Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan admits Karabakh was never Armenian territory
In a surprise statement, Armenia’s prime minister said that the Nagorno‑Karabakh region was not historically part of Armenia and called the nationalist movement for the area “a fatal mistake.” The admission comes as Yerevan pursues a peace trajectory with Azerbaijan and deepens its pro‑EU orientation. Euronews notes the comment marks a significant shift in Armenian political rhetoric.
