Pashinyan Warns 'Western Azerbaijan' Narrative Threatens Armenia
Pashinyan: “Western Azerbaijan” Narrative Poses Serious Threat to Armenia’s Security
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has characterized the "Western Azerbaijan" narrative as a serious security threat to Armenia. The term, promoted by Azerbaijan, refers to territory in the South Caucasus and has become a point of contention in regional geopolitics. Pashinyan's comments reflect Armenian concerns about territorial claims and regional stability following the 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The statement underscores ongoing tensions between the two countries over disputed territories and competing historical narratives. Armenian officials have repeatedly rejected the "Western Azerbaijan" designation, viewing it as part of a broader effort to advance territorial claims at Armenia's expense.
