"Sargsyan pledged to withdraw Armenian troops"
Jirayr Sefilyan, commander of the Shushi special military brigade and one of the founders of Sardarapat Initiative, thinks Serzh Sargsyan pledged to withdraw Armenian troops from the liberated territories during a recent meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Munich.
Only a few days before the meeting Azerbaijani Foreign Minister announced they would not resume negotiations unless the Armenian side removed the troops from the "occupied territories."
In fact, the Azerbaijani side didn't stop the talks after the Munich meeting which means Armenia gave pledges to them," Jirayr Sefilyan told A1+.
He thinks that in the talks Azerbaijan uses the method of blackmail against Armenia and dictates its will to us.
"We need not see a signed document to understand that the regime is going to surrender our lands. The point is that the Armenian side is losing day by day and it will be hard for us to regain the lost."
In reply to Azerbaijan's warlike announcements, Jirayr Sefilian said, "Azerbaijanis should realize that if they wage a war it will end with Azerbaijan's capitulation. Azerbaijan is deluded if it relies on our buffoon authorities and their myrmidon top brass since Armenians still preserve the potential they displayed in 1994.
Serzh Sargsyan realizes that he has taken treacherous steps and has appeared in an awkward situation. He knows that Armenians treat the liberated territories as a sanctuary and he is afraid of it.
On the other hand, Serzh Sargsyan has promised the international community to obey their orders. Today Mr. Sargsyan faces a dilemma for he cannot meet the demands of his people or foreigners. The only thing to do in the given situation is to resign office, I think."
