Prime Minister: Current agendas in Armenia and Azerbaijan on  return  of citizens who became refugees in early 90s pose serious threats to   peace process

ArmInfo.  The current agendas  in Armenia and Azerbaijan on the return of citizens who became refugees in the early 90s pose serious threats to the peace process.  Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this  during a briefing on August 21.  When asked whether Armenian citizens would be  able to travel freely with the opening of the borders, he referred to  the principle of reciprocity and emphasized that  they would be able  to travel anywhere, but as tourists.

The agendas on the return of refugees, according to him, is mainly  becoming a subject of political speculation. "And, therefore, this  will not give anything to the refugees themselves, on the contrary,  it will create new tensions, with all the consequences," the head of  government said.  He recalled that many conflicts, including the  Karabakh conflict, began with the discussion of  " innocent cultural,  social, and political issues". But what all this turned into,  according to Pashinyan, was felt by everyone.  "This is my approach  and strategic proposal to both the Armenian and Azerbaijani public,  and I think we should follow this path," he concluded.
