Armenia wants creation of the international mechanism of negotiations between Baku and Karabakh
Baku/14.02.23/Turan: Armenia supports holding negotiations between Karabakh and Baku within the framework of an internationally visible mechanism, and this mechanism can be mentioned in the peace treaty that the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides are currently working on, the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan stated on February 14 at a briefing in Yerevan.
“Armenia is in favor of holding talks between Stepanakert and Baku within the framework of an internationally visible mechanism. And Armenia continues to work with its international partners to make this mechanism work. This mechanism can be considered in the peace treaty that is being negotiated. These may be other international structures or a different format. While not concrete, this is a subject of discussion, we must continue the discussion to make it clear," Grigoryan said.
Armenia's approach remains that it is necessary to create an internationally visible mechanism for negotiations regarding the rights and security of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Armenian side received a response to the text of the peace treaty proposed by it. Now the Armenian side is working on it. The Secretary of the Security Council believes that the text will be ready as soon as possible and the Armenian side will pass it on to Azerbaijan. However, Grigoryan could not say how the transfer would take place.
Grigoryan gave a positive answer to the question whether there is a mention of Karabakh in the discussed and distributed text. However, the Secretary of the State Council stressed that it is important to take into account that this document is not final yet, negotiations are underway.
Grigoryan also dismissed Moscow's criticism that the West is forcing its presence in the region on the Armenian side. The deployment of the EU mission on the border with Azerbaijan was the decision of the Armenian side. According to him,
The CSTO guarantees did not work during the “aggression of Azerbaijan” in May 2021 and September 2022. “Given this experience, Armenia invited the EU civilian mission to create certain security guarantees,” Grigoryan said.-- 02D--
