REGION  25 May 2024 - 11:44

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reportedly drafted a speech intending to announce a state of emergency but opted for a different message at the last minute.

According to Zhokhovurd newspaper, sourced by Caliber.Az, Pashinyan's evening address on May 24 diverged from his planned discourse, avoiding discussions on crucial matters he had prepared for.

Sources suggest Pashinyan had drafted a stern statement against forces impeding border delimitation, potentially including a declaration of a state of emergency.

The newspaper implies Pashinyan's remarks signalled a resolve to conclude border demarcation despite challenges, indicating a firm stance to external observers.

The publication states that Pashinyan's message was clear: regardless of the challenges ahead, border delimitation will proceed.
