NKR Prime Minister: Holding talks with Azerbaijan is useless
It is regrettable that Armenia allowed Russia, which is a co-chair country of the OSCE Minsk Group, to sell such amount of weapons to Azerbaijan, NKR Prime Minister Ara Harutyunyan said at a meeting with reporters from Yerevan on Thursday.
“Azerbaijan can buy weapons from another state unless it buys them from Russia. It has money, so it will buy weapons,” he said.
According to the NKR PM, we have to confront this. “Fortunately, peace will be maintained in our region for a long time thanks to the Defense Army.”
Regarding the Karabakh settlement negotiations, Mr Harutyunyan said that he sees no progress in the issue. “Azerbaijan makes such statements that cannot be subject of negotiations. We are often criticized for not negotiating with Azerbaijan. But whom shall we negotiate with? Currently, holding talks with Azerbaijan is useless.”
