According to the Prime Minister, "it is vital to form international mechanisms guaranteeing a peace treaty, otherwise a new war or a new escalation may break out the next day after the signing of the agreement"

YEREVAN, April 18. /TASS/. A peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan is possible only if the two countries recognize each other’s territorial integrity, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in the parliament on Tuesday.

"A peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan will become real if the two countries clearly, without ambiguities and pitfalls, recognize each other’s territorial integrity and agree on never having territorial disputes in the future. I confirm that the Republic of Armenia fully recognizes the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, and we expect Azerbaijan to do the same, recognizing the territory of the former Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic as belonging to the Republic of Armenia," he pointed out.

According to the head of the Armenian Cabinet of Ministers, "it is vital to form international mechanisms guaranteeing a peace treaty, otherwise a new war or a new escalation may break out the next day after the signing of the agreement".

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
