Theoretically 2020 war could have been avoided by abandoning Armenian vision of NK resolution – Pashinyan

YEREVAN, JUNE 27, ARMENPRESS. Theoretically, war could have been avoided if Armenia abandoned its vision of a Nagorno Karabakh outside of Azerbaijani control, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told lawmakers on June 27 at the parliament selection committee on the 2020 war.

“We could have said that we abandon our vision of viewing Nagorno Karabakh outside of Azerbaijan and taken that path, which of course wouldn’t have guaranteed that it could be possible to avoid war,” Pashinyan said when asked whether or not he believes war was inevitable.

“I also want to speak about the crossroads of war, because the war conveyer was followed by crossroads of war with negotiations content, there were issues leading to war in the negotiations process. The crossroads of war were clarifications regarding Lachin Corridor which weren’t clarified in Kazan, and were less clarified afterwards, some discussion should have taken place there. The next crossroads of war was the process of the involvement of the so-called Armenian and Azerbaijani communities of Nagorno Karabakh, the next was the possible process of delimitation and demarcation as part of a peace treaty. I mean I am not saying that there was no theoretical chance of avoiding war, but that theoretical chance required a mandatory condition of abandoning the Armenian vision of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution which could have created a theoretical possibility of avoiding such developments,” Pashinyan said.

“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
