Now let me return to the question that according to the position of the Russian Federation, the status of Nagorno-Karabakh should be postponed indefinitely. That offer was brought to the region in 2022. In late July-early August, the Russian Foreign Ministry's representative presented it to Armenia and Azerbaijan. After that, the representative of the Russian Federation, Mr. Khovaev, came to the region in 2022. September for a response. The first is to visit Azerbaijan," the prime minister reminded.

According to him, Khovaev came to Armenia from Baku on September 13, and that night, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces launched a large-scale attack on the sovereign territory of Armenia. "The CSTO and the Russian Federation did not respond to Armenia's written and oral requests to fulfill the obligations defined by the legislation and the agreement. Armenia responded positively to Russia's response presented by Khovaev. On October 6, an agreement was reached that Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to accept each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty based on the Alma Ata Declaration. Armenia adopted that decision to protect its territorial integrity.
