Armenia Security Council secretary evades confirming ‘Artsakh is Armenia, period’ theory
Secretary of the Security Council, Armen Grigoryan, avoided—during a press briefing Thursday at the government of Armenia—confirming the theory "Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)] is Armenia, period" that was once stated by PM Nikol Pashinyan.
According to Grigoryan, still within the framework of public discussions, Armenia has announced the documents within the framework of which it sees the negotiation process.
"We continue to emphasize the security of our compatriots living in Artsakh and their rights, from which the status [of Artsakh] shall stem. We are convinced that rights and security determine the status. We will continue to work in this direction, and we are convinced that it is an important direction where we will achieve results by working," Grigoryan said.
To the question whether he can confirm the validity of the theory "Artsakh is Armenia, period," Grigoryan said that this question has been answered many times.
To note, Armen Grigoryan's predecessors also have tried to avoid voicing this theory, reasoning that negotiations are underway.
