fell upon serious charges against official Yerevan.
According to the Armenian media, Balasanyan openly accused Pashinyan of conducting the "anti-Karabakh program" of the program, saying that Pashinyan was going to "hand over the land", ruin the Armenian-Russian relations, bring US troops to the border with Iran, and thus ruin the Armenian-Iranian relations. All this leads to the death of Armenia, Balasanyan said.
Observers in Armenia assess Balasanyan"s actions as an open challenge to the Armenian government and expect Yerevan"s corresponding steps in connection with Balasanyan"s statements.
In any case, what is happening testifies to an open confrontation between the Karabakh and Yerevan elites. -02D-
