ArmInfo. Azerbaijan's proposals concerning Artsakh's status are unacceptable, Artsakh  President Arayik Harutyunyan stated at his meeting with activists and  heads of communities in Martakert. 

"We understand we are neighbors, but we cannot submit. It is  inadmissible. We should be guided by the status quo option, as  Russians are saying. The Russian peacekeepers will stay here with no  time limits as hey have arrived here as guarantors of the Artsakh  Armenians' security.

"Living on here as de facto independent and seeking further de jure  changes – independence or joining Armenia – which I consider  unlikely. But it could be relations with Russia, vertical relations,"  Harutyunyan said. 

Speaking in Parliament on , Armenia's premier said:  "The international community is telling us straightforwardly now:   being the world's only country refusing to recognize Turkey's ally  Azerbaijan's territorial integrity is a great threat not only to  Artsakh, but also to Armenia. The international community is telling  us again now: request a lower status for Nagorno-Karabakh,  and you  will enjoy international unanimity on Armenia and Artsakh.   Otherwise, we request you not to hope for us not because we are  unwilling to help, but because we are unable to."
