RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan addressed the situation in the Lachin corridor at the beginning of the government session. He reminded that at the previous session he emphasized the topic of the situation created in the Lachin Corridor in order to bring joint efforts to the international community.
“The activity of the international community in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem should increase significantly. We should actively work towards sending a UN or OSCE or OSCE Minsk Group fact-finding mission to NK and Lachin Corridor.
I should also note that during this period, Azerbaijan continues its attempts to accuse Armenia of not fulfilling its obligations. Such attempts are futile and groundless,” Pashinyan said.
In addition, Pashinyan mentioned that RA has conveyed to Azerbaijan its proposals regarding the peace treaty and that they are ready to sign the treaty with that content. “I hope that the reaction of Azerbaijan will also be positive.”
The RA Prime Minister reminded that the Armenian side forwarded to Azerbaijan its proposals related to the further work of the committee on border demarcation and border security issues months ago, but we have not received an answer to date.
“The Republic of Armenia has conveyed to Azerbaijan its proposals regarding the re-opening of regional communications and is ready to go that way for an immediate solution to the issue. Armenia forwarded its proposals on guaranteeing border security to Azerbaijan months ago, but we have not received an answer so far.”
Pashinyan added that these proposals include solving the problem of the occupied territories of RA.
“Our position remains the same, that Azerbaijan should stop the occupation of the sovereign territories of the Republic of Armenia and its troops should be withdrawn from the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia. Despite all difficulties and complications, we continue our efforts to reach comprehensive solutions, to ensure peace and stability. As much as we understand the complexity of this mission, this does not change our attitude and purposefulness,” concluded Nikol Pashinyan.
