Baku/14.09.22/Turan: Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Wednesday that as a result of the hostilities on September 12-13, Azerbaijan "occupied" 10 square meters. kilometers of the territory of Armenia. Prior to this, on May 12 of this year, Azerbaijan "captured" 40 square kilometers, he said to the deputies of Armenian parliament.
“I took on the responsibility of making difficult decisions in the name of peace. But difficult decisions do not mean decisions that are contrary to the state interests of Armenia. We must make decisions to guarantee security, lasting stability and peace in the Republic of Armenia," he said.
"We want to sign a document, because of which many will criticize us, many will curse, many will call us "traitors", and the people may even decide to remove us from power. However, we will be satisfied if, as a result, the Republic of Armenia with an area of 29 800 square kilometers will receive lasting peace and security.
The solution that this will provide, I say very clearly, I will sign. I do not care what will happen to me, I`m interested in what will happen to Armenia,” - Pashinyan said.
He stressed that Armenia will not sign a peace agreement if Azerbaijan does not liberate the "captured" lands. He also noted that the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan should pass along the borders of the former USSR.
Armenia would not provide a corridor through its territory, under any circumstances. At the same time, at a meeting in Brussels, Armenia presented its proposals to Azerbaijan on opening communications, Pashinyan said, without revealing what they are.-02B-
