Prime Minister: The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was used to constantly  trap Armenia and, to some extent, Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was used to constantly trap the Republic of Armenia and, to some extent, Azerbaijan, as stated by Prime Minister  Nikol Pashinyan during government hour in the National Assembly on December 3, in response to a question from Tsovinar Vardanyan, a member of parliament from the ruling Civil Contract faction.  According to the Prime Minister, the entire negotiation process surrounding the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, as well as an analysis of the published package of documents, indicates that the conflict resolution  was never the main focus.

 "The intention was never to resolve the problem. Everything was done  to ensure that Armenia had no chance of achieving true statehood, no  matter how difficult it is to admit, especially when it concerns our  entire generation," the Prime Minister said. He also pointed out that  it is impossible to move forward without acknowledging the reality.  This issue was holding back the development of not only Armenia but  the entire region. All talks, including those in a patriotic spirit,  centered around returning the country to its former trap.

In this context, the head of state noted that the agreements reached  in Washington on August 8 have truly brought peace to every citizen  and nation.
