YEREVAN. Oct 21 (Interfax) - The problem of Nagorno-Karabakh cannot be solved diplomatically at its current stage, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said.
"We should realize that the issue of Karabakh, at least at this stage and for a very long time starting from this stage, cannot have a diplomatic solution. All such proposals should be considered finished," Pashinyan said in a live video address on Facebook on Wednesday.
Armenia has always said it is ready to resolve the problem based on a mutual compromise, he said.
"This means we can scale down our requirements for the sake of resolving this problem, but only on the condition that the other side also scale down its requirements. However, experience has shown that everything that's acceptable to Armenia is no longer acceptable to Azerbaijan. This means that it makes no sense to talk about a diplomatic solution, at least at the current stage," Pashinyan said.
