Main points from the remarks of Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during the “An update on Nagorno-Karabakh” event on margins of Munich Security Conference:
–
1. Nagorno-Karabakh gained its independence the same way as Azerbaijan did.
–
2. Nagorno-Karabakh is a party to the conflict and to the negotiations, it is impossible to resolve the conflict without negotiating with Nagorno-Karabakh.
–
3. It is not a matter of territories but security. Nagorno-Karabakh cannot compromise its security.
–
4. It is impossible to resolve the conflict with one or two moves: “micro revolutions”, then “mini revolutions” are needed, which will lead to a breakthrough.
–
5. Any solution to the issue must be acceptable to the people of Armenia, people of Nagorno-Karabakh and people of Azerbaijan. Both Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh are ready to make serious efforts to find such a solution. Similar willingness must also be demonstrated by Azerbaijan.
–
6. There is no military solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. If anyone claims there is a military solution, then the response of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh can be: “In that case the conflict has long been resolved.”
