Armenia not ready for Russia-mediated peace talks with Azerbaijan: PM
YEREVAN, Sept 30, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on
Wednesday said peace talks with Azerbaijan under Russian mediation would be
inappropriate, as fighting over the breakaway Nagorny Karabakh region entered
a fourth day.
“It isn’t very appropriate to speak of a summit between Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Russia at a time of intensive hostilities,” Pashinyan told
Russia’s Interfax news agency. “A suitable atmosphere and conditions are
needed for negotiations.”
