Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement priority - MP

ArmInfo.In the current conditions, the return of the residents of Artsakh is unrealistic, said Sargis Khandanyan, head of the standing parliamentary committee on foreign relations, at a briefing on September 4, referring to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's statement that the return of Armenians to Karabakh under the conditions of his former authorities is unrealistic.

<I do not consider it (the return of the Artsakh residents to their  homes) realistic given the ideas with which a number of NK  representatives are trying to interpret this issue. For the same  reasons that the same people signed a decree on the dissolution of  Nagorno-Karabakh and immediately left Nagorno-Karabakh>, - Pashinyan  said at a press conference on August 31, answering a question about  why he is afraid to talk about the return of the residents of  Nagorno-Karabakh.

<I do not think that we can discuss this issue at the moment,  especially publicly. Security is a major issue that still has no  solution. Armenia's security is still under great threat, and in  these circumstances, concluding a peace treaty is a priority for  Armenia," the head of the commission said.
