flag Armenia won’t repatriate 100,000 Nagorno-Karabakh refugees, citing instability, as defense cuts spark security concerns.

flag Armenian officials, including Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, reiterated in September 2025 that they will not pursue the return of over 100,000 ethnic Armenian refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh, calling it unrealistic and potentially destabilizing. flag Pashinyan emphasized resettlement in Armenia with citizenship, aligning with U.S.-brokered talks that did not address Karabakh’s status. flag Meanwhile, Armenia’s defense budget is set to drop by 15% in 2026, sparking opposition backlash over national security concerns amid Azerbaijan’s rising military spending and continued presence on Armenian territory. flag The government maintains the cuts are part of reform, not concession, while transparency on past peace plans remains pending.
