Pashinyan: The Karabakh issue has not yet been finally settled

ArmInfo. ''We are all facing difficult times, which are our shared burden, no matter who played a role in this story. This is our burden, and we must carry  that burden nationally'', Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated in an  interview to the Public TV.

''But on the other hand, we have to think about our future, because  at this stage it is crucial for us to have a vision of the future - a  vision of Nagorno-Karabakh's future.

Unfortunately, the Karabakh issue has not yet been finally settled.   Now the next question is as follows: do we continue to fight for the  people of Karabakh, for their rights? The clear answer for me here is  yes. What should be done for this at the first moment? First of all,  our compatriots in Artsakh must go and live, start living in their  homes.

The PM recalled that a session in the government was held to discuss  these issues. Because it is obvious that destruction must be  repaired, infrastructures must be restored, investments must be made,  a natural environment must be created for creative and peaceful life.

There are now peacekeepers who ensure the security of Armenians in at  least part of Nagorno-Karabakh.  The right of our compatriots to  return to the other sections is recorded. Now we must endeavor to  help them exercise that right and ensure their dignity and security.  A road will be functional along the Lachin corridor, that is, there  will be no problem of road communication between Armenia and  Karabakh.  Will people be able to travel through the corridor  provided by the Russian peacekeepers as usual? In other words, at  least the part of Artsakh that is under the control of the Artsakh  authorities, normal life there must be restored as soon as  possible''.
