"Armenia attaches importance to the adoption of a joint declaration
with Azerbaijan in the context of exclusion of the forced settlement
of the Karabakh conflict", said Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan in
his interview to German newspaper "Frankfurter algemeine tseitung".
"It is important for us that Azerbaijan has signed a document,
ruling out the forced resolution and recognized all principles of
international law on the resolution of this conflict and not only
those, related to the territorial integrity", said Sargsyan.
The President noted that "the core of the conflict is a status of
Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan must recognize the right of its
people for self-determination". After it, he said other problems can
be settled as well.
He said in this connection that the control over the regions, adjacent
to Nagorno Karabakh is not a purpose for the Armenian side, but this
is required for its protection.
"We need talks on the basic document and then a peace treaty. We have
a long way to pass", noted Sargsyan.
Asked if Karabakh can be an autonomy, Sargsyan said: "The matter is
to create an environment of security for the population".
"History showed that this is important in Azerbaijan. We never believed
that Karabakh can remain within Azerbaijan and it is not important
with which status", said Sargsyan.
