“It just came to our attention then. There is also the option to sign a strategic cooperation agreement between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, there is an opportunity to sign a security and defense cooperation agreement,” he said during a meeting with Russian journalists in Yerevan. .
According to the Armenian Prime Minister, options are being considered and decisions will be made “depending on a few factors”.
Pasinyan also said that Armenia did not yet intend to contact the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) about the situation in the Karabakh conflict zone.
According to him, Armenia will guarantee their safety in every way. “With or without the CSTO, this is another matter. We are considering all possibilities to ensure our safety depending on the situation and the general political context,” said N. Pašinian.
September 27, an official in Baku said that the Armenian armed forces were firing intensively at the Azerbaijani army positions. For his part, Yeravan announced that the Azerbaijani armed forces launched an offensive in the direction of Nagorno-Karabakh and fired at the settlements of the unrecognized republic, as well as its administrative center, Stepanakert. Both parties report deaths and injuries, including civilians. The Armenian government has declared a military position and the mobilization of reserve troops. Azerbaijan also decided to introduce a military position throughout the country.
The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh began in February 1988, when the Nagorno-Karabakh Armenian Autonomous Region declared its withdrawal from the Azerbaijani Soviet Socialist Republic. In September 1991, the establishment of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic was announced at the Stepanakert Autonomous Administrative Center. As a result of the military conflict, Azerbaijan lost control of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Negotiations for a peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem have been ongoing since 1992, but have so far failed.
