ArmInfo. Statement by US National Security Advisor to the President John Bolton on Karabakh was made on his personal behalf. On October 27, the Acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said this in an interview with journalists.
Earlier, John Bolton in Yerevan stated that after the parliamentary elections, Prime Minister Pashinyan will be able to make crucial decisions on the Artsakh issue, as it will give him the opportunity to take the lead.
As Nikol Pashinyan noted, John Bolton can speak only on his own behalf, and not on behalf of the Prime Minister of Armenia. "Of course, my election will give me the opportunity, but I have repeatedly noted that there cannot be any decision that will be unacceptable for Armenia, the people of Artsakh and its authorities. In the global solution of the issue, we understand that there should be a solution acceptable to the people of Azerbaijan as well. Upon reaching any compromise public will be informed about this in advance, "Nikol Pashinyan stressed.
He added that on the topic of the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, some politicians staged a storm in a glass, saying in social networks that only the people of Armenia can solve this issue: it is not me who solves the Karabakh issue, but the people of Artsakh", the prime minister said. To the remark that former Minister of Defense Vigen Sargsyan sharply criticized Pashinyan's foreign policy, saying that the new government is destroying what was created for decades, the acting prime minister said: "I'm surprised that people are buying something and then selling it on our behalf. If Vigen Sargsyan is used to the fact that the Armenian authorities have to conduct foreign policy on their knees, I must disappoint him and all his colleagues.The Armenian authorities are conducting a very clear, confident and decent foreign policy. " Commenting on whether it is possible that Armenia will buy weapons from the United States, Pashinyan noted that the Armenian government is not limited by anything. "If the US authorities make a profitable proposal, we will discuss it," the acting the prime minister said.
