We will not do it alone on the way to making peace, Russia will be involved in this process, I believe Russia is also interested, and officially Russia has repeatedly stated that it is interested in the establishment of peace in our region. Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia, Armen Grigoryan, stated about this on Public TV, answering the program host's question as to what will happen when Armenia achieves peace with Azerbaijan, after which Azerbaijan will say that there is no need for a Russian presence in the region.
"Russia will be involved, and the security guarantees we are thinking about, we see Russia's participation also in the construction of that security architecture. And I believe that in case of a long-term solution, such an issue should not arise," he said.
To the remark that Azerbaijan will nonetheless go in that direction and tell Russia that there is no need for its presence in the region anymore, responded by saying that it is necessary to understand what security guarantees we will use to achieve a solution to the issue.
"We must think about those security guarantees. If we think about it, then there should be an international presence in terms of security guarantees—at least for a while. And I believe that Russia should also be interested in the settlement of the issue in the long run. There is also an active involvement of Russia here; I believe such issues should not arise in Russia itself," he said.
The program host asked who is managing the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process. In response, Armen Grigoryan said that it is managed by Armenia and Azerbaijan, while Russia, the EU, and the US provide support to resolve the issue.
"Of course, there are some disagreements within the framework of the [OSCE] Minsk Group due to the geopolitical issues created. But globally, Yerevan and Baku are naturally the primary responsible for this process, and we are trying to find solutions," he said, adding that the direct Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue will be continuous.
