Pashinyan speaks about  events leading up to signing of  Prague  Declaration and  recognition of Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan during the government hour in parliament on May 7,  referring to former President Robert Kocharyan's staement that <the Russian peacekeeping mission in Artsakh was not doing its job badly  up to a certain point>, spoke about the Azerbaijani aggression of  2022 and the <disrespectful> reaction of the CSTO partners, after which he signed the Prague Declaration, recognizing Nagorno-Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan.

According to Pashinyan, even before the events of 2022, having seen  the developments, he told the CSTO partners about the possible risk  of an attack on Armenia. In response, according to him, the partners  assured that such a thing was impossible and Armenia's borders were a  "red line" for them.

<When in September 2022 there was an invasion of Armenia's sovereign  territory - and it was not the first invasion, before that there were  the events of May 2021, the events of November 2021 - I considered  the dialogue , I am telling you directly,  disrespectful to Armenia.  It was then that I decided that the RA government should recognize  the  territorial integrity of Armenia,> the Prime Minister said. In  this vein, he emphasized that it was <on October 6, 2022, the prime  minister of  Armenia recognized the territorial integrity of Armenia  and its neighbors>.
