“We haven’t come here for clashes, our heroes are hungry there"

“If I was head of the country, I would definitely talk to the people”: Oskanian
19:45 Vartan Oskanian is still in Khorenatsi street. He announced that if he was the head of the country, he would definitely talk to the people.
19:15 Chairman of Consolidation Party, the NA lawmaker Vartan Oskanian has come to Khorenatsi street in order to prevent bloodshed, “I can see the political solution to this issue, but there must be will of the authorities,” says Oskanian, but refuses to explain how he imagines that solution, “I reject that it is a deadlock. There must be a political solution with legal consequences. There shouldn’t be a winner or a loser, there should be compromises more by the authorities so that the issue can be solved.”
Where are the authorities, asks Vartan Oskanian and adds, “Prime Minister said something, but he would rather hadn’t said. And if the authorities say that they won’t negotiate with terrorists, I have a question, so can they negotiate with Turks, who killed 1.5 million Armenians, with Azerbaijanis, who cut heads of our soldiers, but with these people, who liberated Karabakh, they cannot negotiate?”
After these words of Oskanian, the gathered applauded.
Vartan Oskanian also noted that he will try to solve the issue of food of the gunmen.
Together with Oskanian member of Consolidation Party Andranik Margaryan has come to Khorenatsi Street. He noted that we shouldn’t look for the guilty and the innocent, the opposition and the authorities, “The current situation of the country is to blame, the lawless situation.”
