The Prime Minister of Armenia in an interview with TASS gave an assessment of the internal political situation in the country after the signing of a joint statement by the leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia.

“The is that the calls made by the opposition have not received wide publicity in the Armenian society. And I think that the issue of power, which was formed by the people, can only be decided by the will of the people. The fact is that the calls made by the opposition do not receive support from the Armenian society. This needs to be stated,” he said.

“Now the primary task of the government and all political forces of the Republic of Armenia should be the restoration of complete stability and security of the Republic of Armenia. I mean not only internal security, but also external one,” he added.

“I have published a roadmap for a six month period, and over the next six months we must work to stabilize the situation. I mean the political situation, the security situation, economic stability. After that, we will consult with our society, people, political forces and make a decision on further events and further steps, what we should do next”

“This does not mean that everyone is happy with the current situation in the context of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and so on. But, to be honest, I am also not very happy, we are all unhappy with the situation that we have. But we need to understand what alternatives we have.”

“Now we are faced with many questions about the return of the citizens of Artsakh - Nagorno-Karabakh to their homes. It is necessary to provide some social guarantees for the citizens of Nagorno-Karabakh and those people who have lost their homes. We need to stabilize the socio-economic situation in Armenia.”
