ArmInfo.The Russian peace proposal version is acceptable to Armenia, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said. At the same time, he noted that the question of whether the Russian proposal for a peace treaty is in circulation today should be asked from the Russian side.
He noted that the issue of extending the peacekeeping mission is in any case legitimate and this issue will be resolved depending on whether the issue of the rights and security of the people of Nagorno Karabakh is resolved. In any case, there are international mechanisms for the prevention of Genocide, and according to Pashinyan, there is a danger of that.
As Pashinyan noted, if, the Karabakh issue is resolved, then why don't the Armenians of Artsakh feel this themselves. , he said.
Does the concept of resolving the conflict according to the scenario of Azerbaijan mean that all the Armenians of Karabakh suffer the same fate as the Hadrut residents? In this case, my words that a genocide is expected are justified, and that's exactly how it is," said the Prime Minister.
In this context, Pashinyan noted the importance of the proposal to create a demilitarized zone around Nagorno-Karabakh. "I suggested it, , I spoke about it, they heard me," Pashinyan said, noting that he did not want to talk about the reaction of the Russian and Azerbaijani sides, did not want to comment on it, since it would be incorrect.
In any case, Pashinyan believes that on the issue of peace in Karabakh, the leadership of Nagorno- Karabakh should become a party to the negotiations. Armenia will still be in the process in this case. Armenia has done everything and will continue to do everything possible so that our compatriots in Nagorno-Karabakh remain to live in their native land. Never before has Nagorno-Karabakh received so much assistance from Armenia as it does today, including from the point of view of forming the budget of the republic. However, he is confident in the effectiveness of direct negotiations between Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh, expressing the idea that if the status of a negotiating party had not been taken away from Karabakh in due time, the issue would have already been resolved.
At the same time, speaking about the delimitation of the borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Pashinyan believes that if Azerbaijan recognizes our borders under the 1991 treaty, that is, the administrative borders of the Soviet Union, then Azerbaijan recognizes that it has occupied the territory of Armenia and, accordingly, must leave this territory. , Pashinyan stressed. Here he noted that he considers the position of the CSTO unacceptable, because it contradicts the main documents of the organization.
