    ARMENIAN PRESIDENT CALLS ON AZERBAIJAN TO SIGN NON-AGGRESSION PACT

    Yerevan (Yerkir) - Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has appealed to
    Azerbaijan to sign a non-aggression pact which he hopes would prepare
    the ground for continued talks about the future of Nagorno Karabakh.

    In an interview with Euronews, Sargsyan said that non-use of force
    is an underlying principle of international law, which holds the key
    to a lasting settlement of the long-running territorial dispute.

    In an earlier conciliatory move towards Baku, the Armenian leader
    said he was ready to accept the modified Madrid Principles of solving
    the conflict.

    Azeri President Ilham Aliyev responded by saying the negotiations were
    already in their final stage but insisted on the return of all Karabakh
    territories and the withdrawal of the Armenian forces stationed there.

    Simultaneously, President Sargsyan reiterated Armenia's longstanding
    premise about the people of Nagorno-Karabakh having every right to
    self-determination, adding that Karabakh was artificially appended
    to Azerbaijan during the Soviet times and Armenia could not just give
    it up.
