Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement package presented by  Armenian  authorities is incomplete - opposition member

ArmInfo.  The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement package presented by the  Armenian authorities is incomplete and lacks essential documents that  would ensure transparency throughout the negotiation process, as  stated by Artur Khachatryan, NA member from the opposition "Armenia"  faction, at a press briefing on December 5.

According to him, the missing documents pertain to the Madrid  Principles, the OSCE Minsk Group proposals, and, of course, the Key  West Agreements. Instead, they are publishing a piece of paper that  was supposedly given to RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. "Three  days ago, I presented several points from the Key West Agreements,  which stipulated that Armenia would maintain control over a  significant portion of Nagorno-Karabakh, with no demands from  Azerbaijan. The Lachin Corridor would have the same status as  Nagorno-Karabakh and all communications would be unblocked, not just  Baku's consent to the transit of Kazakh grain to Yerevan. In  exchange, Armenia had agreed to provide Azerbaijan with an unimpeded  corridor to Nakhichevan, with this entire corridor, whether by air,  land, or underground, under the control of the Armenian side," the  parliamentarian emphasized.

He pointed out the paradox of the situation when the authorities  claim they lack the relevant documents when everyone knew about it.  "Did Lucifer really force this text to be brought and made public?"  the oppositionist asked, presenting a document from 2019 that had  previously been published. This document clearly stated that the  people of Nagorno-Karabakh would have the opportunity to determine  their future status, and this agenda would be unrestricted by  anything or anyone. Moreover, no one would have the right to  challenge this status. Moreover, Nagorno-Karabakh would receive a  special status during the transition period to ensure the normal  functioning of the region, and the opportunity to participate in  discussions in international structures where the Artsakh issue would  be discussed. Armenia would be considered a guarantor of the NKR's  security.

"What was Pashinyan's reaction to this document? Let's compare the  potential situation if he had  accepted it with what actually  happened. He did nothing, and it begs  the question of whether this  was intentional or a misunderstanding of the situation. Considering  Pashinyan's well-known statement referring to Artsakh as a cancer,  one can conclude that this was done intentionally," the opposition  leader emphasized.
