Pashinyan: We have not lost Nagorno-Karabakh, we have found the  Republic of Armenia

ArmInfo. "We have not lost Nagorno-Karabakh, we have found the Republic of Armenia."  Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan made this statement while addressing the parliament on June 19.

According to Pashinyan, many claim that Armenia has lost  Nagorno-Karabakh. "I have thought a lot about this issue, and my  conclusion is as follows: we have not lost Nagorno-Karabakh, we have  found the Republic of Armenia," he said.

Pashinyan noted that the Nagorno-Karabakh issue has been used as a  rope for many years to prevent the formation of the Republic of  Armenia. "The Republic of Armenia is being formed, and I am more  optimistic than ever about its future," he noted.

He also touched upon the criticism that the Republic of Armenia is  not ready and is not preparing to confront regional threats,  particularly, the potential consequences of the Iran-Israel conflict.  " The Republic of Armenia  has never  been as prepared for  international developments and possible regional problems as it is  today," Pashinyan assured. Yerevan has reached this point as a result  of a balanced and balancing foreign policy, dialogue with Ankara, and  the peace process  with Baku, he noted.
