Pashinyan: There is no Armenia army in Karabakh
The President of Azerbaijan himself broke the agreement reached in Brussels in December 2021, according to which a simultaneous withdrawal of troops was to be carried out in the most dangerous areas. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this at Thursday’s Cabinet meeting of the Armenian government—and referring to the statements made by Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev on Tuesday.
“And why is it acting this way, why does Azerbaijan bring the process to a dead end every time? to continue his aggressive policy of genocide. The President of Azerbaijan accuses Armenia of having an army in Nagorno-Karabakh as part of the preparations for the genocide of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh.
First of all, I must record that the Republic of Armenia does not have an army in Nagorno-Karabakh, and Azerbaijan itself rejected the offer to send an observation mission to Nagorno-Karabakh to clarify this issue, which I made on October 6 of this year in Prague.
There is no army of Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh, there is the Defense Army of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is perhaps a serious obstacle to implementing the genocidal policy. My perception is that the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh have an army only and only because of the danger of being subjected to genocide,” the Armenian PM added.
