"Until Azerbaijan is criticizing the aÑ~Ations of the Minsk Group
on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, we can be calm", said
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
"After the first meeting with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev I
had an impression that peaceful means of the resolution of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict have not been exhausted yet", said the Armenian
President at a press conference Monday.
The first meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan took
place in Saint Petersburg on June 7.
According to the head of the Armenian state, he got an impression
that Aliyev is also inclined for continuation of talks. Sargsyan
expressed confidence that the talks may promote resolution of the
Karabakh problem.
Commenting on the resentment of the Azerbaijani side over the activity
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Sargsyan noted that "until Azerbaijan is
criticizing the actions of the Minsk Group, we can remain calm".
According to the President, it is a small ruse of the Azerbaijani
side for mediators to soften its positions or meet Azerbaijan's demand.
"It is their business and I do not think it will promote the peaceful
negotiation process", announced Sargsyan.
At the same time, the President confirmed readiness to continue talks
on the basis of Madrid proposals, considering that the OSCE Minsk
Group format may be effective.
At the same time, the Armenian President noted that until the peace
treaty is signed, at least two officials in the state- president
and the defense minister should consider that hostilities may start
even tomorrow".
"According to Sargsyan, efforts are made in this direction and the
most powerful factor is the Armenian army and the country's armed
troops. The Armenian President said he will spare no efforts for
development of the army and armed forces.
