Artsakh Republic President Arayik Harutyunyan, who is in France on a working visit, gave a press conference in Paris on December 7, which was attended by about two dozen leading French media. As ARMENPRESS was informed from the Office of the President of Artsakh, the President of the country presented the goals of his visit to France, noted the regular and frequent manifestations of aggressive behavior by Azerbaijan towards the people of Artsakh, the creation of humanitarian problems in a regular manner, listed the challenges that pose a serious threat to the existence of the people of Artsakh in their own homeland. According to President Harutyunyan, through France, he wants to send a message to all European states to take measures to prevent the above-mentioned brazen behavior of Azerbaijan, which is undoubtedly supported by Turkey.
On December 7, no incidents were recorded in the area of responsibility of the peacekeeping troops carrying out a mission in Nagorno-Karabakh. This is reported from the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation
During the NA-Government question-and-answer session, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan referred to the CSTO summit and Armenia's expectations. "Our expectation was two things. The first is to determine the area of responsibility of CSTO in RA. This is a fundamental question for building the right relationship. The second expectation was to give a clear political assessment of what happened.
Within the framework of the CSTO, the issue of providing military-technical assistance to Armenia was also considered, but the primary thing for Armenia is the political assessment, the recording of the fact by the allies, ARMENPRESS reports Minister of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan said during the parliament-Cabinet Q&A session, referring to the question of Lilit Minasyan, MP from "Civil Contact" faction.
Armenia does not have any armed formation in the territory of Nagorno Karabakh, the Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan said. He said that Nagorno Karabakh maintains its Defense Army, whose mission is the self-defense of the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh because a threat of ethnic cleansing exists. FM Mirzoyan made the remarks in parliament when asked by Member of Parliament Arman Yeghoyan.
Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan says he is not sure that it will be possible to have a more or less final version of the peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan by the end of this year. He stated that the negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan continue. There are unacceptable parts for the sides, and there are parts where the sides can take steps toward each other. As of now, no meeting between the foreign ministers is planned by the end of the year.
Hungary shouldn’t have extradited Ramil Safarov – the convicted murderer of Armenian military officer Gurgen Margaryan – and Armenia’s assessment over this matter has not changed, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said. He added that at the same time, there are many positive examples displayed by Hungary that should be remembered and appreciated.
Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan commented on Azerbaijan’s recent provocation when the latter blocked the road linking Armenia with Artsakh, leaving Artsakh in the blockade. Asked by Member of Parliament Arman Yeghoyan during question time, Mirzoyan said that the closure of the Lachin corridor would constitute a gross violation of the November 9 statement. However, as a result of negotiations conducted by the Russian peacekeeping command, the issue was swiftly resolved.
The issue of opening the Yeraskh-Ordubad-Meghri-Horadiz railway was discussed, I cannot say whether we have a particular result, unfortunately, but I want to reaffirm that RA is ready and interested in the implementation of the project. Our proposal remains valid and RA is ready to start the restoration of the railway a day earlier. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this today, December 7, during the NA question-and-answer session.
On December 7, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan received US Ambassador Lynn Tracy, who is completing his diplomatic mission in Armenia, RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports. The interlocutors emphasized with satisfaction the positive dynamics in RA-US relations, including active political dialogue.
