“The elites of Armenia and Karabakh have kept the people of Karabakh hostage.”
Yesterday, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan expressed such a view during the NA-government question-and-answer session.
This is reminiscent of the statement of the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, which he made on July 21, 2023, during his speech during the Shushi Global Media Forum, when he noted:
“Currently, the issue of reintegration depends on when the Armenian residents of Karabakh will be able to get rid of the junta that took them hostage and exploited them as slaves.”
Pashinyan does not even try to change the form, but repeats Aliyev’s thoughts with the same tone. Are there still people for whom it is not clear that the current administration of RA began to be managed directly from Azerbaijan?
