Azerbaijan prepares new attack on Armenia: Pashinyan tells France 24

YEREVAN, February 23. /ARKA/. Azerbaijan is actually preparing a new attack on Armenia. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in a Thursday interview with France 24.

He said Azerbaijan and Armenia had agreed in Prague and Brussels (with the suport of EU) that the peace treaty between them is to be based on three major principles - Armenia and Azerbaijan recognize each other's territorial integrity within 29.800 and 86.600 square kilometers respectively, the delimitation and demarcation of their borders, are to be carried out on the basis of the Alma-Ata Declaration and all regional transport liobnks are to be reopened.

'Our problem is to reflect these principles in the peace treaty. If they are observed, we will achieve peace. But if we look into the latest statements comming from Baku, we can assume that it is actually preparing a new attack on Armenia," Pashinyan aid.

As an example, Pashinyan referred to Azerbaijani statements about 'Western Azerbaijan.' He said by these statements Azerbaijan makes claims to a significant part of Armenia's territory.

"If the principles of territorial integrity and inviolability of borders are not recognized by Azerbaijan, it means that the other principles, which should be reflected in the peace treaty, are not respected by Azerbaijan either," Pashinyan said. -0-
