The goal of Pashinyan's whole life is revenge, it does not bring him good, Robert Kocharyan said during a meeting with his supporters. "There is a layer in Armenia, among which I am a person who does not forgive people. If you fixate on revenge, you have a problem. In that case, you should not engage in any public affairs, not think about the future and focus on settling scores with people who have wronged or betrayed you in the past. This is not a good thing, especially for the first person of the country," said the second president.

LAP President Edmon Marukyan writes on Facebook: Then don't say we were sleeping in the donkey's ear and didn't know... The President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, in his address to the participants of the "Cultural Heritage and the Right of Return" international conference held in Baku, again referred to the topic of the return of forcibly displaced Azerbaijanis from "West Azerbaijan", accusing Armenia of destroying the cultural heritage of Azerbaijanis in those areas. He insisted that it is necessary to make an international legal assessment of "crimes committed by Armenians against Azerbaijanis" and called on the international community to support this process. The head of Azerbaijan emphasized the realization of the right of return of Azerbaijanis displaced from Armenia, referring to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, international covenants and conventions. Dear compatriots, today the President of Azerbaijan once again warned us not to suddenly, as the people say, "fall into an archaic state". The topic of Western Azerbaijan is not closed, and they will return to Armenia. This is not the first time that Aliyev has said this. we have been familiar with those thoughts for a long time, and the RA authorities constantly urge us not to pay attention to them. According to them, these messages are intended for the internal audience. It turns out that it is for those people who, according to Aliyev, should "return". Just try to remember if something happened during these 5 years that Aliyev announced and then it did not become reality. Dear compatriots, I am sure that it is possible to disrupt Aliyev's plans, but for that we must first prevent Nikol Pashinyan from being re-elected. And only then will Aliyev's words begin to come true. So, either we all fight together to have a sovereign Armenia, or our motherland is Azeriized...
