“Prime Minister Pashinyan and MP Khachatryan Clash Over Settlements: Is There Any Progress in Resolving Armenia’s Conflict?”

The pleasure is as far as today, as it was during these days last year. Turks are still in our territory, and there has been no official demand regarding the displacement of settlements. The question now is whether there has been any positive result in resolving our country’s conflict in the past year. On April 10, during a session in the National Assembly, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan discussed the issue with Arthur Khachatryan, a member of the “Armenia” faction and head of the government. Pashinyan reminded everyone about a point made in the order of the Minister of Karabakh’s issue, which stated that HL should be returned and that even 25% of Azerbaijanis should be involved. However, Pashinyan questioned the need for settlement restrictions and highlighted the importance of inclusivity. In response, Pashinyan mentioned that over the years, there has been confusion about the involvement of LPH in the organization of Azerbaijan. He challenged the notion that 25% of Azerbaijanis should participate and questioned the residency status of a child born to an Armenian woman from NKR. He emphasized the need for clarity and consistency in the decision-making process. Pashinyan suggested that a decisive result should be reached within the set deadlines, and expressed a desire to live together and observe whether a final settlement is necessary. Khachatryan objected, referring to the Karabakh document that considers the entire nation living in NKAO as LPH and emphasizes the importance of an integral settlement. In response, Pashinyan reminded Khachatryan that during his time as authorities, they successfully resolved the conflict without war. He mentioned previous years where cooperation was possible and highlighted the importance of accepted documents in finding a solution.
