We put forward the issue of ensuring the security and rights of Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this during the Parliament-Government question-and-answer session.
“We think the number one interested party of that conversation should be the participant of the conversation. We are talking about the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. We hope that there is the understanding among the international community as well, that there should be an internationally visible conversation between the representatives of Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan, which should be about the rights and security of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. The fact that we agree to separate the issue of Armenia-Azerbaijan relations from addressing the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, the rights and security issues of Armenians, does not mean that we agree to remove that issue from the agenda.
I mean the issue of security and rights of Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. If we solve this issue, Armenia is ready to mutually sign a framework agreement on peace with Azerbaijan on the basis of territorial integrity and sovereignty,” said Pashinyan.
As for the opening of communications, Pashinyan noted that if the issue is not an opportunity for Azerbaijan to seek escalation, but to really create communications, then this issue can be considered resolved.
