Acting Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan came up with a proposal on Thursday for the Armenian and Azerbaijani troops to move to their initial positions on the border and that observers from Russia or the OSCE Minsk Group states be deployed in the area.
The acting prime minister outlined a plan for peacefully settling the border situation in a speech that was broadcast on the politician’s Facebook.
"On behalf of the Armenian public, I offer to the Azerbaijani government to agree that the armed forces of both countries withdraw from the border area by several kilometers very quickly and simultaneously. We propose that the armed forces return to their initial positions and international observers from the Russian Federation or [the countries of] the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs be deployed there instead," he noted.
Following this move, the Armenian-Azerbaijani border should be drawn up under the aegis of the international community, Pashinyan said.
