ArmInfo. "It is courage to talk about peace in the Karabakh settlement," Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan explained the statement of the head of Germany Angela Merkel during a joint press conference with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Berlin, who shows courage in Karabakh process. "Courage is to talk about peace, which concerns all participants in the talks - Azerbaijan, Artsakh and Armenia. However, talking about peace does not mean questioning the resolve, "Mnatsakanyan stressed.
It should be noted that at a joint press conference in Berlin with Nikol Pashinyan, Chancellor Merkel, in particular, stressed that it was time to switch from words to a Karabakh settlement. "It is very good when there are such courageous prime ministers who talk about bilateral concessions, such readiness is very important for negotiations," the chancellor stressed.In turn, Pashinyan reminded that, having headed the Armenian Cabinet of Ministers, he stated from the rostrum of the parliament that it was necessary to find a solution to the Karabakh conflict, which would proceed from the interests of the peoples of Armenia, Artsakh and Azerbaijan.
"After that, I hoped to hear a similar statement by Baku, but, unfortunately, I did not hear from the Azerbaijani establishment any hint that the Karabakh settlement could somehow come from the interests of the Armenian people. Under the current conditions, it is difficult to encourage optimism regarding the regulation of the issue. Nevertheless, the Armenian side remains committed to peaceful negotiations, "Pashinyan said, once again reminding that he is authorized to conduct negotiations only on behalf of Armenia, but not Artsakh. The Armenian Prime Minister reiterated that in the Karabakh settlement all processes should be reciprocal, there should not be a single unilateral process.
