Pashinyan noted that there is no tangible progress in peace treaty, delimitation of borders, and opening of regional communication because Azerbaijan is using all these topics for territorial claims against Armenia.

Azerbaijan intends to seize new territories from Armenia, the PM noted.

The PM reflected on the large-scale military aggression of Azerbaijan against on September 13, noting that the Azerbaijani military shelled 36 Armenian residential areas and communities.

Pashinyan said as a result of this military aggression, the number of Armenian civilians and missing persons at the moment exceeded 207.

The PM also added that “one of the most important subjects of the peace treaty is bilateral recognition of territorial integrity between Armenia and Azerbaijan.”

In this regard, Pashinyan asked the Azerbaijani president to show the map of Armenia that he is ready to recognize as the Republic of Armenia.

“If Azerbaijan would recognize territorial integrity of Armenia and the integrity of our internationally recognized territory of 29.800 square kilometers, it would mean that we can sign a peace treaty by mutually recognizing each other’s territorial integrity,” the PM added.

Talking about the opening of regional transport communication links, the PM said that Azerbaijan is trying to represent Armenia as a destructive side in this discussion.

“We have shared packages of proposals with Azerbaijan on the topic of opening communications, and if Azerbaijan accepts that those routes must operate according to national legislations, we can decide on this very quickly,” Pashinyan added.

During his speech, Pashinyan also noted that one of the crucial factors of regional stability is the comprehensive settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict where the rights and the security of the Armenians living in NK will be addressed and guaranteed.

“The Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh are in need of the support of the international community”, the PM noted.

According to him, Azerbaijan stalls the repatriation of Armenian POWs, inter alia subjecting them to artificial trials in gross violation of international humanitarian law, its own commitments, and contrary to the calls of the international community
