ArmInfo. The people, not Armenia's security guarantors, must own the peace, as stated by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during a government hour on March 25.
He said it was difficult to imagine anyone coming with the obligation to be the guarantor of peace. "Peace is ours, and the people must be the sole masters of their own, having achieved it through suffering and sacrifice," Pashinyan said. He noted that, for instance, Russia had been the guarantor of Ukraine's security, and Turkey of Cyprus. Did we have a security guarantor in 2020? We did, and who was that guarantor? The Collective Security Treaty Organization, which effectively sent us to the slaughter. If you don't believe me, read the statement Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko made in Baku. When we decided to deviate from this path, they told us, 'Where are you going?'" the head of the Armenian government said.
He also criticized the opposition's claims about the possibility of Karabakh residents returning to Nagorno- Karabakh, which would make them hostages. Moreover, these citizens have lived in uncertainty for over 30 years.
