YEREVAN, MAY 3, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan disclosed some details of the ongoing negotiations with Azerbaijan in Washington. ARMENPRESS reports, during the parliament-Cabinet Q&A session, Pashinyan said that what is being discussed in Washington is exactly what he presented from the podium of the National Assembly last week.
"Yes, there is a document on the negotiation table and this is that document. You won't find anything new in that document, because I said about that document publicly from this rostrum. In other words, I have talked about the theses, as for details, you can get acquainted with what Azerbaijan presented, and get acquainted with our reaction," said Pashinyan, answering the question of Gegham Manukyan, MP from "Hayastan" faction, about what is being discussed in Washington.
To another question of Gegham Manukyan whether it is possible to sign a document in the near future as a result of the negotiations in Washington, for example, on June 1 in Chisinau, the Prime Minister answered that he would be very happy for it to happen.
"If it turns out that there is a document that is under consideration whether to sign it or not, it is not bad news, it is good news," Pashinyan said.
The Prime Minister also detailed about the instructions he gave to the negotiating team in Washington.
"I told the negotiating team in Washington that it’s me who will sign the document they are negotiating on. Talk freely within the framework of our publicly expressed opinions, but there is a trap here too. The negotiation process is a living process. In the process, new ideas may be born, new components may emerge," the Prime Minister noted.
