Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan referred to as on fellow Armenians to cease the pursuit of the restoration of “historic Armenia.”
“The path we are following has led us to a specific state with specific borders. This is not a defeat, but a great victory of our consciousness over our feelings,” Pashinyan mentioned whereas talking on the Armenian parliament within the nation’s capital Yerevan, in response to calls urging him to revanche the Karabakh area.
Last 12 months, Azerbaijan took full management of its internationally acknowledged territory of Karabakh, which had been below the occupation of Armenian forces since 1991. Many Armenians considered the give up of separatist forces as a defeat for his or her nation and referred to as for a revanche.
“A state ideology is being formed in Armenia, the core of which is the state, sovereignty and independence. This is a historic achievement for the citizens of Armenia,” Pashinyan mentioned, referring to those that need additional confrontation on the problem.
Pashinyan described a street being inbuilt Armenia’s Tavush area close to the border with Azerbaijan as “a path from historic Armenia to real,” implying that Yerevan has deserted any additional claims over Karabakh to pursue rapprochement with Azerbaijan.
Relations between Baku and Yerevan have remained tense since 1991, when the Armenian navy occupied Karabakh, a territory internationally acknowledged as a part of Azerbaijan, and 7 adjoining areas.
Most of the territory was liberated by Azerbaijan throughout a 44-day warfare within the fall of 2020, which ended after a Russian-brokered peace settlement that opened the door to normalization and the demarcation of their border.
Last September, Azerbaijan established full sovereignty in Karabakh following an “anti-terrorist operation” after which separatist forces within the area surrendered.
