Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this during a press briefing after the Government meeting.
He noted that thousands of citizens are already traveling to Turkey for tourism purposes, and there is also movement in the opposite direction.
He criticized the practice of using the "Turkey" or "Azerbaijan" factors in political struggles as an insult or negative label, calling it «fortress mentality»:
«Back in 2021 or 2022, I said that you shouldn't call me a «Turk» thinking that you are insulting me; that is bad, fortress mentality. We need to understand that we are a state and we need to be serious. I support your right to go to Turkey, Russia, or Europe. People have the right to express themselves, but if each of us restrains ourselves, there will be no need to restrain anyone else,» Pashinyan said.
