Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that the turning point of 2023 and, in general, the recent history of RA was the ethnic cleansing and depopulation that took place in Nagorno-Karabakh.
He reminded us that in dozens of speeches from December 2022, he referred to the blocking of the Lachin Corridor, the upcoming ethnic cleansing, and the depopulation of Nagorno-Karabakh. "Exaggerated hopes towards the international community or de jure allies continuously bring us disastrous consequences. Unfortunately, in some circles in Nagorno-Karabakh, the realization is that the elected representatives of Nagorno-Karabakh must find solutions. Otherwise, no one can help. The international community actors can do 10, 20 %, and 30% of the work; the remaining 70% is for the subject to whom the problem refers, if that subject wants to be a subject. What happened in Nagorno-Karabakh was not actually about Nagorno-Karabakh, but another conspiracy to bring RA statehood to its knees," he said.
