The Prime Minister must personally go to Baku and, using (or having used previously) his favorite format of bilateral negotiations with the President of Azerbaijan, achieve a result that will make possible the immediate return of all our compatriots who were captured or held hostage to their homeland.
This is stated in the statement of Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan:
“From November 11 to 22, the UN Climate Change Summit (COP 29) will be held in the capital of Azerbaijan, and an official invitation has been sent to the Prime Minister of Armenia. This indicates that to this day there is no final decision regarding participation in the event.
As for Armenia’s participation in COP 29, I consider it necessary to make a reservation.
I – The attitude and position of the supporters of the sacred struggle and the movement regarding the current Prime Minister of Armenia remain unchanged, due to both the legitimacy of the latter and the complete failure of domestic and foreign policy.
II – At the same time, if the holder of the post of Prime Minister considers himself the Prime Minister of Armenia, then there must be a very clear and result-oriented decision regarding participation in COP 29 and specific steps arising from the latter, such as:
A) the Prime Minister must personally go to Baku and, using (or having previously used) his favorite format of bilateral negotiations with the President Azerbaijan, to achieve such a result that will make possible the immediate return of all our compatriots who were taken captive, all of them without exception.
B) In his official speech, which will be delivered within the framework of the COP 29 event, the Prime Minister should confirm the fact of Azerbaijan’s aggression against the sovereign territories of the Republic of Armenia, demanding the immediate restoration of the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia. Armenia.
C) In his official speech, which will be delivered within the framework of the COP 29 event, the Prime Minister should give a clear assessment of what happened in Artsakh in September 2023 as ethnic cleansing and forced displacement.
D) The Prime Minister should state in his speech that the Artsakh issue is not closed, and the safe and dignified return of our compatriots to Artsakh under international guarantees is the number one issue on the agenda in the context of establishing stable and long-term peace in the South Caucasus.
Any step, action and/or course of events that does not reflect and confirm the stated provisions cannot be considered a result, moreover, in such a case we will be dealing with another step towards misleading our own public and serving the interests of Azerbaijan.”
