The separatist leader crossed out the expectations that arose after meeting in Khojaly today

Baku/01.03.23/Turan: A couple of hours after the meeting of Baku representatives with the Armenians of Karabakh in Khojali, separatist leader Araik Harutyunyan made a number of statements that put an end to the prospect of a peaceful settlement. 

Thus, at the meeting of the "government" Harutyunyan introduced the new "state minister" Gurgen Nersisyan.

"I want to emphasize once again that despite the difficulties and pressure exerted on us, we will remain true to the ideas of the Artsakh movement and will not take a single step back from the path of independence. I want to state with all responsibility that any integration process with Azerbaijan is excluded. However, this does not mean that we will avoid contacts in order to solve infrastructure and humanitarian problems. And for negotiations on the settlement of the conflict, as I indicated in my message of February 23, it is necessary to provide certain conditions and an international format," he said. ---02D---
