Concrete action implemented by already December 18 – Opposition faction deputy on statement disseminated on web

The statement relating to Artsakh and Syunik disseminated in Internet was signed secretly yet in December, member of Bright Armenia faction Taron Simonyan said at parliamentary briefing today.

“It appeared that it was signed secretly yet in December and regulated relations in the period till December 18,” the deputy said, stressing that they demand clear explanation from the authorities what this statement is about.

Simonyan stressed that the published document contains only text and there is no signature from the Armenian side.

“We do not know what force it has. Even if it is signed by the executive power it is not only an anti-state and anti-national document but also is deprived of any legal force and is signed with the violation of right. Only relations that are subject of international contract regulation may be regulated. According to our Constitution, such like documents must enter the CC, then NA for getting force and only after ratification be applied,” the opposition faction deputy said, adding that the mentioned facts testify that a concrete action has been implemented by already December 18.

Simonyan stressed that the mentioned provisions eliminate the state policy of Artsakh self-determination carried out for decades.
