The one who recognizes Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan declares that Azerbaijan’s goal is to withdraw Armenians from Artsakh

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at a government meeting today that he received reliable information that plans are being developed to open the Lachin corridor unilaterally, that is, to allow only the exit from Nagorno-Karabakh.

“I would like to remind you that even now there are numerous residents of Nagorno-Karabakh in Armenia who cannot return to Karabakh: about 5,000 of them cannot return as a result of the illegal blockade of the Lachin Corridor since December last year, and about 30,000 – as a result of non-compliance with the 7th provision of the tripartite statement of November 9, 2020.

Non-compliance with this provision and other facts constantly indicate that the main goal of Azerbaijan is to withdraw the Armenians of Karabakh from Nagorno-Karabakh through ethnic cleansing, whether it is famine, military operation or other means,” Pashinyan said.

In fact, the Prime Minister of Armenia, who has repeatedly declared recognition of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, including Nagorno-Karabakh, today declares that Azerbaijan’s goal is to withdraw Armenians from Artsakh by any means.

Nikol Pashinyan wants to give the impression that he is worried about the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, but it is obvious that after his recognition of Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan will retain the advantage.

It turns out that in October 2022 in Prague, Nikol Pashinyan, who for the first time recognized the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, gave carte blanche to Ilham Aliyev regarding the decision on the fate of Artsakh and the Armenians of Artsakh.
