Armenia’s PM admits making strategic mistake

If to speak about Armenia’s strategic mistake I will say that the biggest mistake was to think that two approaches may be united, Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at the meeting with My Step deputies at the NA.

“One of the approaches was exclusion of the war and the second no piece of land. We should have understood, we should have had scenario and prepared to this scenario. Our biggest mistake was that we though we may always delay the process. Let’s fix clearly that in the negotiation process launched since 1998 only one formulation was tangible - return of 7 territories to Azerbaijan. This was the only concrete thing at the negotiations,” Pashinyan said.

The PM stated that the failure to select one out of the two existing scenarios was a strategic mistake.

“We wanted to combine these two. We should have chosen. Frankly speaking we tried to make the choice and frankly speaking we made it, another thing is that during the past 2,5 years we failed to do much to back this choice,” Pashinyan said.
