News - Pashinyan: Some circles forcibly displaced from Karabakh are taking steps that create threat to Armenia’s security

Some group of forcibly displaced persons from Nagorno-Karabakh willingly or unwillingly are taking actions and steps that create a threat to Armenia's national security, are announcing some governments in exile, etc. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this at Thursday’s Cabinet meeting of the Armenian government. "I want to state very clearly that there is one government in Armenia, and that government is sitting in this hall. And I want all of us to record this message very clearly, and if necessary, appropriate steps should be taken and appropriate measures should be taken so that external forces also do not use certain circles to create threats to Armenia's security. This is a question that needs to be answered. I don't want to draw conclusions on that topic today, but I want to clearly state that there can be no other government in Armenia except the government of Armenia. If anyone in Armenia identifies themselves as a government, it is a national security issue of Armenia, and I hope that the existence of that issue does not mean that our bodies have failed in their work. Those who make those messages, they had the opportunity to carry out that duty, and we have seen what they did with that opportunity. (…) such actions against the [Armenian] state, which already cross the respectful-disrespectful line and get a different logic, cannot remain unanswered by Armenia," said the PM.
