Original research notes
The crucial isolation sentence appears in the original full interview immediately after the return-conditions answer (lines 93–95). It was absent from several search excerpts. The speaker says resistance should be impossible and those obstructing should be isolated as an example to others; the next sentence says Armenian laws should regulate this. He also promises to intensify advocacy in all forums, which alone is not a military threat.
