PM Pashinyan highlights need for international system of guarantees in possible peace treaty with Azerbaijan
The possible peace treaty with Azerbaijan must include a relevant system of guarantees that would maintain the terms of the treaty, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told reporters in parliament on April 20, ARMENPRESS reports.
At the same time, he said that in the present-day international situation no country can clearly guarantee anything, including in relation to its security.
Asked why Armenia should sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan if even international guarantees are no guarantees, Pashinyan said: “First of all it’s not yet a fact that we will sign [it]. I hope and I am ready to sign within the framework of the issues that I have raised. And if we are signing, then we are signing it because without doing so it is guaranteed that everything will be the way we don’t want it to be. While by signing it the probability that it won’t happen that way increases significantly,” PM Pashinyan said, explaining that possible negative developments in the event of not signing a treaty will be worse than the possible negative developments in the event of signing it.
The Armenian Prime Minister added that Azerbaijan is now in euphoria and is making provocative statements seeking to make Armenia give in to these provocations.
Pashinyan said that the April 19 statement by the foreign ministry is a response to these provocative statements and that he himself will respond when needed.
