If Azerbaijan rejects the packaged settlement of the issue, then there is only one option for step-by-step settlement, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan has said.
“After Azerbaijan’s attempt at the beginning of this April to repeat aggression against the self-determined Nagorno-Karabakh Republic it became clear to everyone that if Azerbaijan rejects the packaged settlement of the issue, then there is only one option for step-by-step settlement,” Shavarsh Kocharyan said in comments to Armenpress.
According to the Deputy FM, “Azerbaijan should first recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, return the territories of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, which are still under its occupation, and apply to the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic with the initiative to launch negotiations on the delimitation of the state border between Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh.”
