‘As long as NK conflict is not solved, we must be ready for any development’, says Armenia’s Pashinyan
The negotiations for the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict should continue, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan told reporters in the Yerablur Military Pantheon, adding that at the same time it is necessary to be ready for any development,.
“The negotiations should continue, but we also should understand that as long as the conflict is not solved, we, as a state and people, must be ready for any development”, the PM said.
He also commented on the recent statement of Armenian defense minister Davit Tonoyan, according to which “territories for peace” format will no longer exist, he re-formulated it as “new territories in case of new war”.
“The scandal over Davit Tonoyan’s statement is nonsense. If he had made another statement, I would dismiss him. He stated that if war breaks out, our aspiration will be to win in the war. If the defense minister thinks something another, he should not work as defense minister. This in no way impacts the peaceful settlement process, quite the contrary, it highlights the importance of the peaceful settlement process”, Nikol Pashinyan said.
