News - Yerevan chose not to implement what it signed – Zakharova

At the beginning of 2022, Yerevan had in its hands three trilateral statements by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia dated November 9, 2020, January 11 and November 26, 2021, which were a political and practical road map of how to peacefully, mutually respectfully and thoroughly build life in the region, taking into account the interests of all parties. Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova wrote about this in the telegram channel. “Yerevan chose not to implement what it signed, but to seek its happiness from NATO/EU. It was through the mediation of Brussels and the main adviser - Paris - that on October 6, 2022, at the summit in Prague, a Statement was adopted following the results of a quadripartite meeting of the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia, France and the EU. It literally says: “Azerbaijan and Armenia reaffirm their commitment to the UN Charter and the Alma-Ata Declaration of 1991, through which they recognize each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.” That is, Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan. At the same time, there is not a word in the text about the need to ensure the rights and safety of the region’s residents. On October 7, 2022, it was officially published. This became Yerevan’s final solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. Why Nikol Pashinyan and the Armenian authorities did exactly this, why Paris and Brussels pushed official Yerevan to do this? These questions should be asked to them,” she wrote.
