"The new understanding of peace is that if we say the Republic of Armenia has sovereign territories under Azerbaijan's control, then we must also recognize that Azerbaijan has sovereign territories under our control. This issue should be settled through mutual border delimitation. Peace cannot be achieved unless the Garabagh issue is resolved. In fact, some forces use the Garabagh issue as a tool to hinder Armenia's independence, sovereignty, and statehood development.”

These words were spoken by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in his address to the people on Monday.

Sometimes they say that good comes from evil. There is no doubt that we are witnesses to this truth. The speech of the Armenian Prime Minister also suggests that he is now understanding several issues that he has not noticed for many years. After Azerbaijan's triumph in the Second Garabagh War and subsequent victory in anti-terrorist measures, he has come to realize the realities, even though he was defeated. This also indicates that a line has been drawn over Russia's hateful policy. Pashinyan states that their (Garabagh Armenians') rights are solely Armenia's responsibility. In this way, he exposes Russia, which has been the main root cause and driver of the Garabagh problem throughout history.

For nearly three decades, Armenia occupied Azerbaijani territories with extensive Russian military and political backing. Multiple channels facilitated Moscow’s steady supply of arms and equipment to Yerevan:

Free provision of weapons and equipment through military aid;

Shared use of a unified air defense system;

CIS-based military assistance........
