Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan spoke about “good and bad news about the Armenian-Azerbaijani peace process.”
Thus, according to him, the two countries managed to agree on the issue of the basic principles of the peace agreement. “This happened through the mediation of the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, as a result of my meetings with the President of Azerbaijan in Brussels,” Pashinyan said at the opening ceremony of the autumn session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Yerevan, TASS reports.
The Armenian prime minister called the fact that the parties still speak “different diplomatic languages” and very often do not understand each other as bad news. “There are objective reasons for this: a long-term conflict, thousands of victims, dozens of prisoners, an atmosphere of hatred that has reigned for decades and suspicions that bad intentions are hidden under constructive statements,” Pashinyan said.
He also said that some of Baku’s steps create the impression that it is preparing for new military operations against Yerevan. “It looks extremely suspicious that at the official level in Azerbaijan the Republic of Armenia began to be called Western Azerbaijan,” he explained.
Previously, Pashinyan stated that Armenia is ready to become closer to the EU “as much as possible.”
