CSO Statement on Trilateral Negotiations

May 22, 2021
In the post-war period, details about the situation on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border and the resolution of security issues have not been provided by the Armenian Government or other state bodies to the public. This situation breeds fertile ground for disinformation and the dissemination of fake news, leaving the public even more vulnerable and justifiably deepening a lack of confidence in state institutions and the ruling political party.

The secrecy surrounding foreign policy processes has often created challenges for the Republic of Armenia and its statehood. This vicious practice must be put to an end; henceforth, any Government or political party must not bypass the people and accept momentous and irreversible decisions based on narrow personal or group interests. Regarding the delimitation and demarcation of borders, these can only be considered legal through the inclusion of United Nations and OSCE representatives, in accordance with legal processes enshrined in international legal norms.
