There is no and cannot be any political process going on behind the Armenians of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). Eduard Aghajanyan, Chair of the Standing Committee on Foreign Relations and an MP from the ruling majority “Civil Contract” Faction of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, stated about this during Friday’s press briefings in the NA.

He noted that the people of Artsakh are the most important beneficiaries of the negotiation process for the settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

Commenting on the statement adopted by the Artsakh parliament Thursday, Aghajanyan assumed that "Karabakh's colleagues have not fully understood the content of the speech of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia, which was voiced from the rostrum of the National Assembly.”

The MP of the ruling wing of Armenia could not find any other explanation for that statement.

"The whole current process is aimed at the implementation and protection of the legal rights of the people of Karabakh," Aghajanyan assured.

The parliament of Artsakh on Thursday discussed at a special sitting its statement addressed to the authorities of Armenia and Russia, as well as the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs. In it, the Karabakh MPs demand that Armenia’s authorities renounce their catastrophic position of giving up the interests of Nagorno-Karabakh. Earlier, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia had stated that the international community demands from the Armenian side to "lower the bar" on the Artsakh issue.
