The president of Belarus said what I have been trying to say to RA for 4 years, but, of course, I cannot say it directly.

The preparations for the 44-day war in 2020 were not made by our allies, and I know of at least two CSTO countries that participated in the preparations for the war against us. Those countries may have created an imitation that they want to help us or they allegedly helped us, but I want to say that the war was not even about NK, because I showed in the investigative commission [NA] that NK They have closed the question to themselves for a long time. That idea was about RA's expectations. The goal of that war was the non-existence of an independent state of RA," said Pashinyan. According to the Prime Minister, the "expectation" was not justified not only during the 44-day period, but also in May 2021, during the NA elections, in September 2022, in September 2023, as well. In May 2024, Pashinyan also recalled his statement that if they managed to keep the state for 1-2 years, the existence of the state is guaranteed for the next 50-100 years. "He said. According to Pashinyan, the events taking place are meant to make people aware that today the cornerstones of the state are being laid in Kirants, Voskepar, and Berkaber. "Yes, Lukashenko is right. It got here (shows forehead - ed.) until I got him to say it publicly. But I'm glad I got around to saying it publicly. There are still people who should say this publicly," he said.
