Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s Speech at the Joint Security Council Meeting in Stepanakert

I would like to underscore that, for us, Artsakh’s engagement in the negotiation process is not a whim or even a precondition, but a statement of the fact that Artsakh’s engagement in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is of pivotal importance.
