ArmInfo. Leader of the "Make a step" movement, opposition MP Nikol Pashinyan hopes to establish an effective dialogue with Russia on the sale of arms by Moscow Baku.
"This is a problem that has always been discussed and discussed, and I hope that we will have a good and effective dialogue with our Russian colleagues on this issue, because Russia also understands the seriousness of this issue and I think they are also ready for a dialogue on this topic, "Pashinyan said in an interview with the BBC. Speaking about the Karabakh conflict, the deputy stressed that this issue should be resolved through dialogue. In this context, the oppositionist reminded that Azerbaijan has been very aggressive for many years, and this creates a negative background for the conversation. "When we hear from Azerbaijan every day that we are going to start a war against Armenia, we are going to conquer Yerevan - how can there be a constructive dialogue in such an atmosphere?" It seems now that the goal of Azerbaijan is the capitulation of Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia. And I think that the first thing to do,- is to create an appropriate atmosphere for dialogue, for negotiations. We believe that this must be done necessarily. Both Armenia and the international community in general must draw some conclusions about this. When their goal is to destroy Armenia, and they do not want to talk about anything else, they do not want to hear anything, "he said. At the same time Pashinyan stated that Ilham Aliyev in his last statements speaks about plans to enter Yerevan. According to him, Armenia has always been inclined to dialogue, and always any Armenian authorities believed that the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh should be resolved through dialogue, and it is necessary to exclude rhetoric, from which it can be concluded that someone is going to solve this issue by force. "This should not be the case, it's the XXI century, and we are civilized countries, at least Armenia, I hope you saw it in the last 20 days, but this does not mean that civilization should be interpreted as a weakness provocations on the part of Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh, we all will push all our internal political issues aside and will only deal with the protection of our homeland, "the deputy concluded.
