Serzh Sargsyan, in his interview, blamed the current authorities for the defeat in the Artsakh issue, saying that what happened in the spring of 2018 was, in its essence, an anti-Karabakh movement.

Serzh Sargsyan also addressed the topic of recognizing Artsakh’s independence. He notes that it is incomprehensible why the authorities did not do so during the war days, as the previous reason that it would derail the negotiation process no longer existed.
