Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the entrenched perceptions Armenians hold about Turkey and Azerbaijan were shaped under the influence of Soviet propaganda.
“When we say, ‘A Turk never changes,’ they say the same about Armenians in Turkey. When we say, ‘How can we trust Azerbaijan?’, they say the same about Armenians. When we say, ‘We have learned nothing from history,’ they respond: ‘You’ve learned nothing from history if you want peace with Armenians,’” Pashinyan noted.
According to the prime minister, Armenian society must “free itself from the worldview that was shaped for us by KGB agents.”
