Armenia is not in anyone’s pocket, says Prime Minister

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the Republic of Armenia has achieved an important milestone: it is no longer “in anyone’s pocket.”  He made these remarks while responding to a question from lawmaker Garnik Danielyan regarding the Karabakh issue.

“We intuitively began to receive information and process it, to the point where we understood that it was not about the Karabakh issue. There is no Karabakh issue, it has been resolved. The question was in whose pocket Armenia should be.

And today we have a serious historical achievement: the Republic of Armenia is not in anyone’s pocket. The Republic of Armenia is more of a state than ever, more independent than ever, more sovereign than ever,” Pashinyan said.

He recalled that in 2018, the political force led by him declared that its strategic task was to ensure the sustainability of the state.

“We have reached a certain positive milestone on this path. Looking back, I see that we simply had no other way. There was no other way to open up prospects for the state of Armenia,” the Prime Minister noted.
