Pashinyan Calls for International Fact-Finding Mission to Karabakh

Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan today stressed the immediate need to send an international fact-finding mission to Nagorno Karabakh and the Lachin Corridor to prevent Baku from continuing its policy to ethnically cleanse the region of Armenians.

Pashinyan, at a cabinet session today, described the Azerbaijani March 5 attack on an Artsakh police van as terrorism to scuttle further negotiations between the Artsakh government and Baku.

"On March 1, the first meeting of the representatives of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan took place at the headquarters of the Russian peacekeeping force in Nagorno-Karabakh, and four days after that meeting, Azerbaijan implemented the above provocation, which is difficult to describe as anything other than an act of terrorism,” Pashinyan said.

The Armenian prime minister noted that the Artsakh government, following the attack, announced it is ready to continue talking with Baku.

Pashinyan said reliable international mechanisms must be put in place to facilitate talks between Artsakh and Azerbaijan.

He referred to the February 22 decision of the International Court of Justice rejecting Azerbaijan’s request to apply a temporary measure against Armenia based on Baku’s allegations that Armenia was laying landmines along the border.

Pashinyan said Baku’s attempt to use the March 5 attack as evidence that Armenia is ending weapons to Karabakh had failed miserably.

He castigated Baku for not implementing the recent decision of the International Court of Justice calling on Azerbaijan to reopen the Lachin Corridor.
