Yesterday, Armenia transferred to Azerbaijan an updated version of the demilitarized zone
RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan noted that yesterday RA submitted to Azerbaijan a new proposal to create a demilitarized zone.
According to him, "On October 31, during the tripartite meeting in Sochi, I presented the proposal of the Nagorno Karabakh authorities on this topic. Create a demilitarized zone around Nagorno-Karabakh, with international guarantees, as a result of which Nagorno-Karabakh may not need a defense army of such a scale. That proposition still stands, I believe.
We made and are making a demilitarization proposal regarding the Armenia-Azerbaijan border zone, proposing to withdraw the troops from the border reestablished in 1991, creating a 3-kilometer demilitarized zone on both sides of the border. That proposal remains in force, and we have delivered an updated version of it to Azerbaijan yesterday. In any case, I must record that the armed forces of Azerbaijan must be withdrawn from all occupied parts of the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia, and this position of ours will never be changed in any way."
