Pashinyan explains why Armenian authorities "forgot" about the date of September 27

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan explained why the country's authorities did not mark in any way the anniversary of the start of the 44-day war, and why a concert was broadcast on Armenian Public Television that day.

At a briefing on October 1, Pashinyan, answering a corresponding question, stated that the war had been talked about incessantly for 5 years, and there was no topic left that had not been discussed. According to Pashinyan, in the end it must be acknowledged that there are many days in Armenia's history that society does not address separately. The prime minister noted that a single day of remembrance for those who died in the name of the homeland has been established in the country.

Commenting on the concert on Public Television that caused outrage among the Armenian public, Pashinyan asked whether there are no concerts on other days. "Today, on this day, during the war there were numerous casualties," he recalled, adding that "then there will be November 9" (the day the war ended – ed.). "I want to understand, in 8 or 10 years, will it be possible to broadcast a concert on September 27 or not?" Pashinyan wondered.

Overall, the prime minister believes that since there are many tragic dates in Armenian history, it may turn out that 360 days a year are days of tragedy.

Pashinyan also noted that the lexicon of messages should correspond to the spirit of August 8 (meaning the meeting in Washington).
