The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia doesn’t know if there is a document or not, and it doesn’t have any information about the particular document. This is what acting nDeputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Avet Adonts told reporters in Syunik Province today.
According to him, the events are developing dynamically, and the addressee is the Government of Armenia.
“As acting Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, that’s all I can say. I haven’t seen the document and haven’t participated in the discussions,” he emphasized.
The official explained that representatives of the country’s power structures are the ones who are mainly leading the negotiations over the situation at Sev Lake.
“We are aware that the Azerbaijanis didn’t come yesterday. We’ll see what happens. Today’s processes are an encroachment on the sovereignty of Armenia and violate the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia. The Armed Forces of Azerbaijan must leave the territory of Armenia. This is a mandatory step to continue the negotiations,” Adonts added and welcomed the decision of the head of the EU delegation and ambassadors of EU countries to visit Syunik Province.
Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Armenia Andrea Wiktorin and EU countries’ ambassadors visited Syunik Province and the area near Sev Lake, as well as met with Governor of Syunik Province Melikset Poghosyan.
The President of Armenia has not been and is not involved in the processes and discussions related to the alleged document. This is stated in the statement issued by the Staff of the President of Armenia.
The statement also states the following: “Therefore, the President is absolutely unaware of the document, much less the specifics. The President of Armenia is certain that such processes need to be maximally public and need to be held through the involvement of all interested parties.”
Acting PM Nikol Pashinyan said Thursday he is negotiating a new document with Azerbaijan and Russia.
The paper was first published by Armenia's former ambassador to the Vatican Mikayel Minasyan. According to the latter, Pashinyan was going to sign a new agreement that would damage the interests of the country.
The acting PM also noted that Armenia has reached some agreements with its international colleagues. According to him, those solutions are 100% in line with the interests of Armenia.
Pashinyan added that he would not publish the document to be signed because it was not correct to publish a working document.
