YEREVAN, JUNE 27, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said that he believes that the goal of some episodes that took place during the 2020 Nagorno Karabakh War on the battlefield was to organize a change of government in Armenia.

“There are many episodes regarding the war that have led to many views and narratives, that the goal of what happened on the frontline was actually to organize a change of government in Armenia. For very long, even until the end of the war I didn’t allow myself to consider this. But then, analyzing several developments, sometimes I start to think about this,” Pashinyan told lawmakers at the parliament select committee on the 2020 war.

This hypothesis was strengthened by the developments in Sotk-Khoznavar, with a criminal investigation still ongoing, a defendant facing an indictment, but still no explanations, Pashinyan said. 

“For example, it turned out that someone committed a crime, everything is revealed. But what’s not revealed is their motive. And this is a very important nuance,” Pashinyan said.
