The Chairman of the Standing Committee on Foreign Relations of the National Assembly, Eduard Aghajanyan, referred to the statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov regarding the Almaty Declaration and answered the question of how he would interpret Lavrov's statement, because, according to Lavrov, it turns out that the issue of the status of Nagorno Karabakh is not an issue. can leave it to the future.

"I think there is no need to comment on Lavrov's statement. Armenia's position on the negotiations and the process, details, and details of the negotiations with Russia have been published. I think that neither Sergey Lavrov said anything new, nor I can add.

I think that by referring to the Almaty declaration by Armenia, no opportunity was lost, as a result, it does not mean that after a long time there will not be an opportunity to address the status. In fact, the offer to leave it for later was made by Russia, and the Armenian side agreed to it. It is believed that the assessment of its possibilities and impossibility, yes, should be made by Russia, depending on which document the Armenian side refers to, but also depending on the extent to which Russia, as a mediator, is able to make those proposals a reality, considering that the Armenian side has declared, including publicly, that it is in favor of that solution. It is assumed that Azerbaijan does not agree, but let's record that Armenia agreed, let's record that the offer was made. That question is not related to the Almaty document in any way, it is only related to how much our Russian partners can make that proposal a reality in the current situation," Aghajanyan emphasized.

Let us remind you that yesterday, on December 1, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that with the Alma-Ata Declaration, all Soviet states confirm the immutability of borders in the borders that existed during the USSR, and at that time Nagorno-Karabakh, unequivocally, It was part of Soviet Azerbaijan.

"And when it was approved by both Armenia, Azerbaijan, France, and Mr. Michel within the framework of the document that they recognize the Alma-Ata Declaration without preconditions, it certainly facilitates further work, because it solves the question of how to approach the status of Karabakh. It is not for nothing that the RA leadership has recently been talking more about status than about the need to ensure the rights of the Armenian population in Karabakh. The Azerbaijani side is ready for this, they are ready to provide guarantees of rights that other citizens of Azerbaijan have. And no one remembers the Minsk Group," Lavrov said.
