Armenian, Azeri FMs to meet in Washington next week, Pashinyan says
Nikol Pashinyan has insisted on Azerbaijan’s compliance with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) order to unblock the Lachin Corridor, the sole road in or out of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
“The legally binding decision of the International Court of Justice of February 22 must be implemented, and this is a matter of the international agenda, including the issue of the UN Security Council, because it is this body that is authorized to ensure the implementation of the ICJ decisions,” the Armenian premier told a cabinet meeting on Thursday.
He also called for the launch of an international mechanism for the Baku-Stepanakert dialogue, within the framework of which the issue of the rights and security of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh will be addressed.
“As for Armenia-Azerbaijan relations, our position remains the same: we must make every effort to establish peace and conclude an agreement on the normalization of relations. Next week, the meeting of the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan will take place in Washington, and our delegation is leaving for the United States with this in mind,” Pashinyan said.
“Armenia also proposed to Azerbaijan to hold a meeting of the delimitation commissions, and there is an agreement in principle to hold the meeting. Armenia is also ready to unblock the transport and economic routes of the region as soon as possible under the principles of sovereignty, jurisdiction and reciprocity of the parties,” he added.
