Arsen Torosyan: Russia is making every effort to resolve the  situation at the border without firing a single shot

ArmInfo. The situation on the borders of Armenia continues to be tense in connection with the invasion of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan. Arsen Torosyan, Head of  the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, stated  this in an interview with journalists on July 4.

Clarifying to the journalists about what positive achievements can be  said when the enemy is still on the territory of the Republic of  Armenia, Torosyan, in particular, said: "It takes time to assess the  achievements. There are achievements in the sense that at the highest  level with our only partner in the zone security, there is mutual  understanding on ways to resolve the current situation. The Russian  Federation is making every effort to make this happen without firing  a single shot, since a large-scale war, the risk of which is still  high, is not needed by anyone in the region, especially Armenia,  "Torosyan said.

Answering the question about the signing of a new document with  Azerbaijan, mentioned by Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of  Armenia, Torosyan assured that if any document is signed, it will  reflect the results of the agreements reached between the parties.  "At the moment, there are no final agreements, and therefore, there  can be no talk of any signing. And I don't see any reason to talk  about it now," the official said, recalling once again that  delimitation and demarcation of borders is a complex process that  requires many years of painstaking work.

At the same time, he assured that the process of clarifying the  borders is in no way connected with the requirement to withdraw the  Azerbaijani Armed Forces to their initial positions from the  territory of Armenia. Torosyan also stated that the countries to  which Pashinyan's message was sent on the issue of the deployment of  international observers, reacted. In this vein, the official recalled  that Russia had fulfilled its functions before this proposal and  continues to do so. "The Russian Federation, being our main partner,  continues to intensively fulfill its mission," Torosyan stated,  recalling the numerous statements of the RA power structures on  cooperation.

At the same time, the head of the RA Prime Minister's Office refused  to disclose the details of the results of Pashinyan's visit to Paris  and Brussels, only assuring that they will be disclosed when it is  needed based on the state interests of Armenia.

To the comment of the journalist to what extent the steps to create a  joint commission to clarify the borders proceed from the interests of  Armenia, after all, it was Azerbaijan that invaded the sovereign  territory of Armenia, and tomorrow it may reach Yerevan with such  success, Torosyan urged not to exaggerate the situation. In his  words, the talk was about measures to de-escalate the situation,  which would lead to the withdrawal of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces  and ensure the presence of one of the partners of Armenia in these  areas. "At the moment, intensive negotiations are underway with the  mediation of Russia, which I have already said," Torosyan stressed.

In conclusion, he also touched on the issue of providing a corridor  through Armenia, the so-called Zangezur region through the Syunik  region and assured that this issue was never on the agenda of  negotiations and it will not be, and it is not included in any  document.
