Pashinyan apologized to a Karabakh refugee.

The Armenian Prime Minister apologized to a Karabakh refugee, after raising his voice in a conversation with her on the Yerevan metro, declaring that "those who fled" should not say that he "betrayed Karabakh."

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," on December 11, 2025, searches were conducted at the Nagorno-Karabakh representative office in Yerevan, and computers were seized. Representatives of the unrecognized republic link the actions of the security forces to parliamentary hearings held the previous day. Earlier, Nikol Pashinyan stated that he considers the topic of the return of Armenians to Karabakh "very dangerous," and that such a return itself is unrealistic. "I propose that we adopt a roadmap for the parallel closure of these two issues (...) If we continue the return agenda, it means we will restart the Karabakh movement. And I have stated that we must not continue the Karabakh movement. It is over, and attempts to restart it are useless," the Prime Minister said.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan apologized to an internally displaced woman from Artsakh for their conversation on the metro today.

In a live broadcast on Facebook*, the Prime Minister called it "harsh" and stated that "from the comments and criticism of colleagues," he realized that in his words "not everything was as it should have been." "I want to apologize for everything that was said that was not as it should have been in form and content," Pashinyan said. According to him, he still cannot look back on the events of 2023 without emotion.

"Dear Ms. Mosiyan, I apologize to you and your son for getting emotional. I hope we'll have another opportunity to meet on the subway or somewhere else and talk calmly. I'd like to have such a conversation. I know you'll reject this and add a few harsh words, and I accept that. But if you suddenly think it's worth agreeing to talk calmly and without emotion, know that I'm at your disposal," Armenpress quotes him as saying.

Earlier, an incident occurred in the Yerevan subway between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and a woman from Artsakh.

Pashinyan's position on returning to Karabakh coincided with the opinion of Azerbaijani social media users

After the woman asked him not to speak to her in that tone, the prime minister declared that he would "say so." "You, who fled, don't dare say next time that I surrendered Karabakh," he said.

According to media reports, Armine Mosyan, a participant in the incident, is the daughter of Meruzhan Mosyan, a deceased commander of the First Artsakh War, the agency writes.
