Armenia’s PM Pashinyan says Karabakh was a trap for Armenia:
Yes, I am the person who said 'Artsakh is Armenia, period.'
I said it because I believed in ideas instilled in us from school years. But I went on an honest path, saying we should not bequeath this conflict to our children.
I understood we had been put in a trap. We were put in a trap through Karabakh.
If we continued on that path, we would lose Armenia and Armenian statehood.
I found strength — it wasn't easy. I knew they would call me a traitor, a land-giver, everything.
But today I am very glad I found that strength, stood up, faced the truth, and brought Armenia out of the trap.
