YEREVAN, MARCH 1, ARMENPRESS. Nelly Baghdasaryan, Advisor to the President of Artsakh, described the news spread by the Azerbaijani media, which tried to present the meeting between the representatives of the Republic of Artsakh and Azerbaijan as so-called "preliminary discussions about the reintegration of the Armenians of the Karabakh region" as disinformation.

Speaking with ARMENPRESS reporter, Nelly Baghdasaryan mentioned that the spokesperson of the Artsakh President gave details about the meeting between the official representatives of the Republic of Artsakh and the Republic of Azerbaijan, with the mediation and participation of the command of the Russian peacekeeping troops, during which humanitarian and infrastructural issues were discussed. After the meeting, the Azerbaijani mass media actively spread disinformation, presenting it as the so-called "preliminary discussions about the reintegration of the Armenians of the Karabakh region".

"The President of the Republic of Artsakh, in his February 23 address and during the Cabinet meeting on March 1, once again ruled out any integration process with Azerbaijan, noting that political dialogue with Azerbaijan for the purpose of conflict settlement is possible only within the framework of the international mediation format," Nelly Baghdasaryan emphasized. 

Speaking about another disinformation spread by the Azerbaijani mass media, according to which the next meeting of the official representatives of the parties "may take place in Ganja or Aghdam", and without the participation of the Russian peacekeeping troops, the advisor to the Artsakh President stressed that this also does not correspond to the reality, because since the tripartite declaration of November 9, 2020, the communications and meetings of the representatives of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Artsakh related to the settlement of the humanitarian and infrastructural problems of the Artsakh Republic are organized at the place determined by the Russian peacekeeping troops, with their mediation and participation.
