If there is such a context that the government is not able to take responsibility and it should be helped to take responsibility, I can say that the government, and I personally are aware of the responsibility for the fate of the country, and we are ready to take that responsibility, and we received that responsibility from our people. RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this in an interview with the Public Television Company, speaking about the context of the discussions between the former presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

"There is an opinion that a narrow circle of people is aware of the negotiation process. It is a misunderstanding, because a wide range of people is aware of the negotiation process, even at the level of sentences, not only our teammates - the Civil Contract faction, the Security Council, the Artsakh authorities are fully aware," Pashinyan added.

Pashinyan emphasized that the President of Nagorno-Karabakh is not unaware of any sentence he uttered and heard in any negotiation. The Prime Minister expressed confidence that the President of the Republic of Armenia, in turn, informs at least the Security Council and former high-ranking officials.

"I want to emphasize that, in my opinion, part of the members of the consultation [with the participation of the former presidents of Armenia and Artsakh] are fully aware of the negotiation process, and the other part always had the opportunity to be aware, because I have always expressed my willingness, in particular, to the parliamentary opposition. to present the negotiations in full to the representatives.

Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, who are respectively the leaders of the two factions, refused to receive this information. The party led by Levon Ter-Petrosyan also, in fact, refused to receive that information," Pashinyan said.

He informed that he regularly informs a wide range of the expert community about these discussions.

Regarding responsibility, Pashinyan commented:

"The authorities, the government, and I personally are ready to take responsibility. During the 44-day war, when I convened an extended session of the Security Council, I invited the representatives of extra-parliamentary forces, at that time I informed them about possible actions, but I noted that I did not invite you to share the responsibility, but I just consider it necessary to inform you because through you I also inform our people.

We have not avoided responsibility and we do not avoid it. If there are political forces that would like to contribute to establishing long-term peace around Armenia, they can contribute, the information is not closed to those forces, it is closed in terms of format," the Prime Minister said.
