"It has been long time you have been insisting Artsakh was left out of negotiations since 1998, during the period of Robert Kocharyan's presidency. I am not surprised at your statements blaming Kocharyan of leaving Artsakh out of negotiations as you declared once that you had learnt about the negotiations details from Aliyev. When do you plan to stop manipulating over this issue? When do you plan to finally visit Artsakh," Agnessa Khamoyan asked Pashinyan during the Q/A session at the National Assembly. 

In response, Pashinyan said: "Many Armenian officials have visited and continue visiting Artsakh over the past period. Visits by other officials will be organized based on expediency." 

Khamoyan next reminded of the January visit by former Armenian FM Ara Ayvazyan which resulted in Aliyev's threats to Armenian officials to refrain from visiting Artsakh. The opposition lawmaker noted that the former FM's visit was the last paid by any high-level Armenian official to Artsakh and repeated the question when Pashinyan himself would visit Artsakh.
