The Catholicos of Armenia called on his compatriots to unite to save Nagorno-Karabakh

Türkiye and Israel continued their full support for Azerbaijan. The international community was content with only calls, and no one took concrete actions to help Armenia, noted Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia Aram I. “Therefore, Armenians need to stand up and unite, develop a new strategy. In the current geopolitical conditions, it is necessary to pursue a balanced policy, abandoning a unilateral position in international relations,” the Catholicos noted.

Today, a representative of Nagorno-Karabakh, following a meeting in Yevlakh, said that there is no final agreement with Baku, details need to be agreed upon. The representative of Baku, in turn, said that the negotiations could lead to the conclusion of a peace treaty that would end the conflict.

“At the meeting, formats for the reintegration of the Armenians of Karabakh with Azerbaijan were discussed. We think that this dialogue can have a positive impact on the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The two countries have begun discussing a peace treaty that could end decades of crisis and hostility,” the Baku spokesman said.
