The Armenian people must renounce approaches that weaken it internally and increase tensions.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from Aram I, Catholicos of the Great Cilicia House. He said that Armenians should learn from the first republic (meaning the Republic of Armenia, established in 1918).

According to him, the goal of all Armenians should be to strengthen the "independence" of Nagorno-Karabakh:

"We have to be very careful. The conditions of the first republic - the epidemic, the economic crisis, external pressure and the surrounding enemies - are reminiscent of the current Armenian reality. Be careful. "
