We join the statement adopted by the Karabakh National Assembly. Andranik Tevanyan, an MP from the opposition "Armenia" Faction of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, stated this during Friday’s press briefings in the NA.

According to the lawmaker, thanks to that statement, the principle of "consensus minus one " was in fact approved in the parliaments of Armenia and Karabakh.

"In other words, Karabakh, on behalf of its parliament and the Armenian parliamentary opposition, is 100 percent against the approach that presupposes its [i.e., Artsakh’s] inclusion in Azerbaijan. They present this approach is in a very vague way, using various types of manipulations," Tevanyan said.

The parliamentarian said that the current authorities in Armenia have openly stated that the solution of the issue should satisfy the people of Karabakh, whereas the people of Karabakh are against such a decision and consider the incumbent authorities of Armenia illegitimate.

"We must do everything so that the principle of 'consensus minus [Armenia PM] Nikol Pashinyan' turns into a final political result; that is, that resolution must be capitalized in political terms, "the opposition MP concluded.

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.
