    TROOPS WILL BE WITHDRAWN, IF BAKU RECOGNIZES KARABAKH'S RIGHT TO SELF- DETERMINATION - SARGSYAN

    The Moscow declaration rules out the use of force to resolve the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said.

    "The military resolution of the conflict is excluded after the
    Moscow declaration was signed. However, the issue is about the
    declaration, and we would be glad to sign an agreement. I would not
    underestimate the role of this document. I am glad that Azerbaijan
    signed the document, which recognized all the basic principles of
    international law on resolving conflicts, not just the territorial
    integrity principle. It is good that the role of the Minsk Group was
    again underscored after lengthy discussions about the efficiency of
    this format," Sargsyan said in an interview with the German newspaper
    Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

    Asked whether the Armenian side is ready to withdraw troops from
    seven districts adjacent to Nagorno-Karabakh, Sargsyan said, "The
    core of the conflict is the status of Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan
    should recognize the rights of the people in Nagorno-Karabakh to
    self- determination. Other moves will follow the resolution of this
    issue. The control over territories is not an end in itself but
    a means of protecting Nagorno-Karabakh. We need talks on a basic
    document and then a peace treaty. There is a way for us to go,"
    the Armenian president said.
