Pashinyan: Recognition of Karabakh independence by Armenia could lead to war
Recognition of the independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) by Armenia may lead to war. This was stated by Nikol Pashinyan, acting Prime Minister of Armenia.

The prime minister said that the recognition of Karabakh in any way would and will lead to war, had Armenia done it now.
According to him, the OSCE Minsk Group stands for the resumption of negotiations for the final settlement of the conflict and determination of the status of Karabakh. At the same time, Pashinyan himself advocates the separation of Karabakh into a separate state, guided by the principle of "secession for the sake of salvation." (Secession (lat. Secessio "leaving" from secedo "leaving") - secession from the state of any part of it).
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan is confident in the imminent opening of the Zangezur (Syunik) corridor, which will connect the territory of the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic with the territory of Azerbaijan through the territory of Armenia. The proposed corridor will be approximately 40 km long and will run through the Syunik region.
Baku is confident that Russia will not oppose this project and, as Erdogan said, "will support it." At the same time, Azerbaijan refers to the Shusha Declaration, which provides for the functioning of two corridors: Lachin and Zangezur.
