After Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a document under the auspices of the European Union that they recognize each other’s territorial integrity within the 1991 borders, this means that Karabakh is simply Azerbaijan. That's it. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference following the UN General Assembly.

“By the way, when they signed this document under the auspices of the European Union, they forgot to write there that, of course, it is necessary to ensure the rights of the Karabakh residents as national minority,” Lavrov noted.

According to him, when discussions began in the Armenian society about who gave Karabakh to whom and who did not give Karabakh to whom, the Chairman of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan “was not ashamed to say that Putin gave Karabakh to Azerbaijan back in November 2020, when we signed an agreement on the termination that 44-day war."

“Those agreements said that Karabakh is the zone of responsibility of the Russian peacekeeping contingent and it was implied - this was discussed during the negotiations - that the status of Karabakh is postponed and will be considered later,” the Russian FM emphasized.
