Armenian people opted for "real Armenia" long ago - premier

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan believes that the Armenian people have long ago made their  choice in favor of Real Armenia, ready to record the strategic impossibility of returning to the idea of historical Armenia.

<The conceptual dilemma that is being discussed in our country today  is the following: what is the purpose of the Republic of Armenia? To  be an outpost, a stronghold, to have a larger state in terms of  territory (the concept of Historical Armenia), or a mechanism for  ensuring the well-being of its own citizens on its internationally  recognized territory (the concept of Real Armenia) with the  understanding that the inseparable elements of well-being are  well-being, freedom, justice, security.

I am sure that our people have long ago made their choice in favor of  Real Armenia.

But we, who ruled at different times, did not listen to him, in fact,  forced our people to live in a <historical cycle>. It is for this  reason that we must apologize to our people, and I apologize on my  part>, Pashinyan noted on a social network. Let us recall that  Pashinyan first advanced the idea of confrontation between <real> and  <historical> Armenia on April 10, 2024 in the country's parliament,  stating that <historical> and <real> Armenia are antagonists and pose  serious threats to each other. According to him, <historical>  Armenia, willingly or unwillingly, echoes a number of countries that  encroach on the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity  of real Armenia. 

In addition, the prime minister pointed out, historical Armenia not  only guarantees eternal enmity with a number of countries, but also  gives them a pretext and grounds for an aggressive policy towards the  Republic of Armenia. It also makes the <real> Armenia dependent on  the <senior partner> and deprived of real independence, he noted.  <Our vision of historical Armenia will always lead us into the trap  of genocide, in which we will need a savior and patron, without whom  we cannot exist. The fear of genocide will keep us in the status of  an outpost. And an outpost does not need territorial integrity, nor  borders, nor sovereignty. It only needs a patron>, Pashinyan said  then. A day later, he called for recording the strategic  impossibility of returning to the idea of historical Armenia.

On May 7, at a press conference he convened, Pashinyan presented step  by step the name of the future "Real Armenia" - "Republic of Armenia"  using PowerPoint, and in the next slide he indicated that the RA will  have the status of a "sovereign state", then - the territory of the  RA of 29,743 square kilometers, forgetting to indicate the territory  of the Armenian enclave - Artsvashen. Despite the fact that in the  future Armenia the Prime Minister guarantees social justice to  everyone, the real Armenia will not insist on "historical justice". 

As the Prime Minister emphasized, the meaning of the existence of the  RA is not in serving historical justice and the national agenda, but  in ensuring the freedom, happiness and well-being of the country's  citizens. On May 8, the Prime Minister of Armenia published on his  Facebook page a list of, in his opinion, "National Interests of the  People of the Republic of Armenia", in which the Armenian Catholic  Church, the Armenian Evangelical Church are on a par with the  Armenian Apostolic Church.  Meanwhile, according to the Constitution  of the Republic of Armenia, <the Republic of Armenia recognizes the  exclusive mission of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church as a national  church in the spiritual life of the Armenian people, in the  development of its national culture and the preservation of national  identity>.
