Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said that believing in peace does not mean that the result is guaranteed.
Pashinyan made the remarks in an interview with AFP when asked whether he believes in lasting peace with Azerbaijan.
**“**If I didn’t believe, there would be no point in taking part in the negotiations at all, but believing does not mean that the result is guaranteed, because, understandably, it depends not only on me, naturally, it depends also on the positions of the President of Azerbaijan, let alone that we are not generally negotiating in a vacuum,” Pashinyan said.
“There is an international situation, there is a geopolitical situation, there is a humanitarian situation, there are various human factors, which may emerge at any point and time. Everything influences the process, but of course, the greatest impact on the process have the direct negotiators, I mean, the President of Azerbaijan and myself.”
In the same interview, Pashinyan also weighed in on Armenia’s close ties or trust towards Russia, given that Russia did not meet Armenia's expectations during and after the war.
