The Declaration of Independence of Armenia is not a declaration of independence, but a declaration of conflict, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated on Facebook live stream.

"The [ruling] Civil Contract Party is the only [political] force [in Armenia] that says that there should be no reference to the Declaration of Independence in the new constitution [of Armenia], it is a declaration of conflict, of conflict. We are not creating a state with that declaration to ensure the well-being and freedom of our citizens, but we are establishing a state for Nagorno-Karabakh and Western Armenia.

We must make that decision very clearly, especially since now the political field is essentially positioned in this logic: a party of peace, which says that we should not continue the Karabakh movement, and a party of war, which essentially directly or indirectly says that we should continue the Karabakh movement," the Armenian premier noted.
