Azerbaijan does not wish to conduct negotiations with Nagorno Karabakh
but it does not mean that Nagorno Karabakh is not partaking in the
negotiation process, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said in an
interview to "Echo Moskvi" radio station, pointing out that every time
before and after the negotiations he meets with the NK leadership "as
conducting negotiations without NK, not to offend the Karabakhi people,
would mean to go to engagement ceremony without bride or bridegroom."
He said that is the reason why there is no secret here and when in
many cases we are not paying attention to this inquiry, afterwards
the response becomes a subject for speculation of Azerbaijan.
"If we ask the Karabakhi people or Armenians, of course no one wants
to return a centimeter of land but on the other hand we must remember
that each decision must bring to long-lasting peace and that is why
the concessions are necessary," the Armenian president said.
