RA NA Speaker: RF is preparing statement on situation in  Lachin  corridor zone

ArmInfo. The neighboring countries have not yet understood that the Armenian people have "red lines". Speaker of the Parliament stated this on December 14 from the  rostrum of the National Assembly.

Alen Simonyan, commenting on the situation in the Lachin corridor  zone.  According to the speaker, attempts to put pressure on Armenia  and Artsakh will no longer work. 

At the same time Simonyan urged to pay attention to a number of  factors. In particular, the speaker does not understand the  assurances of official Baku on granting the residents of Artsakh the  same status as the citizens of Azerbaijan. <What kind of status is  this? Hostages? Shutting off gas in the winter?>, Simonyan asked,  pointing out the need to negotiate with partners on an international  mandate for observation missions in Artsakh, including within the  framework of 12 member states of the OSCE Minsk Group.  The speaker  also pointed to the mandate of the Russian peacekeeping forces in  Artsakh. He stressed that regardless of whether the Armenian side is  satisfied with their activities or not, the situation once again  proved the need for the presence of peacekeepers in the region, whose  mandate should be extended. Simonyan also noted that there is a need  to discuss formats for the presence of peacekeeping forces of other  organizations and countries in the region as well. 

<As of the current situation, the US, the EU and France have already  made relevant targeted statements.  According to our information, the  Russian Federation is also preparing a similar statement, which the  Armenian people have long been waiting for from their ally. We hope  that this time we will not be disappointed >, the speaker stressed.
