Armenian PM: ‘Yes, Artsakh is Armenia, it is the land of Armenians’
Artsakh is Armenia, a land of Armenians, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview to BBC World News on Tuesday.
“Yes, Artsakh is Armenia, it is the land of Armenians because always over 80% of the people, of the population there have been Armenians, and today that is the case. So what is the problem with it? And Azerbaijan wants Armenians not to live there, and that is why with the help of terrorists, it is attacking Nagorno-Karabakh today,” he said.
“So what is anyone's proposal that the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh are going to say, 'Okay, you are terrorists, and therefore we give up on our roots.' That cannot possibly happen,” the premier stressed.
