The Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, called the statements of the President of Azerbaijan, which contain territorial ambitions for Armenian sovereignty, very dangerous.
During the briefing held in the government on March 19, the head of the executive emphasized that this process requires competent management and an exclusively legitimate, state-centered approach. Answering the question about the methods of combating such aggressive rhetoric, the Prime Minister pointed out the effect of mirror reflection in diplomacy.
According to him, when slogans about the belonging of Ararat, Artsakh or Dadivank are heard in Armenia, it gives Baku a good opportunity to promote the concept of “Western Azerbaijan”, and vice versa. In order to break through this vicious cycle of mutual historical demands, Pashinyan called for the logic of a “strategic deal” between the two states.
The Prime Minister reminded that the first important step on that path has already been taken. the peace agreement has been initialed, and now the parties need to build further work on this very basis, minimizing political vulnerability.
