Taguhi Tovmasyan: Progress in Armenia-Azerbaijan negotiation process  is possible only if Artsakh`s self- determination issue is considered

ArmInfo. Progress in the negotiation process between Armenia and Azerbaijan is possible only  if the issue of self-determination of Artsakh is included in the  document of the peace treaty.

Chairperson of the Standing Committee  on Protection of Human Rights and Public Affairs, nonpartisan Taguhi  Tovmasyan stated during a briefing on May 4, commenting at the  request of journalists on Washington's statement on progress in the  negotiation process between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

She stated that the president of France, the chancellor of Germany,  the US congressmen, who presented projects in this regard, speak more  about the self-determination of Artsakh than Armenia itself.

In this context, the MP emphasized that it is possible to achieve  progress on this issue only if it is possible to transform the  political discourse of international partners into a legal document.  "I can't talk about other progress," she said.  It should be noted  that yesterday US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan welcomed  the progress achieved by Armenia and Azerbaijan in the negotiations.  "A sustainable and fair agreement will be the key to unlocking  opportunities for both countries and the region," he said.

It should be reminded that since April 30, under the auspices of  Washington, talks have been held in Washington on a draft peace  treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Their final round is scheduled  for today.
