Armenian President Serge Sargsyan met with a group of young Armenians
from the "Miasin" ("Together") movement camping near Lake Sevan
together with a group of young people from Diaspora.
The President asnwered a number of questions most of them concerning
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenian-Turkish, and Armenia-Diaspora
relations.
Serge Sargsyan said some new proposals have been put on the table of
negotiations which Azerbaijan was expected to approve or decline at
the trilateral meeting (presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Moscow)
in Saint Petersburg.
"If Baku approves the Minsk group proposals, negotiations will
continue, and if it does not, some other ways will be chosen. Yes,
the negotiations are going on. The latest proposals were presented
in Saint Petersburg. We say, that the document allows us to proceed
with the talks. Let's see what Azerbaijan will say to that," he said.
Talking about the recent developments in Armenian-Turkish relations,
Serge Sargsyan said the Turkish authorites have adopted a policy of
"say-what-occurs-in-your-mind" and distorting the facts.
"While the world is urging Turkey to express a will and ratify the
Protocols, Turks won't understand, and they even urge us to express
a will," the Prsident said.
He said Armenia will never ignore a hand of friendship, but when the
hand is a false one, it is ignored.
