Possible peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan should have clear mechanisms for ruling out any escalation, Nikol Pashinyan, Armenian Prime Minister sadi during a Government sitting on April 27.
“The possible peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan must obviously have guarantees for implementation and a clear and functioning system for mechanisms of resolving disputes. The terms of border delimitation must be clearly stipulated, and clear mechanisms for ruling out any escalation must be introduced,” Prime Minister said.
He added that not allowing a further escalation and achieving comprehensive settlement requires concrete and sincere efforts by the Armenian side and the international community. Pashinyan said that Armenia will continue all possible efforts in this direction.
Pashinyan added that the need for a broader international presence in Nagorno-Karabakh and Lachin Corridor is becoming more pressing every day.
“Azerbaijan’s efforts for turning Nagorno Karabakh into a new [execution site] of Armenians must be stopped. And the only reliable way for doing so is the presence of representatives with broad international mandate in Nagorno Karabakh. As a first step, it is necessary to deploy an urgent international fact-finding mission to Lachin Corridor and Nagorno Karabakh,” Pashinyan said.
