There are no conditions left in Yerevan … – 24 hours

“The international community is openly talking about the danger of Azerbaijan, Turkey’s ally, being the only country that does not recognize its territorial integrity.” That’s it parliament Speaking at the meeting, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said. O, deputies snowspoke quite openly in the glass and He said there was no other way but to accept the conditions of Azerbaijan:

Today, the international community is telling us to lower the “bar” in the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. With this you are Armenia and You will have greater international consolidation around Artsakh. Otherwise, please do not rely on us, we can not help you. But you can create conditions to help “.

Pashinyan stated that, International partners say that Yerevan’s current position is a great threat not only to Artsakh, but also to Armenia itself. According to him, today there are few countries in the world that are not satisfied with their borders. That is why Pashinyan assured that, He is forced to reiterate that there is no alternative to the peace agenda for Armenia.

The Prime Minister then spoke about the Turkish-Armenian talks. He said that, All risks in discussions with Yerevan and Ankara and understands the traps. But at the same time, it is necessary to continue negotiations with Turkey and establish a dialogue. Pashinyan also thinks so that, Everything must be done to avoid a stalemate in negotiations with Turkey. According to him according toArmenia understands that the process will not be so fast and informs its international partners: “But without these rapid results, there is a danger of stagnation. His snowYou need to take small steps to get the bottle “.

The Prime Minister also stressed it that, The process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations has the full support of international partners: “It simply came to our notice then that, to the scale of support and We need to be extremely careful with our tools, because we are talking about bilateral relations. “.

Recall that, in Brussels on 6 April Europe It was stated at the meeting between the President of Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of Armenia, mediated by the Union, that significant progress had been made. The parties agreed to establish a joint commission to clarify the borders by the end of April. Pashinyan said today that, members will be appointed to this body. Armenia also stated that it accepted the five-point basic principles put forward by Azerbaijan. The parties to this document snowRecognition of territorial integrity, non-use of force and clarification of borders, opening of communications.

Following these statements, the Pashinyan government is openly facing increasing pressure from the pro-Russian opposition at home. Yesterday, their representative, former Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan, tried to come to Khankendi with a group of colleagues. Of Azerbaijan Russia They were not allowed to enter Karabakh from the Lachin corridor after a stern warning to peacekeepers.

Before that, Azerbaijan and The first telephone conversation was held between the Armenian Foreign Ministers. The parties discussed the implementation of the agreements reached at the Brussels meeting.

Yesterday, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev also had a telephone conversation with ministers at a government meeting and In general, he praised the progress of the process and the reaction of the international community:

“Europe Our contacts with the Union became more intensive after the war. Europe The union also accepted the realities of the post-conflict period. December at the initiative of the President of the Council of the European Union, Mr. Charles Michel and April Trilateral meetings were held in Information was provided about the meetings, I do not want to talk much about this issue. But of course that, both experts and the Azerbaijani public saw it that, There is no name “Nagorno-Karabakh” in the final communiqué, which is natural. Because Azerbaijan is against it protest hit and There is no word “conflict”. This is natural, because there is no conflict. The conflict has been resolved. Now the European Union is working to normalize Azerbaijani-Armenian relations and son April at the meeting – 6 April These issues were discussed at the meeting.

Ilham Aliyev later said that, The Armenian side also welcomes the 5 principles proposed by Azerbaijan to normalize relations between the two countries: “I made it clear at the meeting in Brussels that, Armenia adopts 5 principles. Thus, the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is accepted and Armenia renounces territorial claims to Azerbaijan That is, if it adopts these 5 principles – it was confirmed at the April meeting – these issues are part of these 5 principles. This is a very positive thing and I consider that, is a key condition for the normalization of bilateral relations. Agreed that, Establish working groups on both the border and the drafting of a peace agreement. As you know, Azerbaijan these days and I think it is among the Armenian foreign ministers that, Recently, for the first time in 30 years, there was a telephone conversation. We also appreciate it. Because the relations between the two countries must be resolved by two countries. Those who want to help should help. This is how I see it, this is our position. I consider that, The working groups to be formed by the end of April on the delimitation of the border, as well as the working groups on the preparation of a peace agreement, should begin their work soon. We look at this process with great hopes and no need to waste time “.

Thus, there are no antagonistic points in the statements made at the highest level by both Yerevan and Baku. In particular, for the first time, the position of the Armenian leader corresponds to the real situation of the post-war period and This also satisfies Azerbaijan.

The course of events will show how smooth the process will be. because Russia and its extensions in Armenia, as well as the Armenian lobby in the West, are concerned about Pashkina’s constructive position. In the coming days in Yerevan and It is not excluded that new provocations will take place in the positions in Karabakh…
