Deputy minister of energy of Iran Ali Reza Daemi recently told the press that the Armenian PM is planning to visit Iran, emphasizing that the Armenian-Iranian relations are “ example of friendship among followers of divine religions”.
“Armenia is preparing to sign a new agreement with the European Union. In addition, we’ve arrived here to not allow propaganda and anti-Armenian rhetoric during an event in which European lawmakers are also participating. Unfortunately, such rhetoric was allowed in certain speeches. However, it must be taken into consideration that we didn’t come here to discuss the Nagorno Karabakh conflict”, he said.
Garo Paylan arrived in Armenia on September 17 to take part in the 6th Armenia-Diaspora pan-Armenian forum.
In their turn the Congress delegation members presented the results of their visit to Artsakh and expressed readiness to continue making efforts aimed at developing the Armenian-American inter-state ties and peacefully and fairly settling the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
The Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA), said the purpose of the visit is to participate in an upcoming event of the agency on September 26.
The MP said he has discussed issues related to the Armenian-Turkish relations during his meetings with Armenian officials.
Members of national delegations of Euronest PA, European lawmakers, representatives of the diplomatic corps and international organizations of Baku will participate in the event.
This is what Azerbaijan has been doing for many years. As the President noted in his speech at the UN General Assembly two days ago – the important thing is the issue of Artsakh’s status. If the status issue gets a solution, then all remaining issues will be solved justly and reasonably, since all remaining issues are derivatives. I would also like to repeat what we’ve said numerous times, the solution of all these issued is only possible with the participation of Nagorno Karabakh.
To the question which territories might be the talks about, Artsakh’s FM mentioned that the territories that are inseparable part of Artsakh are part of Artsakh’s security system. “Any change that can jeopardize Artsakh’s security is inadmissible. Our pivotal goal is to ensure the security of the people of Artsakh and saying Artsakh we understand the entire territory of Artsakh”, Mirzoyan said.
To the question if the army will oppose the surrender of territories, Movses Hakobyan answered that the army will do whatever the political leadership decides. “Moreover, we need new and better territories that will ensure the security of Artsakh”, Hakobyan said.
