News - Armenia premier: Moment of transformation from ‘non-state people’ to ‘state people’ is constitutional referendum

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan gave an interview to the Public Radio of Armenia. The PM's spokesperson posted—on Facebook—the announcement of this interview where Pashinyan states as follows, in particular: "We [i.e. Armenia] must not let anyone from outside interfere with our state affairs. If you have a strong and combat-ready army to achieve legitimate objectives, no one can tell you why you are strengthening your army. "Legitimate relationship is as follows: what I expect from you and what you expect from me? Today we really need to regulate our relations with the declaration [of independence of Armenia]. Which is that point? Which is the moment when we are transformed from a ‘non-state people’ into a ‘state people?’ That moment is the constitutional referendum." The aforementioned interview will be aired today at 7pm local time on the Public Radio of Armenia.
