"We are not the author of this model of patriotism, and this is the time to confess," Nikol Pashinyan (VIDEO)
RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has stated that Armenia has yet to succeed in creating a school of the historiography of a sovereign state. A significant part of the historiographical content is limited in the mold of Soviet historiography, "which, in a certain sense, is consistent with the non-existence of an independent Armenian state and, even, contrary to the concept of sovereignty."
According to Pashinyan, it is not about wrong historical facts but the perspective of looking at those facts, the conclusions, and the consequences arising from them. The Prime Minister gave an example of the problem of the patriotism model of Armenians, "Armenia and Armenian statehood have never been the primary object of our traditional model of patriotism, and at the socio-psychological level, this situation is preserved even today. There is only one reason: we are not the author of that model of patriotism, and this is the time to admit it. We are co-authors at most and most likely consumers. And so, what I said refers to the need to create our state model of real patriotism. I record that there is such an issue on the agenda, the solution of which is a vital necessity, a matter of national security."
