International Community Tells Us: 'Enough with the Weekly Complaints About Ceasefire Violations. Our Nerves Can't Take It Anymore,' Says Prime Minister

Opening an era of peaceful development will not be easy, announced Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in the National Assembly. “We need strong nerves. Unfortunately, the opening of an era of peaceful development does not solely depend on us. There will be actions aimed at proving to our public that an era of peaceful development is possible,” he said.

Pashinyan stated that Armenia's voice on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has been lost in international platforms. “We need to find solutions. But what our position is does not mean that any solution will be acceptable for us, nor does it mean that any solution we envision will be acceptable for the other side or the international community,” he remarked.

When asked why there has been no success in the negotiations over the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, Pashinyan clarified his prior statement: “Because our perceptions have not been understandable to the international community, and I’m not even talking about Azerbaijan; the perceptions of the international community have not been acceptable to us either.”

He emphasized that one thing has not been considered: the international community is not interested in a solution favorable to Armenia regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, but rather in a resolution of the problem. “Forgive me for being blunt, but let’s assume the meeting is behind closed doors, and only Armenia can hear. The international community tells us and Azerbaijan: ‘Enough with the weekly complaints about ceasefire violations, stop blaming each other. Honestly, go talk to each other, we can’t take it anymore because we have our own problems, especially now with climate change, the coronavirus, and countless other issues. Why do you think the whole world should sit and constantly live with your worries? Perhaps you should also deal with your own concerns and pains a little,’” Pashinyan declared. He underlined that there is no solution for Nagorno-Karabakh that favors either Armenia or Azerbaijan; there is either a solution or no solution at all.
