MP: Key international actors supported Artsakh`s right to  self-determination, but Pashinyan rejected this approach and handed  it over to Azerbaijan

ArmInfo.  Key international players supported Artsakh's right to self-determination, but the government of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan effectively  rejected this approach and handed Artsakh over to Azerbaijan. This  was stated by Tigran Abrahamyan, a member of the Armenian parliament  from the opposition "I Have the Honor" faction.

The MP noted that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated on July  13 in occupied Shushi that for many years, the basis of negotiations  on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict had been the transfer of the former  Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region and the Karvachar and Lachin  regions to Armenia. "According to Aliyev, the OSCE Minsk Group  co-chairs, represented by the United States, Russia, and France, also  insisted on this solution. Incidentally, this idea and position are  also evident in Pashinyan's packages on the Artsakh negotiation  process, published last year.

In fact, key international players supported Artsakh's right to  self-determination, negotiations along these lines had been ongoing  for many years, but Pashinyan's government rejected this approach and  handed Artsakh over to Azerbaijan," the MP concluded.
