Former Foreign Minister of Armenia: Aliyev believes he resolved the  issue of corridor through Syunik

ArmInfo. The latest statements by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in an interview with Russian media outlined the list of demands that Baku is putting before Yerevan for signing the so-called peace treaty. Former Foreign Minister of Armenia Vardan Oskanyan stated this live on his Facebook page.

Noting that he has no idea about the content of the so-called peace  treaty, and expressing his conviction that Armenia has already made  several unilateral concessions, Oskanyan noted that Armenian society  has already witnessed a number of such concessions - the loss of  Artsakh, the occupation of the territories of the Republic of  Armenia, and more.

"As we see, Azerbaijan has put forward a huge list of demands to  Armenia. According to Aliyev's latest statements, 300 thousand  Azerbaijanis have already approached the Armenian authorities with a  so-called request to "return" to the Republic of Armenia and are  awaiting a response from the authorities. Moreover, it turned out  that the EU civilian mission will withdraw from Armenia's borders,  and Yerevan must cease purchasing weapons," Oskanyan noted. The  diplomat added that even though Aliyev did not mention a corridor  through Armenia's territory, it does not mean that this issue is not  being considered.  Oskanyan is sure that the Azerbaijani president  does not consider it necessary to talk about this today, as he  believes it is easily achievable for himself. "Azerbaijan will simply  enter and seize this corridor. Aliyev believes that Armenian Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan has promised him this corridor giving him  the right to enter and claim it. So, this is a serious concern, and  the statements of the Armenian authorities that the corridor is a  "red line" for them hold no weight. Previously, the Armenian  authorities stated that Artsakh is Armenia and that's it, but   reality showed otherwise," the former head of the Armenian Foreign  Ministry noted.

 At the same time, he added that yesterday Pashinyan tried to address  Aliyev's demands in his interview.  "Regarding the issue of arms  purchases, Pashinyan tried to justify himself by saying that the  purchases are solely for defensive purposes. However, Pashinyan's  response falls short of what is expected from the leader of a  sovereign state. A true representative of a sovereign state would  answer that "it is not Azerbaijan's concern what, how and where  Armenia buys," Oskanyan asserted. Once again underscoring Pashinyan's  failed diplomacy, the former head of the Armenian Foreign Ministry  emphasized that the Armenian Prime Minister has accumulated  significant experience in negative diplomacy, with all his actions   proving detrimental to the Republic of Armenia. 

Oskanyan is confident that the only way out of the difficult  situation in which Armenia finds itself today is to bring the Artsakh  issue back to the negotiating agenda. According to him, despite  efforts by several international organizations and states to address  the Artsakh issue, the only obstacle to its inclusion in the  negotiations is the Armenian authorities. " The Armenian authorities  hold a significant responsibility in this matter, as they have  obligations to many citizens, including the people of Artsakh, who  have lost their homeland and homes," the former head of the Armenian  Foreign Ministry noted.
