"The version in which the right to self-determination of Artsakh will not be closed and the rights of Artsakh Armenians will remain under discussion is acceptable for Dashnaktsutyun." Today, in a conversation with Radar Armenia, MP Gegham Manukyan of the Armenia faction of the National Assembly said, refusing to answer whether they are in favor of the Russian or Washington proposals.

We asked Manukyan whether the Azerbaijani side agreed with the Russian proposals. According to the deputy, Pashinyan himself announced that Armenia agreed to the Russian version in September, "However, he made a dangerous statement that he hopes that Russia will insist on its proposals in this matter, without elaborating whether he will insist on that proposal at the meeting in Sochi or not?" will leave the burden of all the weight on Russia and as a result will defeat that Russian initiative, where the issue of the status of Artsakh remains open."

According to Gegham Manukyan, agreeing or not agreeing in the negotiations depends on the position of the other party "If Armenia can express its position very firmly, and the Russian position coincides with the Armenian one, there is a great chance that it will be possible to succeed, and the issue of the status of Artsakh will continue to be a matter of discussion."

It should be noted that Manukyan tore up the so-called Western version of the peace treaty while speaking from the podium at the time of the NA announcements.
