The President of Azerbaijan stated that for many years, the basis of the Karabakh conflict negotiations was the handing over of the former Nagorno-Karabakh region, Karvachar and Lachin regions to the RA.
According to Aliyev, the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, represented by the USA, Russia and France, also insisted on this solution.
By the way, these ideas and positions are also seen in Pashinyan’s package of the Artsakh negotiation process published last year.
In fact, the main international actors defended Artsakh’s right to self-determination, negotiations were held in that direction for many years, but the Pashinyan government rejected that approach and handed over Artsakh to Azerbaijan.
