The Declaration of Independence is not a declaration of independence, but a declaration of conflict. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this live on his Facebook page.
“The Civil Contract Party is the only force that argues that the new Constitution should not contain any mention of the Declaration of Independence; it is a declaration of conflict, a declaration of conflict. We are creating a state with this declaration not to ensure the well-being and freedom of our citizens, but for Nagorno-Karabakh and Western Armenia.
We must make this decision very clearly, especially given that the political field is currently largely positioned according to the following logic: the party of peace, which says we should not continue the Karabakh movement, and the party of war, which essentially, directly or indirectly, says we should continue the Karabakh movement,” he noted.
