“Have we limited us in relating to EU in doing trade, socializing, making investments, by membership to EEU?—of course, not. In other Government actions plans the EU is on the same place. Moreover, we rather openly talked to our EU partners, who also expressed such a concern.”
In reply Armenian Premier Karen Karapetyan said, “I’m not sure that the deal will be concluded very soon, however, even in case of the deal I don’t observe a risk. As a 25% shareholder of the pipeline providing transit, we don’t observe any risk, that the Georgian side will behave not in accordance with the agreement.”
“Why am I against? I consider this isn’t a solution, as I think it fosters people’s approaches that they may escape to another country and then be back and pay the money. As a Defense Minister I can’t be enthusiastic about it,” the Minister said.
The Armenian Premier gave a laconic answer, “Yes”. Afterwards the PM stated again the gas tariff will not rise after election and Armenia will not compensate with any strategic facility.
“And we’ve also called for a full and frank acknowledgement of the facts of what happened around those deaths. And that remains our policy. I don’t want to get into terminology or how we referred to it. We acknowledged that 1.5 million Armenians were massacred, as I said, and we want to see a full historical accounting of those events.”
“I don’t consider Germany’s co-chairmanship completely lost, as two presidential meetings have been launched in that period, proposals, security mechanisms have been submitted, around which works still continue in OSCE. If a meeting is launched in Hamburg, maybe it’ll be possible to come to an agreement around these proposals,” Rahr said.
After spending time with people in Nagorno-Karabakh, it’s clear to me that the only way the nation will ever again be a part of Azerbaijan is if Azerbaijan conquers it. And despite Azerbaijan’s being vastly larger, I can’t imagine that ever will happen. Armenians had lived on this land for centuries before it was incorporated into Azerbaijan.
While on a working visit to the USA, Prime Minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arayik Harutyunyan on December 5 had a meeting with the leaderships of two Armenian organizations in Washington and took part in the reception organized in the Armenian Embassy.
The Ministry’s announcement reads: “Overnight December 6-7 the Azerbaijani side violated the ceasefire regime over 35 times by firing more than 400 shots from various caliber small arms at the Armenian positions in the Nagorno Karabakh-Azerbaijan line of contact.
We have always raised the issue of buildings and forgot about the human losses who must have restored this economy. We have lost a serious generation and now we feel this gap.
