Armenia`s premier on becoming full-fledged premier 

ArmInfo. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan believes that he became a full-fledged prime minister only after signing the tripartite statement in Prague on October 6, 2022,  by which he officially recognized Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan by  his own decision. This recognition was fateful for Artsakh and the  Armenian people. Thus, on June 19, speaking from the rostrum of the  country's parliament, he stated that in the whole world there is not,  was not and will not be a government that will not or cannot be  objectively criticized. And this is an important and necessary  moment, thanks to which it is possible to work on mistakes, in his  case - also to reflect on the work of the prime minister over the  past 7 years, Pashinyan added.

"I have recorded for myself that in June 2018 (in May he was elected  prime minister following the <velvet revolution - ed.) I was  conditionally the head of the government, the prime minister of the  outpost. And for me, the biggest change by June 2025 is that I became  a full-fledged prime minister, thanks to the martyrs and the people  of the Republic of Armenia," Pashinyan noted.

It is noteworthy that, according to Pashinyan, several countries were  involved in the process of "outpostization" of Armenia - from the  North, South, West and East. What is important is that we - the  people of the Republic of Armenia - encouraged this process  ourselves; for many years, the Armenian society, the political elite  and he himself as an official did not fully realize the fact of a  sovereign state.

"I know the day when I transformed into a full-fledged prime minister  of the Republic of Armenia, and from that moment to this day I  function exclusively within the framework of this logic - it was in  October 2022, when I recognized the territorial integrity of the  Republic of Armenia," Pashinyan said. 

Following the quadripartite meeting held in Prague on October 6  between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani  President Ilham Aliyev, French President Emmanuel Macron and European  Council President Charles Michel, a statement was adopted in which  Armenia and Azerbaijan reaffirmed their commitment to the UN Charter  and the 1991 Alma-Ata Declaration, through which both sides recognize  each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty. They confirmed  that this would serve as the basis for the work of the delimitation  commissions.
