YEREVAN, APRIL 18, ARMENPRESS. There are various options of international mechanisms for dialogue between Stepanakert and Baku, ARMENPRESS reports, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said during the discussion of the report on the implementation process and results of the Government Action Plan 2021-2026 for the year of 2022 in the National Assembly.
Anna Grigoryan, MP from the "Armenia" faction, asked what international mechanism should be in place for the Baku-Stepanakert dialogue.
"There are various versions of the international mechanism. Azerbaijan says no, there should not be an international mechanism, because it is its internal matter. In 2017, the chief negotiator representing Armenia also said that the problem is that Azerbaijan says that it is its internal matter," the Prime Minister noted.
In the context of the events in Tegh village, Anna Grigoryan accused the Armenian authorities of inaction, noting that the Azerbaijanis come forward, deploy, and do not allow the Armenian side to carry out construction and engineering works. The Prime Minister replied that the MP's information about the situation in Tegh village is at least not complete, the events did not happen that way.
"It's not so that the Armenian side was not there. It is not that the Azerbaijanis did something, after which the Armenian side did something. It is not the case that the Armenian side does not carry out fortification works in its own territory. It is not the case that the Armenian side has not taken parts of the border under control. But it's also not so that there aren't problems there. There are problems there, and these problems are related to both certain activities and certain inactions. Those phenomena are very disturbing and problematic," said the Prime Minister
