BRUSSELS—Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Thursday questioned Azerbaijan’s commitment to the Karabakh peace process, telling world leaders gathered at NATO’s working group on Afghanistan that Baku’s actions undermine the conflict resolution process.
Pashinyan referenced NATO’s final declaration, which, in generic form, urged sides to constructively seek peaceful resolutions to regional conflicts.
“We continue to support the right of all our partners to make independent and sovereign choices on foreign and security policy, free from external pressure and coercion. We remain committed in our support for the territorial integrity, independence, and sovereignty of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and the Republic of Moldova. In this context, we continue to support efforts towards a peaceful settlement of the conflicts in the South Caucasus, as well as in the Republic of Moldova, based upon these principles and the norms of international law, the UN Charter, and the Helsinki Final Act. We urge all parties to engage constructively and with reinforced political will in peaceful conflict resolution, within the established negotiation frameworks,â€
