Now the question is whether the world will allow emergence of new Hitler: Armenia’s PM

Now the question is whether the world will allow the emergence of a new Hitler in Asia Minor, Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said, addressing the people.

He stressed that war against Artsakh was not unexpected for Armenia.

“The war against Artsakh did not come as something unexpected for us. We were prepared and only wondered when and from where the enemy was going to attack. Artsakh’s Defense Army has been waging a heroic battle since the outbreak of the hostilities. The Turkey-Azerbaijan-terrorist-mercenary military alliance launched the strongest-ever attack on Artsakh: tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, artillery, military planes, helicopters, drones, a huge number of combatants, including several thousand special troops from Turkey and reportedly from Pakistan, as well as mercenaries and terrorists from Syria,” Pashinyan said.

He stressed that during the first week the enemy did not have any strategic and territorial success.

“The adversary did not record any strategic or territorial gains during the first week, when it faced no supply and manpower restrictions whatsoever, while Artsakh and Armenia were operating in midst of a standing blockade. During this time, the adversary lost a huge amount of military hardware, suffered a large number of casualties, including mercenaries,” Pashinyan said.

“While each drop of Armenian blood hurts us all, not to mention the enormous number of victims we already have at the moment. In order to prevent further losses, we joined the process launched and the statement adopted in Moscow last Friday, which provided for a humanitarian ceasefire, full exchange of corpses, prisoners and detainees, return to the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing format with the logic of resolving the issue as soon as possible. However, Azerbaijan did not adhere to the ceasefire agreement for a second and carried on the attacks, simultaneously hindering the establishment of a ceasefire monitoring mechanism,” the PM said.
