Armen Khachatryan, deputy of the KP faction of the National Assembly, stated that the 102nd Russian military base in Armenia did not help when the country's territories were being occupied. "The military base exists; in any case, the drawing of the new security system of Armenia will make it clear how it will be in the future. That military base did nothing when the sovereign territories of Armenia were occupied."
He also noted that Armenia has never had such high subjectivity as it is now, "At that time, in the country of Maria Zakharova, they decided where Armenia should go, etc."
