ArmInfo. RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan assures that everything has already been said about the negotiation process on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh  conflict.  Pashinyan stated this on April 13 in parliament, answering  a question from Sona Ghazaryan, MP of the Civil Contract faction.

The MP asked to what extent it is possible to declassify the  negotiation process. She also offered to publish the correspondence  of the participants in the process, noting that "people deserve to  know about the realities from the primary source hidden for years."

According to Pshinyan, in fact, there are no secrets left, since  everything has been said. "It remains to combine what has been said,  there are a couple of inaccuracies, to find out with documents which  circumstance is correct," Pashinyan said.

Referring to the MP's proposal to publish the correspondence and  conversations, the prime minister assured that there was no "rich  material" on this score, since not everything was recorded. "The  30-year- old negotiation process fits into one folder. But, of  course, there are many important records of conversations. But the  problem is that we, as a government, cannot do this," Pashinyan said,  noting that he does not consider it right to publish the negotiations  with officials from different countries.

Pashinyan recalled that at one time his opponents promised to publish  facts and documents. "They are not constrained by government 'bans',  let them publish them. I am not against them publishing what they are  talking about. I am convinced that what they publish will prove  exactly what we have been talking about all this time," he said. 

MP Ghazaryan recalled the so-called "Meghri exchange option". In  response, Pashinyan noted that this document became public in 2007,  it can even be found on the Internet. "In fact, the problem is not in  the content of the negotiations, because everything is published, but  in the unification and understanding of the internal relations  between the lines of the content of the negotiations. In fact, there  are no more secrets, we talked about everything, at least I talked  about everything said," the prime minister said.
