One of the Co-Chair Countries Responded to My Proposal on Syunik: Nikol Pashinyan

One of the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group has responded to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's proposal regarding Syunik, suggesting that the armies of Azerbaijan and Armenia should withdraw to their initial positions, while the troops of Russia or the co-chairing countries of the Minsk Group should be deployed along the border.

Pashinyan made this statement during a meeting with the active members of the pre-election headquarters of the Civil Contract party in Yerevan. He expressed hope that other co-chairing countries of the Minsk Group would also respond to the proposal. "Now, the forces of both sides can withdraw without preconditions, and our villagers can graze their livestock there," Pashinyan said.

According to him, they are sometimes accused of being weak, but if this is weakness, it is thanks to it that a civil war has not occurred. He stated that if they had responded to the wave that arose after the trilateral declaration in the same manner, a civil war would have been inevitable.
