ArmInfo.The meeting in Munich with the President of Azerbaijan is a turning point. The Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan stated this in an interview with  the Public Television Channel of Armenia. He explained his statement  by the fact that, starting with May 2018, Azerbaijan has been trying  to convince the international community that Armenia has a  destructive position on the issue of regulating the Karabakh issue. 

,- said the prime  minister.Secondly, Pashinyan emphasized that the meeting testifies to  the fulfillment of one of the most important promises given by it -  the absence of secrets from the people in the matter of the  negotiation process. , the head of the Armenian government emphasized.And  thirdly, according to him, a new content of the negotiation process  of the Karabakh issue was formed, which the prime minister  conditionally called "Munich principles"., the Prime  minister noted.

Referring to the next principle "There are no territories, there is  security>, Pashinyan remarked:" When we say that the status quo was  formed and the armed forces of Artsakh took control of the territory,  they did it not for pleasure, but for hopelessness – in order to lead  Azerbaijan's aggressive actions from Nagorno- Karabakh. Therefore,  the concept of "territory" is not discussed in this context>, he  said. Therefore, as the prime minister noted, if there is an  effective proposal to ensure this security, let the proposal be  submitted by Azerbaijan, the international community, and the  Armenian people will decide how acceptable it is.  , He stressed. In  particular, the issue of acceptability of the solution for the people  of Artsakh, Armenia and Azerbaijan relates to the next Munich  principle. Pashinyan emphasized that Armenia and Artsakh are ready to  make efforts to find such a solution, Azerbaijan should demonstrate a  similar willingness. In addition, the Prime Minister emphasized that  the Armenian side never spoke of readiness to cede territory. , he said. Referring to another  principle, Pashinyan noted that the Karabakh issue cannot be resolved  in one or two actions, micro-revolutions, mini- revolutions and a  breakthrough are needed here. "This should be built at the genetic  level, in people's minds," he concluded.
