Armenia acting PM: There is no and can’t be any confidential annex since this itself is a confidential working document

News.am, Armenia

I’m not sure whether this discussion will be helpful from the perspective of solving the posed questions, but it will surely be helpful from the perspective of informing the public. This is what acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said during today’s special session of the National Assembly.

“We all know what has been going on since May 12. I have touched upon the government’s evaluations and actions since then and would like to talk about the results. I still believe the aim of Azerbaijan’s actions was to incite a military clash on the border in the narrowest section of the sovereign territory of Armenia and start taking action in the depth of the territory of Armenia. By assessing the situation, the government decided to let the situation get out of hand and settle the issue through diplomatic means,” Pashinyan said and emphasized that Armenia’s efforts are effective because there is consensus over the situation among the international community, which is recording the unlawfulness of Azerbaijan’s actions and the need for Azerbaijan to leave the sovereign territory of Armenia.

Pashinyan informed that the European Parliament has adopted a resolution on the return of Armenian POWs and, at the last minute, made a supplement to the resolution in regard to the territorial integrity of Armenia.

Talking about the document on the demarcation and delimitation of the borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the acting premier stated that since Armenia doesn’t have diplomatic relations with Azerbaijan, the process needs to be implemented in the trilateral format. He added that there is no and can’t be any confidential annex since this document is itself a confidential working document.
