ArmInfo. No results from the meeting with Aliyev were envisaged. This was stated by the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan at a briefing in Moscow, speaking about the results of a meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on the WEF fields in Davos.
"It was just communication. Neither Aliyev nor I expected results. We just talked. Of course, we discussed the Karabakh problem. But these are not official talks; we are simply talking about our perceptions of this problem, about how we ourselves perceive this problem, how our people perceive it, "Pashinyan explained.
In response to the question of whether the possibility of transferring the territories controlled by the Armenian side or returning Artsakh to the negotiating table was discussed, Pashinyan assured that the whole conversation was taking place within the framework of his public statements. "I voiced my public statements and positions. I said that I represent Armenia, and not Artsakh, because the citizens of Artsakh do not participate in elections in Armenia and did not elect me. They have their own government, their president. Therefore, I cannot to negotiate on behalf of Artsakh, I can negotiate on behalf of Armenia, "said Pashinyan. However, he refused to disclose all the details of the meeting, referring to the requirements of ethics. Speaking about the timing of the official talks with Aliyev, he noted that the foreign ministers of the two countries are negotiating, but so far there is no specifics.
