ArmInfo. One of the countries of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs has already "reacted in advance" to yesterday's proposal by acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on deploying international observers along the borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The acting head of the Armenian government Nikol Pashinyan told on May 28 at a meeting with party supporters "Civil contract" in the administrative region of Ajapnyak in Yerevan.
According to Pashinyan, Armenia can and must avoid the war, which Azerbaijan wants to force today. He recalled the proposal, which he had voiced at the meeting of the RA Security Council, according to which the shortest way to de-escalate the situation on the border with Azerbaijan is to place international observers from Russia and other countries of the OSCE Minsk Group (USA and France) along the borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan, in particular , on the section Sotk-Khoznavar. As Pashinyan pointed out, the Armenian authorities very calmly, "in the face of the international community," offer the armed units of the two sides to withdraw from the border and return to their places of permanent deployment. "Then, international observers are stationed along the border, and we study the documents in order to clarify the borders," he said.
The acting Prime Minister touched upon the situation in the area of Lake Sev Lich (Black Lake) in the Syunik region. "The maps of the Soviet period were published. We all saw that the upper part of the border passes through water - 20 or 30%. Do we now admit it or not? And should we start a war over 30% of Sev Lich. No, we will not escalate the situation and will resolve the issue peacefully. I published the formula the day before, "he concluded.
