After my being elected Prime Minister, Azerbaijan announced about “liberating” an area of 11,000 hectares in Nakhichevan. Sadly, there were [political] forces in Armenia that began to pay “homage” to that disinformation.

Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Monday stated the aforesaid during his talk with the residents of Ararat town, and during the My Step alliance’s campaign rallies for the upcoming snap parliamentary election in Armenia.

“It’s a complete nonsense,” he added. “And as before, so now the armed forces of Armenia continue confidently safeguarding our security.

“In essence, we can record that just as the armed forces of the Republic of Armenia had a complete strategic initiative [before], they have [it] completely today, too.

“Five days ago, I was at the Nakhichevan sector of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border; I personally got familiarized with the situation [there]. (…). Applause for our soldiers, officers, and generals.”
