We Must Make That Decision Very Clearly: Pashinyan

The Declaration of Independence is not a declaration of independence, but rather a declaration of conflict, stated Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during a live broadcast on his Facebook page.

"The Civil Contract party is the only force that says there should be no reference to the Declaration of Independence in the new Constitution; it is a declaration of conflict and confrontation. We are not creating a state with that declaration to ensure the well-being and freedom of our citizens; rather, we are establishing a state for Nagorno-Karabakh and Western Armenia.

We must make that decision very clearly, especially now that the political field is essentially positioned within this logic: a peace party that says we should not continue the Karabakh movement, and a war party that, either directly or indirectly, says we should continue the Karabakh movement," Pashinyan stated.
