The "Crossroads of Peace" project worries Azerbaijan because this project can bring tens of billions of benefits to Armenia. About this, today, October 12, "Crossroads of Peace. uniting security and democracy" said Nikol Pashinyan in his speech at the forum.
"And that fact can potentially bring two concerns to Adrejan. First, if Azerbaijan honestly thinks that Armenia has aggressive plans towards Azerbaijan in the strategic perspective, it can create perceptions that those tens of billions of dollars can be used against Azerbaijan.
But there is also the opposite, that if Azerbaijan has aggressive intentions towards Armenia, it may concern Azerbaijan that those tens of billions of dollars can be used to increase Armenia's defense capability and Azerbaijan may have problems implementing its aggressive plans towards us.
I can say that Armenia does not have any aggressive intentions towards Azerbaijan or the countries of the region in general. We recognize the territorial integrity of all our neighbors and are ready to assume de jure obligations regarding it.
I would like to say more: Armenia has recorded that we do not pose the problem of returning our occupied territories by military means, because the document we signed with Azerbaijan in the border demarcation process provides all the opportunities for the border demarcation process to take place on a legal basis. As a matter of fact, we create all the guarantees, we will continue on this path, so that none of our neighbors not only have no doubts about the existence of our aggressive intentions, but also there are de jure mandatory guarantees about the non-conduct of aggressive policies by our country.
The obvious fact is that Azerbaijan wants Armenia's roads to be usable for it, but at the same time Armenia will continue to be under blockade. This in itself is an illogical approach, it is not acceptable for Armenia," said Nikol Pashinyan.
He also said: "We are ready to provide a connection between the western regions of Azerbaijan and the autonomous republic of Nakhichevan."
