FM says if Azerbaijan has the ability to negotiate, Armenia is more than ready
If the other party has the ability to negotiate, we are more than ready, Armenia’s FM Zohrab Mnatsakanyan said on Wednesday at the Q/A session held with lawmakers at the National Assembly. The FM response came at a request to comment on the upcoming meeting with Azerbaijani counterpart to discuss the Nagorno Karabakh issue.
“We are negotiating with Azerbaijan within the frames of our approaches. That is a necessary process, and we have no aim to avoid talks,” the FM noted.
Mnatsakanyan pointed to the necessity of reducing escalation risks which is a an important component of establishing an environment conductive to peace.
“The direct communication line between the leaders is a result of agreement. The process of preparing people for peace is another important factor,” said Mnatsakanyan.
