Armenian Times. «When Samvel Karapetyan states that we are waiting for a trigger to take action, his hope and goal is precisely that at some point the Armenia-Azerbaijan relations may suddenly escalate, there may be some minor incident at the border, and using all of that, they will take to the streets and rally the people around them, hoping that they will achieve a change of power»:
This was stated by Taron Chakhoyan, a member of the "Civil Contract" faction, during a conversation with journalists in the National Assembly.
«There will be no such thing; this peace will endure, and their hopes that one day this peace may be undermined will remain in their stomachs», he said.
Referring to Azerbaijan's demand to change the Constitution, Chakhoyan said that the change of the Constitution is primarily necessary for Armenia.
«The change of the Constitution must ensure the durability of peace. They have made a fuss, saying that there is no reference to the Declaration of Independence in the new Constitution; why is that? It is not there for a simple reason: the page of the Karabakh movement is de facto closed in Armenia, but de jure it is not yet closed. We need to close it first because by doing so, we will ensure the durability of peace», Chakhoyan said.
