ArmInfo. I appreciate the statement by the Armenian Defense Minister David Tonoyan about the implementation of the new formula "new war for new territories" very positively. The deputy of the National Assembly from the Enlightened Armenia faction Gevorg Gorgisyan stated this on April 3 in an interview with journalists.
"If we want peace, we must be ready for war. We cannot constantly defend ourselves, we need to approach this issue from a different point of view. Moreover, we all know that the best defense is an attack. Moreover, this in no way contradicts the negotiation process "On the contrary, it contributes to effective negotiation. Since any adversary, feeling weak, is trying to take advantage of it. We are not weak, this is the main message of the Minister of Defense," Gorgisyan stressed.The deputy also said that this statement does not contradict the fact that nations should prepare for peace. Moreover, according to the deputy, the people of Armenia are committed to peace, and we do not have xenophobia propaganda.
"We do not have the glorification of people who killed others. We do not need to prepare for peace. However, Azerbaijan should prepare for peace. In a country where xenophobia is being promoted, society cannot be ready for peace. So Aliyev should think about this" - concluded the deputy.Note that at a meeting with the Armenian community of New York, Armenian Defense Minister David Tonoyan, in particular, said: "The formula for the territory in exchange for peace" has changed. I reformulated it to the formula "new war for new territories", "the minister said . Recall that in the Yerablur memorial complex, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that if the Minister of Defense made a different statement, he would have dismissed him.
