Last year's events created a new reality in the region. Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said this during a briefing with the President of the European Council Charles Michel.
“It should be noted that the use of force and mass atrocities cannot resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the settlement of which is possible only through negotiations, within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing of the only international mandate.
In this context, I would like to mention the statement of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs on April 13, in which they called on the parties to resume high-level political dialogue under the auspices of the Co-Chairs at the earliest opportunity to achieve a final, comprehensive and lasting settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict based on well-known principles,” Pashinyan said.
Armenia’s Acting Prime Minister stressed that he had repeatedly publicly welcomed the announcement of the start of peace talks, emphasizing that Armenia was ready to resume talks, but Azerbaijan had not responded.
“According to information received from unofficial sources, Azerbaijan intends to provoke new military clashes in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, the expression of which we see today in the Nakhichevan section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border,” Pashinyan said.
According to the Acting Prime Minister, the incidents provoked by Azerbaijan also do not allow starting delimitation and demarcation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
