MP Tigran Abrahamyan of the opposition Pativ Unem bloc has reacted to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s latest “remarkable” statement on Artsakh claiming Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev “is not ready to grant broad autonomy to Karabakh.”
“Pashinyan, in fact, fleshed out his statement made a year ago that he had to lower the bar on Artsakh,” Abrahamyan wrote on Facebook on Saturday.
“The latter admitted that his statement did not refer to Artsakh’s right to self-determination or independence, but its AUTONOMY within Azerbaijan.
“In fact, these men [the Armenian authorities] seek Artsakh’s autonomy, but Azerbaijan doesn’t agree to it: that’s what negotiations are all about,” Abrahamyan stated.
