Aramais Aghabekyan, a member of the Artsakh National Assembly, has accused the Armenian government of deliberately creating conditions that force Artsakh residents to emigrate, stating, "They have abandoned Artsakh; now they are abandoning Artsakh Armenians."

Official statistics indicate that 14,000 to 15,000 Artsakh Armenians have left Armenia, representing over 10% of the displaced population. Additionally, 12,000 military personnel, including National Security Service staff, soldiers, officers, and Ministry of Internal Affairs employees, have relocated to Armenia.

Aghabekyan highlighted that proposals to integrate these experienced individuals into relevant sectors based on their professions and units were rejected by the authorities. He emphasized the need for political resistance against the current government to address these issues.

He also expressed skepticism about the government's willingness to address the demands of Artsakh Armenians, citing insider information that no changes to social support programs are planned. Regarding legal rights, he noted that discussions are ongoing about withdrawing certain claims without specifying which ones.

When asked about potential actions, Aghabekyan suggested that mobilizing 3,000 citizens could impede the implementation of government plans. He stressed the importance of broader public support, warning that the current treatment of Artsakh Armenians could set a precedent for similar actions against other Armenian citizens. He also raised concerns about potential future demographic changes, mentioning discussions about the possible arrival of 300,000 Azerbaijanis with more rights than current residents.

On March 29, the Artsakh Rights Protection Council submitted a petition to the Armenian government. On April 3, the council announced an upcoming meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Khachatryan to discuss their demands.
