The elections held in the Artsakh Republic throughout its history are incomparable in terms of democracy with those held Azerbaijan and come to demonstrate the existence of different realities in the two countries, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated on Saturday at the third joint meeting of the Security Councils of the Republic of Armenia and Artsakh Republic.
“This circumstance comes to prove that Artsakh and Azerbaijan cannot exist in a common political area in any case as the level of democracy in Artsakh from over 3, 5, or 10 years on has been well ahead of the democracy in the neighboring country. This is not only an irreversible reality but I am confident, will be vividly illustrated once again during the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections in Artsakh,” Pashinyan said.
Speaking of the geopolitical reality in the region, Pashinyan noted that they are responsible not only for the security of the Republic of Armenia and Artsakh but for the wider regional and global security.
“I am happy to state that Armenia and Artsakh share this approach, and our mission and responsibility are to ensure our national security, the regional security and contribute to the global security. This remains an important agenda issue for us and one of the topics of our bilateral cooperation,” Pashinyan said.
