The second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan touched upon Nikol Pashinyan's latest statements regarding Artsakh during today's press conference․

"The uncertainty regarding the security and future of Karabakh has remained the same during this year, but recently we have received certainty in connection with Armenia's position on the Karabakh settlement. It is already clear that if the Prime Minister says that since 2016 there has not even been a theoretical possibility for a status outside Azerbaijan, then this is, in fact, the position of the Republic of Armenia. This means that Armenia has washed its hands of Karabakh, and with these latest statements, the Prime Minister also, in fact, questioned the declaration on Karabakh, the declaration of September 2, which is the basis for the existence of Karabakh, the basis for its formation. Either they don't understand what they are doing, or they have planned this," Kocharyan said.
