David Babayan claims the peace agreement cannot be at the cost of Artsakh

Artsakh cannot be the price of a peace treaty, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nagorno-Karabakh Davit Babayan stated in a conversation with “Azatutyan”.

We present an excerpt from the interview.

David Babayan – Artsakh cannot be the price of that peace treaty. If there is no Artsakh, then many, many bad things will happen, that’s why in that treaty…, naturally, one of the goals of Azerbaijan and Turkey is that we ourselves should recognize it as part of Azerbaijan. This will demoralize us, we will lose our principles, and we will turn into an object and get a worse status, but in this situation and in this region, you can imagine what happens to such countries.

“Azatutyun”. – You mean that if the parties recognize each other’s territorial integrity and Artsakh is not mentioned there?

Babayan – Artsakh should not enter into that territorial integrity, I don’t know how it will be formulated, that is, there are ways, but it is already a technical issue. The principle should be that Artsakh is not a part of Azerbaijan, otherwise, I really can’t even imagine what we should call ourselves after that.
