Pashinyan Accuses Baku of Being Unconstructive
Paris / 15.09.18 / Turan: If the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs want a settlement of the Karabakh conflict, first of all Azerbaijan should be called to order. This was stated by Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, who is visiting Paris.
"If Baku thinks that threats can force us to make concessions, it's wrong. Azerbaijan will not understand that today's Armenia is different; this is Armenia, around which the whole Armenian community has rallied, with its new potential. And aggressive actions of Azerbaijan will not be against Armenia or Artsakh, but against the Armenians, and they will meet a counterattack from the united Armenian nation," he said.
Pashinyan gave a negative answer to the question whether his meeting with the head of Azerbaijan on the settlement will be held.
He also said that he discussed the Karabakh issue with the French President.
"He asked if there was really an opportunity to seriously discuss the issue of solving the problem. In this regard, we exchanged views, and I told him that, from my point of view, the leadership of Azerbaijan is not so sincere when it talks about the settlement of the Karabakh conflict. This will be possible only if there is an atmosphere of settlement in the region. But we hear threats, and it's simply not realistic to talk about a settlement in such conditions," Pashinyan said. -02D-
