“Is there a war in Armenia that I am unaware of?” – Pashinyan

Aysor, Armenia

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stressed that the statement by former Human Rights Defender Arman Tatoyan that Azerbaijani forces have established a new combat position inside Armenian territory near the village of Kut does not correspond to reality.

“There is a clear map, there is a clear border line with de jure significance, which shows that contradicts those allegations,” he said in a conversation with reporters.

Pashinyan asked a question:

“Is there a war I am unaware of?”

“Or is there some kind of conflict or escalation, with victims and wounded, and you are not telling me about it – are you sparing me? Where is the war, where are the wounded, where is the shooting, where are the victims, where is the attack or explosion? Explain it to us, let us know where all of that is happening,” he said. 

The prime minister insisted that there is peace in Armenia.

Pashinyan also addressed meetings with relatives of missing persons, noting that he has met with them dozens of times and that experience shows it is important to clearly understand the purpose and expected outcome of such meetings.

“I never avoid meetings. I go out into the streets to meet people. But the goal, effectiveness, and agenda of a meeting must be clear,” Pashinyan added.
