Pashinyan has once again demonstrated his personality of a liar and manipulator, third Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said, referring to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's statements today.

"The person occupying the chair of the Armenian Prime Minister in today's speech in the National Assembly once again showed all his essence of a liar and manipulator. He again lies and tries to mislead the public when speaking about the negotiation process on the Karabakh conflict.

Throughout my term, I have never negotiated a stage-by-stage solution to the Karabakh conflict.

Either the Prime Minister of Armenia has not yet understood the difference between the stage-by-stage and package options, or he has used his main weapon - manipulation.

I have publicly mentioned several times the difference between the stage-by-stage and package options, and I have also explained in detail that the package option can't be implemented in a day or an hour, but must be solved stage-by-stage. Let him reread the interviews I gave at various times, however difficult it may be for him to understand the difference between the two options and the specifics.

By the way, what I said on the above-mentioned topic was confirmed by the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group. I am not even talking about the confessions of Aliyev, who was described by him as 'constructive'," Sargsyan said.
