Pashinyan regrets late recognition of Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan

WNAM MONIORING: Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has expressed regret for recognizing Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan too late.

“Yes, in 2022, I recognized Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity and that Karabakh is part of it. This decision should have been made much earlier,” Pashinyan stated during a press conference.

According to the prime minister, he understood that Armenia cannot have its territorial integrity recognized without recognizing the territorial integrity of its neighbors, as they are interconnected.
