Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan had a joint press conference after meeting with Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė.
To ‘Lurer’’s question “How do you think it is possible to open a peaceful era for the region, if Azerbaijan continues to provoke the border, put forward preconditions, not fulfill the November 9 statement, continuing to hold Armenians hostage and captive?” Pashinyan answered:
“We should be consistent with the agenda declared and adopted by us and present our visions on the solution of all issues. I want to note that the opening of regional communications is very important in this respect. Such scenarios for the unblocking of communications must be adopted which would not deepen the isolation of the countries and nations of the region from one another, but quite the contrary, will create conditions for peaceful coexistence. I must praise the fact that the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship, in fact, has started activating its operation,” the Armenian PM said.
In this context, he positively assessed the recent meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers in New York. Pashinyan reminded that Armenia has expressed its readiness to start the border demarcation and delimitation process with Azerbaijan.
