Pashinyan: Armenia will not fight for Nagorno-Karabakh

Armenia is not going to fight a war for Karabakh. The country has no ambitions beyond its internationally recognized borders. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this in an interview with representatives of the British media.

“We must consistently promote the peace agenda as it is the key to ending hostilities. This process should be based on three main principles: mutual recognition of sovereignties, using the Alma-Ata Declaration as the basis for delimitation and opening transport routes based on the jurisdiction of the respective countries,” Pashinyan shared.

He recently noted that for the first time, Armenia and Azerbaijan resolved the issue at the negotiating table. Thus, Pashinyan commented on the agreements on the first stage of delimitation and the return of four Azerbaijani villages.

Let us recall that the Kremlin confirmed the withdrawal of the Russian military contingent from Nagorno-Karabakh, which was there on a peacekeeping mission by agreement between Baku, Yerevan and Moscow. More than two thousand Russian military peacekeepers have been in the part of Karabakh not controlled by Azerbaijan since September 2020. This tenure was determined until 2025.

In September 2023, Azerbaijan took full control of Karabakh, which became its sovereign territory. More than 120 thousand ethnic Armenians were forced to leave for Armenia.
