Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated on Thursday that “some circles” who left Azerbaijan’s East Karabakh region threatened Armenia’s national security.
“I cannot help but note that some circles forcibly resettled from Nagorno-Karabakh are, wittingly or unwittingly, taking actions and steps that pose a threat to the national security of the Republic of Armenia.”
Pashinyan specified that the “circle” under discussion declared itself “some kind of government in exile,” adding that the only government in the country was “the one sitting in the room they are present in.”
If anyone in Armenia identifies itself as the government, it is a matter of national security. This is not a simple statement, it is a clear message.
The Prime Minister also warned that necessary and appropriate steps would be taken to prevent the use of certain circles by foreign forces to threaten Armenia’s national security.
