Radar Interview

"This is the only option for Armenia and Azerbaijan to get out of the hole." Areg Kochinyan (VIDEO)

Areg Kochinyan is a guest on Radar Armenia's "Radar Chat" program.

He referred to the wishes of the West and Russia in achieving peace in the region, talked about the possibilities of signing a peace treaty, the return of 4 rural areas bordering Tavush, the chance of finding solutions to the existing situation, and talked about EU membership and Armenian-Russian relations.

According to Areg Kochinyan, the Russian side has no red lines. I will go to the end.

"In this matter, our interests coincide with everyone except Russia.

Russia is not on the side of Azerbaijan, but of the conflict. Russia's ally in the conflict, not Armenia or Azerbaijan.

Four rural areas should be returned to Azerbaijan. There is no second opinion here.

This topic was included in the morning version of the November 9 ceasefire, which was omitted from the evening version. This is the only way for Armenia and Azerbaijan to escape this hole."

According to him, Azerbaijan is a much more sovereign state than Armenia.

The political scientist welcomes the government's move to return to the four rural areas but raises the question of whether the government will follow the planned path after the announcement. "Will the government go that way, or did it make that statement to have an alibi?" We cannot mislead people and say we are entering the EU tomorrow. I don't mind if the prime minister goes to have lunch with Putin once a week, but let our cart move."
