According to Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, there is no alternative to the peace agenda.
First, he spoke about the agreements reached as a result of the trilateral meeting held in Brussels on April 6.
“Yes, I have agreed that the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan will begin preparations for a peace agreement. What does this mean in practice, what schedule, what format, it still needs to be discussed and decided. But signing a peace treaty with Azerbaijan as soon as possible, yes, is part of our plans.
However, I must say that we do not have illusions here either, because we do not rule out that Azerbaijan will try to bring the peace talks to a deadlock as soon as possible, making it an occasion for new aggression and aggressive actions against Armenia and Artsakh. We have the same calculation, by the way, in connection with delimitation works, because we do not rule out that Azerbaijan will use this process to formulate territorial claims against Armenia,” Pashinyan said.
According to the Prime Minister, understanding and calculating all the risks and challenges, they came to the conclusion that standing at the same point, not ensuring some progress in the process, not only does not reduce, but also exacerbates the risks.
