MP: Pashinyan's 'Fourth Republic' remarks amount to self-incrimination

Opposition MP and ARF Armenia leader Ishkhan Saghatelyan claims that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s recent statement about “closing the chapter of the Third Republic and creating the Fourth Republic of Armenia” amounts to self-incrimination.

“Pashinyan admits not only to destroying the Republic of Artsakh, but also planning to dismantle the Third Republic of Armenia,” he wrote on Facebook on Thursday.

According to Saghatelyan, it is part of "a plan by Turkey and Azerbaijan to completely denationalize Armenia, which the Pashinyan regime is attempting to rebrand under the notion of the Fourth Republic".
