YEREVAN, MAY 2, ARMENPRESS. Armenia continues to insist on mechanisms for Stepanakert-Baku dialogue, Member of Parliament Arman Yeghoyan (Civil Contract) told reporters.

Asked whether Armenia would be ready to sign any document with Azerbaijan when the Azeri troops are located in sovereign territory of Armenia, Yeghoyan said that this is one of the most important points in the talks. He said that the withdrawal of the Azeri troops from sovereign territory of Armenia is among the terms of Armenia.

“We believe that no agreement can function without a strong international system of guarantees. This is the minimum bar that we must ensure. There must be some international guarantees, without it the treaty won’t function effectively,” Yeghoyan said.

The lawmaker added that Armenia will continue to insist on visible mechanisms for the Stepanakert-Baku dialogue.

Yeghoyan noted that the rhetoric of the international community has changed significantly, becoming better, more targeted and substantial for Armenia.

Speaking about the duration of the talks in Washington D.C., Yeghoyan said that the content is very voluminous and substantial, thus the long duration.

Asked whether or not a document could be signed after the talks in Washington D.C., Yeghoyan said that would depend on the course of the talks.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
