Nikol Pashinyan: Azerbaijani community of Artsakh is already participating in the negotiation process on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict

ArmInfo. The Azerbaijani community of Artsakh is already taking part in the negotiation process on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict. 13 Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said this in an interview with "Shant" TV channel.

He noted that he had repeatedly stated that he could negotiate on behalf of the Republic of Armenia, as he was elected by the citizens of the Republic of Armenia, however, he is not the President of Artsakh, and was not elected by the people of the NKR. "Therefore, I believe that the people of Artsakh should be represented by the one who was elected president of the NKR citizens. As for the NKR Azerbaijani community, it is represented by Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev. After all, all members of this community are citizens of Azerbaijan in the election of the President of the AR ", - said the prime minister.  Pashinyan also noted that having elected Aliyev as president, representatives of the Azerbaijani community of Artsakh actually authorized him to represent their interests in the negotiation process. "If these people have elected a president, but they don't have a channel to voice their problems, the situation is somewhat incomprehensible," the prime minister said.
