“We support a peaceful settlement, as well as a delimitation, a complete settlement of the border issue. We are for this. The question is what option to choose is the case of Armenia, the Armenian people and leadership. In any case, whatever the choice if it may be This will lead to the world – we are only for. But we are not going to impose anything. We cannot and are not going to dictate Armenia. If the Armenian people and today’s Armenian leadership believes that we need to choose some specific version of a peace treaty, for example, the so -called so -called Washington, which provides for the recognition of Azerbaijan’s sovereignty over Karabakh, if Armenia thinks so, then please, ”said Putin.
