“The situation has already transcended the region, I mean the conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region,” he told Russian television.
According to the Armenian Prime Minister, since the conflict involves “international radicals and terrorists, it is already endangering all the countries of the greater region.” “And this is a hotbed of global security,” Pasinian added.
He also said that Turkey’s involvement in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is changing the context of events. “Turkey returned to the South Caucasus one hundred years later for two reasons: to continue with its genocide policy in Armenia and its imperial policy,” said the head of the Armenian government.
According to Pashin, Armenia can recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh if it helps to resolve the conflict.
“The question is: if our analysis leads to the conclusion that this will help Nagorno-Karabakh and contribute to the settlement, we will take that step. Otherwise, we will refrain from making that decision.
We are now considering it. Of course, we also take into account the need to be as constructive as possible members of the international community, “he said, asking whether Armenia’s decision to recognize Nagorno-Karabakh would help resolve the conflict or only worsen the situation.
The situation in Nagorno-Karabakh became complicated again on September 27, with clashes in the disputed area. Military state imposed on Azerbaijan and Armenia, announced the mobilization. Both parties report deaths and injuries, including civilians. Baku claims that its army occupied several villages and strategic highlands in Nagorno-Karabakh. Yerevan denies this information and reports that shots are also being fired against Armenian territory.
The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh began in February 1988, when the Nagorno-Karabakh Armenian Autonomous Region declared its withdrawal from the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic. In September 1991, the establishment of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic was announced at the Stepanakert Autonomous Administrative Center. In the wake of the military conflict, Azerbaijan lost control of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Negotiations for a peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem have been under way since 1992, but have so far failed.
