The international community, according to Pashinyan, should take care of the rights and security of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh. It is important, he says, that an international mechanism for negotiations and dialogue be formed between Baku and Stepanakert..

The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh began in 1988. In 1991, after the collapse of the USSR, the Armenians, who are the main population of Nagorno-Karabakh, proclaimed this Azerbaijani territory an independent state.. After the 2020 six-week war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, a significant part of Nagorno-Karabakh came under the de facto control of Baku.

Earlier it was reported about another aggravation in Nagorno-Karabakh.
