Pashinyan opposes the participation of the Azerbaijani community of Karabakh in the negotiations
Baku / 12.02.19 / Turan: If Azerbaijan prepares its people for war, the reaction of Armenia should be equivalent, said the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on February 12, speaking in parliament.
He stressed that Azerbaijan is more inclined to resolve the issue in military way.
"The Armenian side sees the solution of the Karabakh conflict by peaceful means, but this does not mean that Armenia should not be ready for war," the premier said. He believes that for a peaceful settlement of the problem it is necessary first to create an atmosphere of peace.
"Today, the atmosphere of peace in the region has not been created due to the aggressive rhetoric of Azerbaijan. If we expect that Azerbaijan will stop its rhetoric, naturally, for our part, we must fix our non-aggressive position," Panarmenian website quotes Pashinyan.
According to him, Karabakh should take part in the negotiations to resolve the conflict. However, Azerbaijan is proposing this to include the Azerbaijani community of Karabakh in the talks.
According to Pashinyan, the interests of the Azerbaijani community are represented by the Azerbaijani authorities, and they always participated in the negotiations.
"Our government clearly states that it does not have the mandate and authority to represent the people of Karabakh for the simple reason that Karabakh did not give the Armenian authorities a mandate to do so. -02D-
