Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan writes:

“Why did Turkey return to the South Caucasus 100 years later? To continue the Armenian Genocide.

But the continuation of the genocidal policy is not only a way for Turkey to realize its hatred of Armenians, but also a pragmatic issue. Armenia and the Armenians of the South Caucasus are the last obstacle for the Turkish expansion to continue to the north, southeast and east and to realize the imperial dream.

This is no longer just a question of Karabakh, this is not just a question of the security of the Armenian people. This is an issue of international security, and the Armenian people are also defending international security, undertaking perhaps a modern historical mission.”
