On October 19, a new idea was voiced as an additional condition for ending the war, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at the session of the National Assembly investigative committee.
"Peacekeepers should be deployed not only in Karabakh and along the Lachin Corridor, but also in Meghri to ensure the communication of the western regions of Azerbaijan with Nakhijevan. I did not agree to that either. I did not agree to the creation of a layer in the territory of the Republic of Armenia that is not under the control of the Republic of Armenia, that is, a corridor, saying that I agree with the road, but not with the corridor. In other words, my position was the same as before, that I think yes, the roads should be opened, yes, the western regions of Azerbaijan should have the possibility of communication with Nakhijevan, but it cannot be a corridor, and it should be under the sovereignty and jurisdiction of Armenia", said the Prime Minister.
He noted that the conditions for stopping the war in the context of the October 19 proposal were as follows:
"All seven regions come under the control of Azerbaijan, the question of the status of Nagorno-Karabakh is left uncertain, the territories of Nagorno-Karabakh that were already lost at that time remain under the control of Azerbaijan, and at that time significant territories of Nagorno-Karabakh were already under the control of Azerbaijan. Shushi is handed over to Azerbaijan, peacekeepers are stationed in Meghri, and a corridor is actually created, that is, a layer not under our control, connecting Azerbaijan to Nakhijevan. I could not agree to such conditions, no matter how much I understood the gravity of the situation", said Nikol Pashinyan.
