Robert Kocharyan heads to Artsakh
Armenia’s second President Robert Kocharyan is leaving for Artsakh, head of the former president’s office Viktor Soghomonyan told Aysor.am.
Today, the enemy has again unleashed a war against Artsakh. With the explicit military and political support of Turkey, Azerbaijan tries to resolve the Karabakh conflict through military means," Kocharyan said in a statement on Monday.
"It is not time yet to speak of the reasons for such a cynical behavior by Azerbaijan. Our sacred duty is now to protect the motherland. All of us should consider ourselves as a soldier of the Defense Army, stay ready, united and once again, as it happened in 1992-94, destroy the enemy by a combined force. I am confident, the Armenian forces, unanimously backed by the world-spread Armenians are capable to protect the Republic of Artsakh and secure a victory" the former president added.
A court hearing in the case of an alleged overthrow of the constitutional order against Kocharyan and three other former senior officials was postponed on Tuesday because one of the defendants, former Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan, had headed to Artsakh.
