“The lack of democracy in the Republic of Armenia or the attitude towards democracy has served as a tool so that we all do not know the whole truth about the Karabakh issue,” Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at the second Armenian Forum for Democracy.
“This is an essential nuance, and I don’t want to start a political debate, but the model that only a few people are aware of the Karabakh issue at an expert level is the worst proof of it. And the biggest problem we have faced is exactly that. That is why we are now learning new information about the Karabakh issue in the conditions of democracy, bringing up new meanings and contexts of well-known words. And this is an important detail,” Pashinyan noted.
According to him, after the war, when severe dividing lines appeared, tendencies of politicization appeared very often in the civil society of Armenia, which created an additional problem.
“But I definitely agree that one of our biggest systemic problems today is that civil society should be properly involved in policymaking. How to make it truly engaging, effective, and not constantly causing problems, that’s another problem that we will discuss and solve,” added the Prime Minister of Armenia.
